Imported fuel transactions not matched to a vehicle can now be viewed in the Fill-ups report as a display option. Unmatched transactions will be listed under \u201cUnknown Vehicle.\u201d This is useful when importing fuel card transactions into MyGeotab.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A Lock this view option has been added to the Live Map. Once locked, the screen will stay on a specific view, even when the map refreshes, instead of following the moving vehicles. This new option is beneficial for fleet managers who need to monitor activities in a specific area on the map, such as a work yard.<\/p>\n
To enable this option, click Map, then Views, and Lock this view.<\/p>\n

In MyGeotab, all users have access to Google and OpenStreetMap based maps. OpenStreetMap is maintained by communities all over the world and updated frequently. Users can now select from additional default map types, including HERE Maps and Custom map tiles, which can be selected from Administration > System\u2026 > System Settings,<\/strong> under the Maps<\/strong> tab.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Pin device<\/strong> toggle on the Vehicle Edit > More Details<\/strong> page, has been renamed to Disable automatic vehicle management<\/strong> for clarification. Clicking the help button displays a detailed description of the option (as shown below).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n To align with the new FMCSA regulations, Geotab has made several changes to HOS\/DVIR in MyGeotab and the Geotab Drive app. Please note: Version 3.1.22 for Geotab Drive has been released and is available in the Google Play Store. Updated features in Geotab Drive 3.1.22 include:<\/p>\n Upon login, Geotab Drive will ask the driver to select and confirm the vehicle and attached trailer in use, before going to the Dashboard screen.<\/p>\n Setting up a Defect List in MyGeotab is now easier thanks to templates! Customers can use the templates as a starting point and then add or delete defaults to suit their needs. Note: The Default Trailer and Default Vehicle templates are compliant with U.S. DVIR regulations and Schedule 1, 2, and 3 are compliant with Canadian DVIR requirements.<\/p>\n To add a template, go to the Defect Lists<\/strong> page (Engine & Maintenance > DVIR<\/strong>, click the Defects<\/strong> button), open the Add<\/strong> drop down menu, select the desired template, modify the defects if applicable, then click Save<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A Comments column has been added to the Data tab on both the default and advanced Duty Status Logs Excel reports. Accessing annotated notes will make it easier to identify and correct log errors.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A Comments column has been added to the Data tab on both the default and advanced Duty Status Logs Excel reports. Accessing annotated notes will make it easier to identify and correct log errors.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n MyGeotab now supports different DOT numbers for drivers residing within the same database. MyGeotab users can designate the Main office address<\/strong> and Carrier number<\/strong> for each driver in the User Options > Hours of Service Settings<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n When logging out of the Geotab Drive app, all unverified logs will be automatically displayed for verification. The driver has the option to skip the verification; however, the best practice is to verify logs at the end of each shift.<\/p>\n Note: Logs are available for verification for 14 days and after this time they are no longer compliant.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Geotab Drive now allows drivers to choose a duty status before logging out. Previously, the app would automatically set the status to Off Duty when logging out. Status options include: Off Duty, On Duty, or Sleeper Berth.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Notifications for server side rules can now be sent to drivers even if the exception has passed. This is relevant in situations where connectivity is poor, or if the device is not on the ProPlus plan. For more information on this update, please read this post.[Post Don\u2019t Delay blog post first and then link back to it]<\/p>\n To enable late notifications, go to Exception Rule Edit > Notifications > Add Driver Feedback<\/strong>, click On<\/strong> and select a feedback option.<\/p>\n <\/p>\nPin Device Toggle Renamed<\/h4>\n
