Garmin® fleet 700 series expands fleet management capabilities with new open platform tablets
November 16 2017 - 7:00AM
Business Wire
Garmin International, Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. (NASDAQ:
GRMN), today announced the Garmin fleet™ 700 tablet series for
fleet management solutions and telematics. The new series combines
the power of Garmin navigation with the vast flexibility of a
scalable tablet, and allows mobile workforces to customize every
tablet in the series with their own Android-based business
application. The new fleet series features three models: the fleet
770 establishes an open and scalable platform; the fleet 780 and
fleet 790 enhance the feature set with a built-in dual-purpose dash
camera; and the fleet 790 adds Open-SIM 4G/3G support to take
business wherever it needs to go, both in and out of the
vehicle.
“Our telematics solutions partners can now benefit from fleet
management-ready tablets that are purpose-built specifically for
the commercial truck environment that will drastically expand their
opportunities,” said Chad Sallman, Garmin senior business
development manager, commercial fleet solutions. “Fleet owners can
expect cutting-edge dependable tablets with world-class navigation
and complete fleet-management solutions that can be efficiently
catered to meet their business needs.”
The innovative fleet 790 comes equipped with Open-SIM embedded
cellular connectivity (4G/3G) to empower customers with an
“always-on” internet connection when Wi-Fi® connectivity is not
available. With 4G/3G support, users can extend their bandwidth to
send videos, access cloud-based applications, and eliminate the
need for a personal laptop, consumer tablet, or smartphone to
complete the job. All fleet series devices feature built-in Wi-Fi®
for easy access to over-the-air map updates, and connectivity to
third-party accessories, including back-up cameras, side-view
cameras and more.
For extra peace of mind and convenience, the fleet 780 and fleet
790 utilize a dual-purpose camera to act as personal eyewitness on
the road to record HD footage and to help mitigate risks
encountered on the road, including capturing documentation for
insurance purposes. If the tablet is removed from its mount, fleet
owners can optimize the camera for inventory management, proof of
delivery by easily snapping a picture with the camera, bar code
scanning, and more. In addition, the Garmin fleet series supports
navigation API’s (application program interfaces) and offers
built-in fleet management apps to help develop and fulfill the
needs of fleet owners and telematics service providers around the
world.
Each device in the fleet 700 series features a 7-inch capacitive
touch display and boasts industrial-grade hardware specifically
tailored for long-haul commercial truck use, and a magnetic mount
so drivers can easily remove the tablet to help businesses stay
“on-the-go.” The Garmin fleet 700 series is expected to be
available in December. For more information, visit
