Omnitracs One Integration With Navigation

Omnitracs One integrates with Navigation to deliver a secure solution that maximizes safety and efficiency for the transportation and logistics ecosystem.

The following illustration helps to describe the relationships between Omnitracs One and Navigation. The green section in the illustration is possibly the most relevant and shows the following process:

1. The Omnitracs One API sends dispatches with stops to the Omnitracs Drive app.
2. The Drive app sends a stop to Navigation.
3. Navigation generates a route to the stop.

Hours of Service Integration

Omnitracs Hours of Service integrates with Navigation to give drivers an on-screen display of their status. The hours of service panel is displayed in the lower part of the screen, as shown in the following screenshots:

The hours of service panel is color-coded as follows:

• Green indicates one of the following:
  • The driver is off duty and has had a break of at least 30 minutes.
  • The driver is on duty and has at least one hour of driving time remaining.
• Yellow indicates one of the following:
  • The driver is off duty and their break has been less than 30 minutes.
  • The driver is on duty and in less than one hour they will need to go off duty for a break.
• Gray indicates that syncing the hours of service clock has failed.

Using Fleet

The Navigation app is supported by web tools in the Omnitracs RNA portal and Verizon Connect’s Fleet portal. To sign in to Fleet, use the credentials you have been issued.
