There are a number of ways to share location details with your drivers, field technicians or even customers by sending an SMS text message that includes coordinates of a vehicle, geozone, or Google maps location. Just look for the "Text Location" button in the Actions section.
-
Vehicle Location - By selecting a vehicle on the map, navigate to the Actions section of the vehicle panel and select 'Text Location'. This will open a window where you enter the phone number of who you want to send the location to and add any additional notes to the message.
Note: This is a static location share. It will send the location of the last event reported by the tracking device. If you're wanting to share a Live Location that updates in real time, check out ClearShare.
-
Geozone - Select a geozone on the map page, navigate to the Actions section and select 'Text Location'. This will open a window where you enter the phone number of who you want to send the location to and add any additional notes to the message including any saved information you have in the Geozone notes field. The location coordinates that are sent is determined by the 'Dispatch Marker' which is a floating point that you can set independently from the boundaries of the geozone. This is helpful for marking the exact entrance to a location. Look for the icon.
-
Google Maps Location - By selecting a location on the map such as "Autozone Auto Parts" you can pull up the location panel. Select 'Text Location' in the Actions section. Enter the phone number of the recipient and any additional notes you want to add.
