Navi­ga­ti­on for waste manage­ment — With Map­Trip Fol­low­Me, any dri­ver can dri­ve any rou­te! How Map­Trip Fol­low­Me helps with fle­xi­ble work­force planning.

Busi­ness Geo­ma­tics reports on the coope­ra­ti­on bet­ween info-tech solu­ti­ons GmbH & Co. KG and info­wa­re. Read more about the prac­ti­cal use of Map­Trip Fol­low­Me Navi­ga­ti­on for muni­ci­pal win­ter ser­vice and street cleaning.

In this tuto­ri­al we take you on a step by step cour­se to inte­gra­te the Map­Trip Truck navi­ga­ti­on inter­face into your own appli­ca­ti­on. The tuto­ri­al con­sists of mul­ti­ple les­sons which build upon each other and take you through the pro­cess of buil­ding an app that remo­te con­trols MapTrip. 

The artic­le explains, how the esti­ma­ted time of arri­val (ETA) is cal­cu­la­ted, how it takes live traf­fic infor­ma­ti­on into account and how we use big data to impro­ve our calculation.

Julia from our sales team has crea­ted a how to video play­list explai­ning the most important fea­tures of our Map­Trip Truck navi­ga­ti­on app.

In many use cases, it is neces­sa­ry to addi­tio­nal­ly dis­play infor­ma­ti­on from your own app to the dri­ver during navi­ga­ti­on. For this pur­po­se, Map­Trip has a screen sha­ring setting.

A cus­to­mer cont­ac­ted us and asked if he could inte­gra­te our GPS navi­ga­ti­on app Map­Trip in his Ionic app. His app mana­ges a list of addres­ses which a truck needs to visit in a given order. We did a litt­le bit of rese­arch and then gave our trai­nee Hen­drik the task of buil­ding a demo app. 

Are you loo­king for a truck navi­ga­ti­on and a traf­fic app? Why not try Map­Trip Truck. It com­bi­nes both.

For our truck GPS nav Map­Trip Truck, we loo­ked for the best data on truck par­king. We loo­ked at data from Tom­Tom and Here, as well as try­ing out a who­le ran­ge of apps.
