Remote configuration
When you roll out PTV Navigator G2 to many devices, you don't want to set up each one by hand. With remote configuration, you define settings once, and they are applied automatically right after the driver logs in. Settings are applied only once, directly after the login.
Available from PTV Navigator G2 version 1.1
You can configure devices remotely in three ways: quick configuration, JSON upload, and vehicle profiles.
Quick configuration
For the most common settings, use the quick configuration form. No file is needed. You can set:
- Language
- Connection mode
- Skip intro screen
- Show app updates
- Allow app updates over mobile data
- Allow logout
- Request device description
- Allow editing of the device description
- Activate safety warner
JSON upload
For anything beyond quick configuration, upload a preferences file (preferences_import.json). It can contain any setting listed in Preferences, for example to enable the Push Service for Push route.
You don't need to write the file by hand. Create it with the Preferences Generator, then upload it here.
Available in paid plans
Vehicle profiles
Vehicle profiles describe the vehicle the driver is navigating, for example a 7.5 t or a 40 t truck. Instead of creating them on each device, you can upload them once per license key. They are then synchronized to the devices automatically.
- Create the profile with the Vehicle Profile Generator and save it as a JSON file.
- Open the license key, go to the Vehicle profiles tab, and select Upload JSON file.
You can upload up to 10 vehicle profiles per license key. Uploaded profiles can be downloaded or deleted again from the same tab.
Automatic synchronization available from PTV Navigator G2 version 1.6
