Maps & Geofencing Overview
A tour of the MapView live fleet map: the Live and Find Nearby sidebar, the map toolbar, trip playback, POIs and geofences, alerts, and sharing.
Track Your Fleet Live on the Map
Follow every vehicle in real time from the Live tab in MapView — status filters, search, sort, grouping, and a live track card with speed, address, and sensor readings.
Create a Geofence (Zone)
Draw a geofence (zone) in MapView using a polygon, rectangle, or circle, name it, then switch on Watch to get entry, exit, and dwell alerts.
Create a Geofence from a Place Boundary
Auto-draw a geofence from an administrative or place boundary — search a city, district, or suburb and place its polygon instantly instead of drawing by hand.
Watch Dashcam Video with a Trip
Play synced dashcam footage alongside a trip in MapView. On MDVR-equipped vehicles the trip video panel opens automatically with Front, Rear, Cabin, and Side cameras.
Watch a Zone: Quick Alerts from the Map
Turn on Watch for any POI, zone or route fence to instantly create an alert rule — no trip to the Alerts screen. MapView picks the right trigger for you.
Create a Route Fence
Draw a route fence in MapView — a corridor between two points that alerts when a vehicle strays. Build it from a past trip or from From/To addresses, then set exit and entry alerts.
Manage Your Saved Places
The Saved Places list in MapView keeps every POI, zone, and route fence in one place to search, filter, locate, get directions, watch, or delete.
Set a Temporary Alert Zone (Quick Alert)
Drop a Quick Alert on the map to be notified when any vehicle enters or leaves a spot for a short window — no permanent geofence needed.
Share a Completed Trip
Share a completed trip as a public link, by email or on WhatsApp. Set a purpose, an expiry and a note — the recipient sees the route without logging in.
Create a Point of Interest (POI)
Drop a pin on the MapView map to save a point of interest — name it, pick a category and colour, set a buffer radius, and optionally watch it for alerts.
Replay & Export Trip History
Load a vehicle's past trips in MapView, replay them at up to 16x, dig into the Trip Data panel and event log, and export the trip as KML or XLSX.
Share a Vehicle's Live Location
Share a vehicle's live location with anyone outside your account. Send an email invite or generate a link, set an expiry, add a destination, and the recipient sees a clean live map — no login.
Find Nearby Vehicles
Use MapView's Find Nearby tab to list the vehicles closest to a saved POI or any map location, so dispatch can send the nearest one.
Get Directions to a Vehicle or Place
Use MapView's Go to (directions) tool to route from a vehicle to any destination and see ETA, distance, duration, and live traffic before you dispatch.
Map Layers, Views & Traffic
Switch between roadmap and satellite views, toggle vehicles, POIs, zones and traffic, and turn on analytics layers from the MapView map.
