Cartrack Communicator has been updated to a new improved version that now provides longer battery life, is bigger in size and offers better screen quality. The added navigational improvements will offer users a day/night sensor, lane assist and improved mapping quality.
The Communicator is a wireless enabled navigation device that answers the growing demand for more intuitive, real-time navigation and information support. It offers a complete four in one solution in the form of navigation, messaging, tracking and task management. “The device delivers real-time, driving information that extends far beyond the basic directional capabilities of most GPS systems,” says John Edmeston, Managing Director of Cartrack, a market-leading vehicle tracking and recovery, fleet management and telematics service provider.

Drivers are now able to spend less time trying to find their destination and more time paying attention to the road. The easy to use interface also has a built in task manager where drivers can receive delivery instructions, new jobs and delivery information.

Staying in contact with a mobile workforce is many a fleet manager’s biggest challenge. “The Communicator is a touch-screen, messaging device that enables instant text messaging, internet messaging and e-mail communication between management and mobile staff via GPRS across a GSM network. It effectively means that you are in contact with your staff, anywhere in the world, and allows you to send and receive instructions and tasks that can be monitored from the comfort of your office,” explains Edmeston.

The simple ‘plug-and-play’ operation of the Communicator requires no software installation. “The effective management of costs in a fleet operation is paramount when it comes to the bottom line. The Communicator provides the means to manage your fleet drivers more efficiently by ensuring that drivers navigate correctly and reach their destinations timeously by staying on their routes, ultimately saving you time and money,” says Edmeston.

The Communicator provides a proficient way to remotely plan, track and manage mobile staff.

It is simply plugged into an auxiliary power supply, such as a cigarette lighter, and is available as a once-off cash purchase option or on a monthly contract.
