    Help

    Overview
    This utility helps you import route plans to your account using comma separated values (CSV).

    Work flow
    Route plans in MyGeotab can be thought of as waypoints through a sequence of zones combined with a vehicle (which will drive the route) and some optional information about when that vehicle should depart from and make it to each waypoint. The input provided is parsed and if the specified device and all zone waypoints exist, a new route is saved to your account. Note that a route needs a minimum of two waypoints.
