Customer sites provides an API functionality that allows you to embed the HTML for a map with specific vehicle groups and/or landmarks on your own web server for visibility outside of the portal. Additionally, a KML flat file is provided via link for external integrations (e.g., ArcGIS). This feature allows your customers to view limited information about your vehicle locations without requiring the viewers to log in.
In order to use Customer Sites, you must have the Customer Sites item enabled in the Menu Access List (Custom category).
Example
Company XYZ wants to post vehicle locations for their delivery vehicles on their public website so their customers can see when a delivery truck is in their zone.
