Vehicle tracking location and route maps

The Quartix system comes with integrated mapping, available both with online displays and reports, and via links in the reports in your email inbox. Google Mapping provides real-time updates to vehicle positions overlaid on maps, and Google's satellite, hybrid and terrain views.


Google maps are integrated with the Quartix system

Find and track your vehicles

Using the Quartix vehicle tracking system you can track your vehicles in real-time, anytime, using any PC. There is no need for control stations or proprietary software, as everything is accessed over the internet. Standard facilities include:

  • clicking through to location maps from daily logs and reports
  • Displaying vehicle routes superimposed on maps
  • Live tracking and location of vehicles
  • Finding the nearest vehicle to a postcode.
Google maps provide map, satellite and terrain views

Multiple map views

Infoplus and Corporate customers with Google maps get access to all the extra facilities available. The satellite view available with Google maps gives extra information about a vehicle's location not available with the map view, especially if the vehicle is off-road or in a depot, as the display on the right shows.

All customers are able to zoom the map scale in and out, and pan in any direction using the integrated mapping facilities.

Vehicle trips and routes displayed with integrated mapping

Display vehicle routes

Each individual vehicle trip, or all journeys for a day, are displayed on the maps. Control buttons allow you to step through each of the trips in a day. If desired, each trip can be overlaid on the previous ones.

Successive vehicle positions are shown with markers. Hovering with the mouse over each marker gives a pop-up with vehicle speed and direction.

Vehicle location and status displays

Vehicle location

Clicking on location information in reports and displays provides a map showing the vehicle location. As with the route display, hovering over the vehicle with the mouse displays a popup with vehicle location, speed and direction information.

The Quartix system also provides a search facility providing quick location of the vehicles currently nearest to a post-code, allowing you to cater for last minute deliveries or changes of route. Zooming in on a particular vehicle allows you to see its exact location, and direction and speed of travel.
