GPS Insight released its powerful and configurable, yet simple new GPS fleet tracking dashboard interface.


This new dashboard has an entirely new look and feel, says the company. Several system tabs can be customized to the user's exact preference, and additional custom tabs can be configured and saved by all users.

GPS Insight introduces tabs along the top of the dashboard so that with one click, each saved layout can be retrieved, providing a customized dashboard with the information that particular user needs. The new GPS tracking interface also includes a few initial standard layouts for typical areas: Mapping, Reports, Administration and Custom.

Now it is even easier to drag, drop and configure the exact functionality a user requires from a list of available dashlets, grouped into major categories. There are over 25 dashlets available, ranging from vehicle lists and maps, to graphs, routing tools, Garmin dispatch and alert monitors. Many custom dashlets have already been created for customers, and GPS Insight's architecture has helped them to modify or create new dashlets in as little as four hours to one week.

The overall GPS Insight menu layout has changed as well. The Mapping, Reports, Custom and Administration tabs now have drop-down menus which make all GPS Insight options available with just a few clicks each. Additionally, most customer choices are remembered for the next time a customer needs to access that particular item. This saves time otherwise spent reselecting options, date ranges and vehicle groups. Each report also has a new modern look, with improved summary data as well.

Additionally, mapping now includes real-time traffic, and the overall dashboard and maps are now significantly faster.

"I did the math and there are over 4.5 trillion ways to configure our interface now," says Robert Donat, founder and CEO of GPS Insight. "But since we don't recommend trying them all, it comes pre-configured with four popular tabs which can be modified by the user, with four additional custom tabs available which can be configured, labeled and ordered in any way. In addition, this new dashboard architecture enables us to more rapidly deploy future capabilities, functions and enhancements for customers, and significantly improves our mapping capabilities."

The new GPS Insight interface is available now to all customers, although the old interface will still be available for several months so that customers are not required to move before they are ready.
