What does real-time ETA do?

It calculates the distance and estimated travel time from a vehicle's current position to an address you enter, using live traffic conditions.

How do I use real-time ETA?

1. Select Spectate from the side menu.
2. In the Spectate on box, select the asset you want to dispatch to the address.
3. In the Search Address box, enter the address you want to dispatch the driver to.
4. The distance and estimated travel time to that address are calculated and shown on screen.

In the Follow box, select none to keep the Spectate map still, or leave it following the asset so the map centres on the vehicle and tracks its progress as it travels to the address.

Who uses real-time ETA?

It suits service and dispatch fleets — for example, giving a client an accurate time of arrival, or working out which driver is closest to a job before dispatching them.
