Search Options
You can search by:

After Searching
Once you've searched for a location, you have two options:
1. Add This Point
Create a geofence around the searched location:
Perfect for setting up location-based reports
Create alerts when vehicles enter or leave specific areas
Useful for monitoring regular customer sites or restricted zones
2. Nearest Vehicles
Find the closest driver to the searched location:
Drivers are ranked by distance from the location
Ideal for dynamic work and emergency callouts
Helps you dispatch the most efficient driver for urgent jobs
Practical Example
If you receive a callout to a specific postcode:
Search for the location using map search
Click "Nearest Vehicles"
See which driver is closest and dispatch them immediately
This saves time and reduces travel costs by ensuring you always send the nearest available driver.
Benefits
Map search helps you work more efficiently by combining location intelligence with your fleet data.
Whether you're planning ahead with geofences or responding to urgent requests, you can make informed decisions about vehicle deployment in seconds.
