You might need to find fleet vehicles that are near a vehicle — for example, if a bus has had an accident and you need a close-by vehicle to go pick up the students on it. To do so, follow these steps:
- Track the vehicle you want to search near as shown in Tracking a Vehicle.
- In the grid beneath the map, right-click the number of the vehicle and select Map Nearby Vehicle from the menu.
The Map Nearby screen will appear on a new tab.
- Click the Groups drop-down arrow to expand the Groups panel.
- Optionally, in the Groups panel, you can select the group whose vehicles you want to find by checking the box to the left of the group name.
Note: If you don’t select a group, all vehicles in all your groups will be searched for. - Select from these choices in the Options area:
- Map X Closest Vehicles: You can choose a number of vehicles to locate using the
/
buttons.
- Find Within X Miles: You can choose a certain radius, from 1 to 50 miles, in which to search.
- Only in Map Window: This displays only vehicles within the boundaries of the map.
- Map X Closest Vehicles: You can choose a number of vehicles to locate using the
- Click Map Nearby.
All nearby fleet vehicles that meet your criteria will be displayed on the map, and their data will appear in the grid beneath the map.
Note: The column headers are the same as those listed in Tracking a Vehicle, with one addition: ETA, which is how long it would take each vehicle to reach the vehicle in distress. - You can watch the found vehicles in real time by clicking
at the top right of the screen.
