Hello, shve,
Some of our clients use those coordinates by communicating them to the drivers, in order to help the driver reach a certain destination. Unfortunately some onboard navigational devices only support Degrees Minutes Seconds as the input format. So the current best option (Degrees Minutes) is unfortunately useless to them. Adding another option to the list would fix this problem.
Best regards,
Hello,
In the user settings, in the Maps tab, it is currently possible to only choose between "Degrees" and "Degrees and Minutes", for the Format of coordinates.
The coordinates under the mouse cursor are very useful to some of our clients, but they need them to be in "Degrees, Minutes and Seconds". Can this be implemented and added as another option for the Format of coordinates?
Thank you.
Pavel Bushuyeu Our customers use sites like http://www.htg-express.com/vehiculos-proveedor/?lang=en and others, where they get connected with people that need delivery services. Sometimes, when they don't have the necessary vehicles, they hire another company, we add the vehicles of those companies to Wialon, and our customers give out temporary links to those companies (they don't allow us to give them access to Wialon). The site above, is used to update the position of the vehicle, so that HTG Express can know where the vehicle is situated. Our customers have to manually copy the coordinates in the HTG Express system. They can copy the coordinates directly from Wialon, but the companies they hire only have access to the Locator link, and they can't copy the coordinates, because they don't have access to them inside of the Locator link.
This copy action needs to be easy to do, because they need to update the position many times a day.
Hope this is not very confusing 
If there is more information necessary, I will gladly provide what I can.
Hi Pavel Bushuyeu
That's great news about the coordinates. Our clients will be very happy.
About the unit list, I can see that I can enter a simple space in the Sensor Mask location, and it works. But I think it would be a better user experience if that would not be necessary. If you think about it, the list of units together with their address (and coordinates) is not necessarily connected with the device sensors.
This is not a big problem at the moment. It is more of an inconvenience. It would just be nice if in a future update this improvement can be implemented.
Thank you.
Hello,
I have a couple of enhancement ideas:
1) Add the coordinates of the unit under the address, or in a place where they are easy to be copied. Our customers need to copy the exact position of the unit. Addresses do not give the exact position. Users of the locator link, copy the coordinates in different other software programs (registering the position of the unit on different transportation websites), and they do this many times, and they need the process to be very fast. So a simple 44.8496369 24.8473487 (latitude & longitude on the same line) under the address would be great. I have attached a concept image.
2) Show the list of units on the left, even if no sensor mask is added.
Thanks.
tata, that is wonderful news, thank you very much. I will check it out.
tata, that is wonderful news. It will be greatly appreciated by our customers.
Any idea about the timeframe of this update? It would be nice to tell our customers when to expect these new options.
Thank you.
Hello,
This is my first time posting here. I've just recently started working with Wialon, and it is a great system. I was checking out the Google Maps integration, and there are a few things missing in the Wialon routing module, that are already provided by the Google Maps API.
Here is a link to the API reference: https://developers.google.com/maps/docu … onsRequest
There are a few properties on the DirectionsRequest object used in the route method in the API. The avoidHighways property is already used inside Wialon, but the rest of the properties are also very useful. A couple of very important ones are the avoidTolls and the avoidFerries, which are very important for our clients, because they reduce costs.
Also, at the moment optimizing of point order is only possible through Gurtam Maps, but this feature is also available through the Google Maps API, using the property optimizeWaypoints.
If the first two (avoidTolls & avoidFerries) could be implemented, it would be wonderful, since these are the most important and are used constantly when our customers want to reduce costs.
Thank you.
