We’re putting the final touches on our new iPhone App which will be available free to all GPS Insight users.
Here are some highlights of improvements to the first version:
First choose a group (in this case we’ve chosen ALL VEHICLES) and then choose a vehicle [we'll choose "Ray" who is at a landmark named "BowlingAlley" -- landmark names can be turned off as a setting and addresses will show up instead]
Color coded list of vehicles (color indicates recent activity)
Once we choose “Ray” we see the following status on a map:
Close up of Ray in hybrid map mode
The icons on the bottom let you change map mode, zoom in/out, create a landmark, or zoom to your own location using the iPhone GPS.
Clicking on the pin’s blue “>” we get more information about Ray:
Information about the "Ray" vehicle to include setting alerts
From here we can “bookmark” Ray, call Ray (using his cell phone information within GPS Insight), or open his location in Google Mobile Maps on the iPhone itself [to get directions to, check street view, etc.]
Here we click the phone icon and can either SMS text message or call Ray directly:
Call or text your drivers from within the GPS Insight iPhone App
You can easily click (“press”) here to open the vehicle’s location within Google Mobile Maps:
Open a vehicle's location within Google Maps in GPS Insight's Vehicle Tracking iPhone App
And really cool, if the vehicle has a Garmin, you can send a message to that Garmin instantly using the GPS Insight iPhone App:
Send a message to any vehicle's attached Garmin with the GPS Insight App
We will get the final version of the app onto the Apple App Store sometime in early October.
It’s free, and you will be able to search for it in the “App Store” or go here for information: (click below to go there)

We plan to continue improving this application for all of our customers’ use — enjoy!
