Is there any Google Maps or TomTom navigation integration ?

Google Maps & TomTom navigation

Schedule it has integration with Google Maps and TomTom Webfleet navigation systems. This allows scheduling and navigation to be combined into a single application.

Google Maps

With Google maps and Schedule it, directions and locations can be checked between selected resources. These can be emailed or viewed online. Give each resource a GEO location which can be a zip/post code then in an event choose Navigation from the options.

TomTom WEBFLEET

With TomTom Webfleet events can be sent to remote units, staff, or vehicles, with details of the event. The live status of any events can be seen, along with travel time and current units status, and live GPS positions. Live messaging and other options are also integrated.

4, Select the Messaging tab where you should now see all available TomTom units that can receive messages. A test message can be sent to any unit.

5, From the Schedule it Data menu add some staff resources (TomTom units) to Schedule it and enter in the Geo Location field their home location and TomTom ID (latitude,longitude,ID). You can get the latitude and longitude by pressing the mapping icon next to the Geo field then selecting Search from the Tools tab.

E.g. 55.714000,-1.921300,J Smith

If you exclude a TomTom ID (3rd value) from your Geo Location details for an address, Schedule it will create a new TomTom address from the Schedule it customer details and send the address information online with the first order that needs it. If you include a TomTom address ID then the existing online address will be used.

7, You can now create a new event and link it to a staff member and customer then save the event. Choosing Navigation from the Options button will allow you to send the event as an order. Other tools are also available.
