would populate on the map of the closest
locations that matched your search criteria.
A "Search Results" box will open on the right side
of your screen (See Figure 13.0) with addresses
and phone numbers for the locations appearing
on the screen.
In the simplest of terms, if it is in the phone book,
the US Fleet Tracking system will show it to you
on the map.

Directions and Routing

The "Directions and Routing" feature enables the
user to enter a start and stop address, along with
up to 20 additional stops on a route. The system
will plot the route with driving directions.
By default, "no optimization" is checked. This will
show the route in the order in which the stops
were entered.
Note: Popups must be enabled on your browser
in order to receive driving directions. Most
browsers (IE, FireFox, Safari, Chrome, etc.) allow
you to enable popups from our site specifically
while continuing to block popups from unwanted
sites.
If the checkbox is turned on for "Fastest Time",
the route will be optimized and the stops
reordered in such a manner as to allow the driver
to complete all stops in the shortest amount of
time.

If the checkbox is turned on for "Shortest
Distance", the route will be optimized and the
stops reordered in such a manner to allow the
driver to complete all stops with the lowest
possible mileage. Please note that the shortest
mileage is not always the fastest time – for
example, interstate travel might predicate slightly
higher mileage, but also higher speed and thus
shortest time.
In order to receive driving directions, the popup
blocker on your browser may need to be disabled
temporarily to enable the pop-up window with
driving directions to appear.
Address Markers
The Address Markers tab exists to enable the
placement of user-defined markers on the map.
These markers can provide quick and easy
location of warehouses, offices, and other
landmarks relevant to your daily use of the US
Fleet Tracking vehicle tracking system.
To access this feature, select the "Address
Markers" tab and click "Show Address Editor".
After typing the name you wish to appear on the
marker label, type the address into the address
field and click the "Find Lat:Lon" button. The
system will find the closest match in the database
and populate the latitude and longitude with that
location.
Alternatively, if you know the latitude and
longitude (based on the position of a vehicle), you
