Thread: Android based Garmin Devices

Modern devices are extremely different from the old ones. Software too. First and foremost - online addiction. Registration, their information, services, updates ...

Advanced Trucking Navigation with the Flexibility of Android™
Customizable, scalable and powerful open application platform
Garmin serial FMI support to ensure widest compatibility
Advanced navigation features found in our top-selling trucking and automotive products
Superior, purpose-driven product design
Support for card readers, mobile printers, mobile scanners and more
Meet your businesses’ customer service and efficiency goals with the Garmin fleet 670. Our fleet solution for long-haul trucking, the fleet 670 combines the purpose-driven navigation experience of our premium navigators with the openness and flexibility of Android.

With the fleet 670, service providers can introduce customized applications and value-added services that meet their unique requirements as well as connect and control a wide range of external devices over Wi-Fi®, Bluetooth® or serial cable.

The Android Difference
fleet 670 gives providers an efficient way to bundle third-party or custom-developed applications with their unique offerings. By doing so, fleet providers can scale back or eliminate costly internal platform development efforts that combine hardware, software and applications into a single differentiated offering.

In the long run, providers will be able to rapidly roll out apps and new features specific to their targeted customers without depending on third-party technology providers.

The Garmin Difference
With purpose-built hardware optimized specifically for fleet use, 670 provides an uncompromised navigation experience with our proven driver-centric user interface at its core. Its magnetic mount allows for easy removal and docking, which allows fleet 670 to be used for signature capture and proof of delivery. And our NFC (near field communication) feature allows for easy driver/vehicle identification and data syncronization.

Our navigation APIs and built-in fleet management apps facilitate the development of complete solutions. And we have native service provider safeguards to manage and lock end-user content. Best of all: we have support tools and infrastructure in place, such as free lifetime map updates¹ with Garmin Express software support, to assist with any of your needs.

Customized Truck Routing
fleet 670 is preloaded with detailed maps that also include truck-related restrictions, such as bridge heights, and related information for most major roads and highways. Just enter your vehicle profile information (customizable by height, weight, length, width and hazardous materials) and find truck-preferred routes suitable for your rig and load². You can also enter multiple stops for more efficient routing. The onboard Trip Planner lets you create multiple-stop routes and plan and save future trips.

Simplify Log Management
You record fuel usage and fleet 670 will automatically record mileage for fuel logging. Log your Hours of Service and status and it will track your hours and automatically warn of potential HOS violations. Download everything to your computer for convenient, accurate reporting.

Free Lifetime Map Updates
Roads change. Businesses open and close. fleet 670 enables you to keep your device up-to-date with the latest maps¹ that Garmin has to offer, with no fees. Map updates also contain fresher points of interest, so your device can give results that are more relevant and have greater accuracy.

Lifetime Traffic Avoidance
fleet 670 provides optional free lifetime traffic avoidance³ for the useful life of your Garmin device. Be alerted to delays, know how many minutes of delay to expect and if there are any possible detours that may help save time and keep you on your way.

Advanced Navigation
fleet 670 redefines “spoken turn-by-turn directions” with Garmin Real Directions™, easy-to-understand driving directions that guide like a friend, using recognizable landmarks, buildings and traffic lights.

Active Lane Guidance with voice prompts indicates the proper lane needed for your route. Bird's Eye junction view offers a detailed overhead-view of interchanges, looking down as if from overhead, while photoReal Junction View realistically displays junctions and interchanges along your route, including the surrounding landscape.

Providers also can sync a Bluetooth-enabled device, such as their smartphone, to fleet 670 for hands-free calling through its integrated microphone and speaker.

More Information for Your Drive
fleet 670 keeps you informed of upcoming road conditions and restrictions, including sharp curves, bridge heights, weight limits, high wind areas, no trailer or hazardous materials. Alerts to descents and ascents prepare you to shift accordingly. Trucking speed limits appear if they differ from the posted automotive speed limit. fleet 670 provides mile marker information. Its clock changes time zones automatically and provides sunrise/sunset times. It also notifies you of state borders.
