CalAmp's LMU-4100 provides global positioning satellite (GPS) and wireless asset tracking capabilities in a self-contained telematics unit with GPRS, CDMA and iDEN versions, and an integrated, highly sensitive GPS capability. The integration of the Garmin FMI V2 enables users to connect a Garmin nüvi 2x5, 4x5, 5x5, 5000, 7x5 or 8x5 series product to the LMU-4100 and have an advanced mobile data terminal coupled with a Garmin navigation device. This will allow fleet dispatchers to send multiple destinations and other instructions directly to their drivers. With a tap on the screen, drivers can access detailed turn-by-turn, text-to-speech, voice-prompted directions to their destinations. Canned responses and messages, as well as driver identification and driver status protocol features are also available.

"We are extremely pleased to be a Garmin FMI partner and offer these services to our fleet management customers," said Greg Gower, vice president and general manager of CalAmp's Mobile Resource Management Group. "The combination of the LMU-4100 and the Garmin FMI V2 allows the location of every mobile asset to be pinpointed allowing efficient deployment and operation of vehicles."

"By integrating Garmin's FMI V2 with CalAmp's robust system, fleet operators can substantially increase the productivity of their mobile workforce by downloading daily pickup and delivery stops, tracking the location of their drivers and vehicles, and communicating to the drivers through an intuitive text-based user-interface," said Roger Jollis, Garmin's director of OEM and mobile marketing. "We are very pleased to work with CalAmp and are confident that their customers will value the advantages the Garmin FMI V2 offers."
