FLEET MANAGEMENT WITH A DIFFERENCE!
PND-based Mobile Resource Management Solutions
Garmin portable navigation devices (PNDs) are a key part of today's most useful, versatile and cost-efficient fleet monitoring solutions. Working with fleet management partners, Garmin PNDs provide the interactive navigation link that's been missing in fleet management systems.
How it works

◦
Garmin PNDs, are installed in each vehicle, along with an in-vehicle data transponder.The Garmin PNDs double as navigators and mobile data terminals in the vehicle, while the "black box" data transponder unit provides seamless connectivity to the monitoring center via a wireless mobile data network.
Garmin's fleet management and dispatch messaging interface enables direct-to-driver communication via text messaging, as well as instant re-routing with "new destination" message prompts.
