FleetCam® Turns the Garmin® fleet™ 790 Commercial Navigator into a Powerful Video Telematics Device

JERICHO, N.Y., March 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The Garmin® fleet™ 790 commercial navigation device can now serve as a live-streaming video telematics solution for fleets without any additional hardware. Thanks to a strategic relationship with Garmin® and Forward Thinking Systems, FleetCam® is now part of the advanced mobile workforce automation app Field Warrior® and available to use on the android-powered tablet. This is the only turn-by-turn commercial navigation system with a live streaming video telematics solution and comprehensive workforce management solution built into the same device.

The Garmin® fleet™ 790 built-in camera works as a dash cam when paired with FleetCam® through the Field Warrior® app. Now, users can:

• Stream live video and download historic video without having to physically access the vehicle
• View and download automatically recorded driving event clips on a user-friendly web portal for managers
• Track unsafe driving events along the vehicle's route with the snapshot breadcrumb trail
• Review clips, set coaching priorities and leave notes using the integrated driver coaching system

The FleetCam® addition is the latest improvement to the Field Warrior® app, an all-encompassing fleet management system. This powerful solution is simple to use, and when paired with Garmin® fleet tablets, provides users with an array of helpful tools including:

• A FMCSA-registered ELD solution (requires an additional Bluetooth dongle)
• Real-time GPS tracking that captures vehicle location and activity information
• Turn-by-turn commercial navigation that factors in each vehicle's size, weight and cargo when providing directions
• Active lane guidance with detailed instructions when approaching turns and exits
• Driver scorecards that track events like speeding, excessive idling and harsh braking
• Fully customizable digital forms for proof-of-delivery, driver inspections, and more
• Two-way messaging with dispatch and field workers

"You get a full-blown fleet management tool now that FleetCam is paired with Field Warrior on the Garmin fleet 790," said David Isler, CEO of Forward Thinking Systems. "We've transformed a top-notch commercial navigation device into a complete video telematics and workforce automation solution. It's a tremendous value for customers looking to keep equipment costs down while finding ways to improve workflow and accountability."

"Gone are the days of needing multiple devices to manage your fleet operation," said Chad Sallman, Garmin senior business development manager for commercial solutions. "Now, all you need for your crew is the Garmin fleet 790 and Field Warrior with FleetCam. Garmin's android-powered tablet does it all at a fraction of the price it would cost you to buy all of these amenities separately."
