Geotab Navigation

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

Consumer navigation apps generally calculate routes for passenger vehicles. Geotab Navigation considers commercial vehicle requirements, helping drivers avoid roads, bridges, and restricted areas that may be unsuitable for their vehicles.

Geotab Navigation uses vehicle-specific information such as height, weight, length, and cargo type to calculate routes that are more appropriate for commercial vehicles.

Yes. Vehicle height can be considered when calculating a route, helping drivers avoid infrastructure or roads that may not provide sufficient clearance.

Yes. The solution can use vehicle weight information to help identify routes that account for applicable bridge, road, and commercial vehicle weight restrictions.

Yes. Vehicle length is one of the vehicle-specific details that can be used to generate more suitable commercial routes.

Geotab Navigation can consider cargo type and applicable hazardous-material restrictions when calculating a route. This helps drivers avoid roads or areas where their cargo may be restricted.

Yes. The solution is designed to account for commercial road restrictions and help prevent drivers from being directed onto roads where trucks are prohibited or unsuitable.

It can improve safety by guiding drivers along routes suited to their vehicles and providing alerts about potentially higher-risk road segments. This gives drivers more information before entering challenging areas.

Predictive risk alerts notify drivers before they reach road segments identified as potentially higher risk. These insights are informed by aggregated fleet data from Geotab Altitude.

Geotab Navigation uses aggregated insights from millions of fleet trips to help identify higher-risk road segments and provide drivers with advance warnings.

Yes. By considering vehicle specifications and commercial restrictions before the trip begins, Geotab Navigation can help reduce unsuitable route choices, unexpected turnarounds, and avoidable detours.

Yes. The solution can help fleets choose routes that avoid unnecessary tolls while continuing to account for commercial vehicle requirements and restrictions.

Yes. Geotab Navigation operates within Geotab Drive, allowing drivers to access navigation alongside other fleet tools through one connected application.

Depending on the fleet’s configuration, Geotab Drive can provide access to Hours of Service, Driver Vehicle Inspection Reports, messaging, fleet communications, and other driver workflows.

Yes. Vehicle-specific route guidance can help drivers navigate unfamiliar areas with greater confidence and reduce uncertainty about whether a road is suitable for their vehicle.

Geotab Navigation can support compliance by considering commercial road, weight, cargo, and vehicle restrictions when generating routes. Fleet operators and drivers remain responsible for following all applicable regulations and posted signs.

Yes. Fleets with more advanced requirements can explore Geotab’s Advanced Routing and Optimization capabilities for functions such as route planning, dispatching, stop sequencing, and fleet-wide route optimization.
