Navigation and
Messaging Platform
The
Logic IO Navigation and Messaging Platform
(NMP) is a powerful and open platform for
implementation of state-of the-art advanced fleet
management applications integrating navigation, messaging,
driver identification and job dispatch capabilities.
The NMP
platform works on almost any Microsoft Windows CE 5.0
based device and is based on the market leading
Sygic navigation engine
tightly integrated into the powerful RTCU concept.
The Logic IO Navigation and Messaging Platform
(NMP) is fully backward compatible with already developed RTCU
applications utilizing the Garmin FMI
interface but extends the functionality to a new level of power
and flexibility. A number of user defined on-screen keys can be
defined and controlled in almost any way and additionally the
Mobile Data Terminal (MDT-200) API is fully
supported, thus opening up for a new level of customized user
interaction.
The key features of the Navigation and
Messaging Platform:
- Based
on
Sygic navigation engine
under Microsoft Windows CE 5.0 (or later).
-
Versatile
range of devices supported (large screens, ruggedized, etc).
- Fully
compatible with the Garmin FMI level 2 API.
-
Fully
compatible with the Mobile Data Terminal API.

To connect
the RTCU unit to the NMP device, a special
interface box/cable is required. It is also possible to connect the
NMP device to the RTCU IDE Simulator,
thus allowing
rapid development of
complete fleet management and messaging applications within the RTCU IDE
environment.
For detailed information
about the NMP interface, please
consult the RTCU IDE
on-line help or
manual.
