Garmin International has announced that its Fleet Management Interface (FMI) program has expanded thanks to new collaborations with corporations worldwide. Garmin's FMI enables fleet tracking, messaging, dispatch and navigation directly on Garmin's portable navigation devices, such as the StreetPilot, nuvi and zumo series.

With Garmin GPS, drivers and dispatchers work together to improve customer response, optimize fleet resources, and ultimately, achieve lower costs and higher profits for the company.

Companies desiring to manage their mobile resources can partner directly with Garmin or work with a third-party application provider. Air-Trak, DQ Technologies, and OMNiBRIDGE are the latest mobile resource management partners who are integrating Garmin GPS devices into their product portfolio. Enfora and WebTech Wireless are OEM/hardware wireless solution providers that will be able to offer the components necessary with Garmin's FMI so customers can come to market faster.

The FMI enables direct-to-driver communication via text messaging and instant re-routing with "new destination" message prompts. Utilizing third party sensor and communication devices, companies can track vital GPS information like vehicle location, speed and direction of travel, distance traveled, elapsed time, as well as fuel status, idle times, number of stops, cargo door access, cargo temperature, and battery and thermostat levels.

In addition to these FMI specific features, drivers will also have access to Garmin's acclaimed navigation where mobile workers can enter a specific street address and receive turn-by-turn, text-to-speech, voice prompted directions to their destination. If a driver misses a turn, Garmin's navigation technology will automatically recalculate a new route to the destination.
