Networkfleet Adds Satellite Maps

San Diego-based Networkfleet Inc. has added high-resolution satellite and hybrid maps to its flagship Networkfleet wireless fleet management system.

The new mapping capability gives fleet managers the ability to observe vehicles in a real-world setting with 3-D earth imagery, providing a more accurate and realistic depiction of a vehicle’s location and its geographical surroundings, according to the company.

Networkfleet combines GPS vehicle location tracking with diagnostic monitoring. With the new mapping capability, fleet managers log in to a secure Web site and observe vehicles on a street map, a satellite map or a combination hybrid map. They can also use the new mapping capability to more easily set up landmarks and establish geofences.

"At Networkfleet, we are continually adding new functionality to our product based on feedback from our large user base," says Keith Schneider, president of Networkfleet. “ Satellite mapping is another of our ongoing enhancements designed to help fleet managers better understand how their vehicles are being used."

The enhanced mapping functionality is immediately available to Networkfleet subscribers and new users via its Web-based Networkfleet wireless fleet management system.

Founded in 1999, Networkfleet is a wholly owned subsidiary of Hughes Telematics Inc. More information is available at www.networkfleet.com.
