Navigate only based on optimized routes

[kclee]

Hi,

We need Navigator for ArcGIS to direct drivers based on optimized routes and would also need dynamic routing back to the optimized route if they deviate.

The optimized routes (feature layers) will be generated in ArcMap using Network Analyst Extension.

Is it possible to guide the drivers based on the optimized routes in Navigator, and if they deviate from the optimized route, would Navigator be able to route them back to the optimized routes?

Thanks in advance.

Yes,  Navigator has an option for Navigating by optimized route in it's settings (by default it is off).  Navigator will also automatically re-calculate a route when a driver deviates from the current route.  ... and yes you can create a Navigator map from your current Network Analyst data.  For information on how to do that, see this help topic Prepare maps—Navigator for ArcGIS | ArcGIS

Hi,

How about pre-defined route for a newspaper delivery created in ArcMap? Eg. I want to be able to navigate the driver from street a to street b to street c, even if the navigator knows that travelling from street a to street c to street b is more optimized. Thanks in advanced!

We do plan to add the ability to share routes on the platform with named users who are using Navigator in the field. This is a development initiative which is currently underway but in the very early stages. It will allow one to use the many tools which generate routes on the platform and send these routes to "drivers" in the field. Happy to discuss further requirements. Please email me at bpierce@esri.com thanks.

Hi Brent, are there any news regarding this development? I haven't seen this feature in the current release.

Best regards,
