If a vehicle needs onsite assistance, the app provides turn-by-turn directions from your current position. Like other Trimble® products, the app works well with many equipment brands which provide a flexible solution for fleet managers worldwide. If you already have a Connected Farm account with vehicle management service enabled, simply download the app and enter your login information. In case you are not a customer yet, a demo function is available to explore the features provided before subscribing to the service. FEATURES: • View multiple equipment positions along with your current position overlaid on background imagery or road maps. • View current status information such as =moving, working or stopped. • Navigate to equipment from your current position using turn-by-turn directions. • Receive geo-fence, ignition and curfew alerts. • View historical positions. ----- Note: Connected Farm fleet app is designed for your iPhone and iPad.
