Geotab Navigation

Geotab Navigation is a commercial navigation solution that provides turn-by-turn directions based on vehicle dimensions, weight, cargo, and applicable road restrictions. It is integrated with Geotab Drive to create a connected experience for commercial drivers.

Consumer navigation apps typically calculate routes for passenger vehicles. Geotab Navigation considers commercial vehicle characteristics and restrictions, helping drivers avoid roads, bridges, and other areas that may be unsuitable for their vehicles.

The navigation uses vehicle-specific information, road data, and applicable restrictions to calculate suitable routes. Factors can include vehicle height, weight, width, length, cargo type, and road access rules.

Yes. Vehicle height can be considered when calculating a route, helping drivers avoid bridges, tunnels, and other locations with insufficient clearance.

Yes. The solution can use vehicle weight information to help drivers avoid roads and bridges with weight restrictions that may apply to their vehicles.

Yes. Vehicle width and length can be included in the routing profile so that the recommended route is better suited to the physical size of the commercial vehicle.

It can consider hazardous-material restrictions when calculating routes. This helps direct drivers away from roads, tunnels, and other areas where their cargo may be restricted.

Yes. it can recognize roads where commercial trucks are prohibited or restricted and use that information when calculating a route.

The navigation can account for toll-road preferences when creating routes. Fleets can use this capability to better align navigation with their operating priorities and travel policies.

Yes. Drivers receive turn-by-turn route guidance designed for commercial fleet operations, helping them navigate from their current location to assigned destinations.

Yes. The navigation is integrated directly with Geotab Drive, allowing drivers to access navigation alongside other tools used during their workday.

Depending on the fleet’s setup and subscriptions, Geotab Drive can provide access to hours-of-service tools, driver vehicle inspection reports, messaging, workflows, and other fleet applications.

Because navigation is available within Geotab Drive, drivers can access directions and other work-related tools through one connected application. This creates a simpler workflow and reduces the need to move between separate apps.

Predictive road-risk alerts notify drivers before they approach road segments associated with elevated driving risk. These insights are based on aggregated information from millions of fleet trips.

Advance warnings give drivers more time to prepare for potentially challenging road segments. This can support greater awareness and encourage drivers to adjust their speed or driving behavior as appropriate.

By calculating routes using commercial vehicle information and road restrictions, Geotab Navigation can help reduce unsuitable route choices that may otherwise lead to unexpected detours, delays, or difficult turnarounds.

The navigation considers relevant commercial road restrictions when calculating routes. This can support compliance efforts, but drivers and fleet operators remain responsible for following posted signs, laws, regulations, and company policies.

The solution may benefit trucking, delivery, construction, field service, utility, transportation, and other fleets that operate commercial vehicles with specific routing requirements.

Yes. Fleets can combine commercial navigation with Geotab’s Advanced Routing & Optimization capabilities to support functions such as route planning, stop sequencing, dispatching, and operational optimization.
