Voice Directed Turn-by-Turn Directions

Combining Scout with a Routing Engine creates routes based on user specified origins, waypoints, and destinations. It provides turn-by- turn driving directions, distance, and estimated drive times for the U.S. and Canada. The Route optimization calculates the shortest route or fastest route, avoiding highways and toll roads. It also supports real time traffic feeds and can provide alternate routes that avoid congested or closed roads.

Scout integrates with special hardware that allows automation of DOT Hours of Service and Fuel Tax Reporting. HOS will automatically change duty status based on vehicle movement and is fully compliant with section 395.15. GPS and engine diagnostic data are key components used to ensure HOS accuracy. Vehicle speed, RPM, and GPS data integration validate this process.
