A Geozone is a designated geographical area that a user creates and is saved to the organization’s web portal. Creating a Geozone is a function available to the users with the Super Administrator, or the Geozone Administrator role in your organization’s Navistream web client.
Once created, all users with access to fleet tracking can see the zone but only the admin users can create more or edit existing ones.
Geozones are important for tracking information in defined specific areas, and will grant data access on Driving Time, Driving Distance, Fuel Consumption*, Stoppage Time, Idle Time*, Tire Pressure**, and Total Time.
*This data is only available for vehicles outfitted with ECM integrated systems.
**This data is only available for vehicles outfitted with TPMS-VGM integrated systems.
Where to Create a Geozone
Log into a user account with either the Super Administrator or the Geozone Administrator Role
If you have the Geozone Administrator role you will either have the Dispatcher Role, or the Administrator role. This will affect where you are able to interact with Geozones either through Fleet Tracking, or Locations.
Under Fleet Tracking: Select “+ New Geozone” located on the top center of the map.
Under Administration: Select the "Geozones/ Locations" options from the "Resources" list either on the middle of the screen or the left side menu. Then, Right-Click on the Map and select “Draw New Geozone”.
How to Create a Geozone
Left-Click to place a point on the map.
Continue placing points on the map to create a polygonal shape to outline your desired Geozone.
After you’ve clicked back onto your original point, the Geozone will be completed and a pop-up menu will appear (If under Administration, you have to click “Save” on the map to be directed to the pop-up menu).
Use this menu to give your Geozone a Name, Location Type, Display Color, Speed Limit and Grace Period, or to edit your exact coordinates.
Name: Name of Geozone.
Location Type: Choose the most relevant choice from the list.
Display Color: Your Geozone will appear in this color on the map.
Coordinates: The exact coordinates of your drawn polygonal shape with the ability to edit them more accurately.
Speed Limit: Designate a max speed limit for any vehicle in this Geozone.
Grace period: After going over your designated speed limit for a time greater than the designated Grace Period (Unit is in Seconds) a speed violation will be recorded.
Date/ Time Constraints: You also have the ability to enforce the restriction on the set Speed Limit's Days of the Week, Time of Day, and Date Ranges.
- Press the Save button when finished.
