You might need to find fleet vehicles that are near an asset — for example, if a truck is in an accident and you need a close-by vehicle to go pick up the driver and their cargo. To find a nearby asset on the Tracking Beta Screen, follow these steps:
- Track the asset you want to search near as shown in Tracking Your Assets on the Tracking Beta Screen.
- In the asset list or asset grid, click the asset's name to view its details pane.
Note: Alternatively, you could click its icon on the map, click the Find Nearby icon in its asset pop-up window, and skip down to step 4. - Click the Find Nearby icon (
) in the Asset Details pane.
The Find Nearby dialog box will appear on the map, and the search distance (by default within 10 miles of the original asset) will be displayed on the map as a circle filled with diagonal lines so that you can visualize the area.
- To change the distance from the asset you'd like to search for other vehicles, click and drag the handle on the slider (
) — to the right to increase the value or to the left to decrease it.
- Click Find.
All nearby fleet assets that are within your search range will be displayed on the map, and their names will be listed in the Find Nearby dialog box.
Caution: iOn might return "No Assets Found" at first, but give it a couple seconds, and results will be displayed (if available in the radius you selected).
The assets will be listed with the closest on top, and the distance from each vehicle to the original asset will be in the Dist column.
- You can click one of the vehicles in the list to have the map focus on it.
Then you can click its directional marker on the map to pull up its Asset Details pane.
Note: You can get directions from your current location to an asset by following the steps in Navigating from Your Current Location to an Asset on the Tracking Beta Screen.
