We are extremely proud to announce full integration with Garmin Navigation devices supporting advanced fleet management, messaging and navigation applications.

The Garmin Fleet Management / Navigation support will enable fleet tracking, messaging, dispatch and navigation directly on Garmin’s portable navigation devices. Fleet dispatchers can 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. Automatic estimated time of arrival (ETA) can be sent back to the fleet dispatcher for timely information and reduced operating costs.

Supporting the Garmin Fleet Management / Navigation Interface is an exciting addition to the advanced features on the MX2i Series allowing implementation of a broad range of new applications, where a connected navigation solution is essential.

The practical spin-offs of this exciting announcement is a new firmware release for the MX2i Series, and a new RTCU IDE with full support for the new Fleet Management / Navigation Features!

Additionally we are also releasing updated firmware for the DX4 Pro, a new version of the RTCUProg and a new version of the RTCU Communication Support Package.

Best regards,

The Logic IO Team

RTCUProg V6.20

Stand-alone tool for transferring projects/applications and firmware to all RTCU units.
Support for encrypted programs for programming of the RTCU MICRO units.
Connection to an unit can be done via cable, CSD (Data call) or through the GPRS Gateway.

Version 6.20 includes support for the new DX4 Series and now uses the latest RTCU Communication Support Package (RCSP) V1.15 (see below).

Please download this new version from www.logicio.com

Complete Communication Support Package (RTCU CSP) for communication with RTCU units using cable, modem (CSD) or the GPRS Gateway.

The package includes full support for background update of application / firmware over cable, CSD (Data call) or GPRS (FOTA). During the upgrade the application in the unit continues to run. Interrupted upgrade attempts can be resumed at the point of interruption.

There is full Multi-session support allowing connection with multiple RTCU units simultaneous via a combination of Cable, CSD (data call) or GPRS Gateway. This effectively means, that for example on one session an upgrade over GPRS of an unit can occur, and at the same time on another session the datalogger can be retrieved over a CSD connection.

Full support for Encrypted communication (with user defined key) and compression using the GPRS Gateway Professional.

The functionality included in the package is extremely comprehensive and well tested as this package is actually used in all Logic IO products including the RTCU IDE and RTCUProg programs.

The package includes a small sample program and the source code for the complete RTCUProg programming tool version 6.20 (see also above).
Sample programs is developed in Microsoft Visual Studio C/C++ 2005.

Package includes a DLL library and very comprehensive documentation, that can also be read here.

V1.15 includes support for the RTCU DX4 Pro and fixes a few minor issues.
