Fleet Operations

Navigation that works where the network doesn't.

Fleet vehicles spend a lot of time at the network edge. Farun GPS Navigator keeps routing, search, and positioning fully on-device so drivers don't lose guidance when coverage disappears.

The Problem

Where cloud-first navigation becomes a liability.

Most navigation tools for fleet vehicles are built around the assumption of a reliable data connection. Fleet vehicles spend a significant portion of their operating time where that assumption breaks down.

Coverage Drops at the Worst Moment

Route context and turn-by-turn guidance fail exactly where networks end. i.e., rural corridors, border crossings, worksites, and ports. Cloud navigation apps go blank when they're needed most.

Cloud Navigation Assumes Connectivity

Most fleet navigation tools are built for connected environments. When the signal drops, drivers are on their own. There is no offline fallback, no local routing, no POI context.

Consumer Devices Aren't Built for Field Use

Phone-based GPS drains batteries, loses mount stability, and isn't rated for dust, heat, or water exposure. Consumer units aren't built for harsh operating conditions.

Separate Hardware for Road and Marine

Fleet operators who move between land and water need two devices, a road GPS for the vehicle and a chart plotter for the vessel. That's two procurement lines, two maintenance schedules, two learning curves.

Device Capabilities

What the GPS Navigator does for fleet vehicles.

The GPS Navigator is a standalone device. It doesn't require a phone, a SIM card, a cloud subscription, or any external infrastructure to navigate. Every capability below runs entirely on-device.

Offline Navigation

Routes that survive the network edge.

Farun calculates routes on-device from locally stored vector maps. Rerouting, POI search, and turn-by-turn guidance remain available regardless of signal. Drivers don't slow down when coverage disappears, the device has everything it needs on-board.

Covers roads, tracks and terrain context - no cloud request, no buffering.

GNSS Positioning

Independent satellite positioning for every vehicle.

Each GPS Navigator has its own dedicated GNSS receiver - GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo. The device knows its position, heading, and speed entirely independently of mobile networks, WiFi, or any external infrastructure.

Sub-metre accuracy in open sky. Heading, speed, and fix quality on-screen at all times.

Marine Mode

One device for road and water.

Fleet operators who tow boats, run harbour logistics, or work across waterways don't need a second device. The GPS Navigator lets you seamlessly switch to marine mode when the device is mounted on the helm. Switch back to road navigation when you're back on land.

Nautical chart layers, waypoint planning, and coastal awareness built in.

Rugged Hardware

Built for the operating conditions your current device isn't.

The GPS Navigator is hardwired to the vehicle's 5V supply, and mounted with a dedicated bracket rather than a suction cup. It runs continuously without a battery to manage, without a phone screen to share, and without heat-related shutdowns.

5V hardwired. Dash and marine helm mounting.

For Developers

Building fleet software on top?

The Farun location APIs are a separate product for developers building dispatch tools, driver apps, fleet dashboards, and routing engines. They're not required to use the GPS Navigator hardware, but they're built on the same spatial dataset.

If you're a software team building on top of Farun's APIs, start with the API hub.

Without Farun

  • Drivers navigate blind when cloud routing drops at the rural edge
  • No offline fallback, the app shows a blank screen beyond network coverage
  • Consumer GPS devices can't be hardwired, aren't rated for field conditions, and heat-throttle under continuous use
  • Road navigation and marine chart plotting require two separate devices
  • Turn-by-turn guidance disappears in tunnels, canyons, and low-signal industrial areas

With Farun GPS Navigator

  • Full routing, rerouting, and POI search available on-device at all times - signal or not
  • All map data stored locally - nothing to download, nothing to buffer
  • Hardware hardwired to 5V supply - runs continuously without battery management
  • One device handles road and marine navigation - unmount from the dash, clip to the helm
  • Guidance continues through dead zones, underground, and in low-signal industrial areas
