Updated APK Versions

CoPilot

We continue working to enrich your experience with the application.
This version includes two important functionalities, AMS authentication and Map Upgrades. 
Look at these important considerations:

• Both Drive and CoPilot apps should be upgraded to the 6.5 release.
• The Customer should have a Fleet portal account for mobile app licensing to work.
• Before launching Copilot app, Mobile Device ID needs to be configured as Asset under Account Manager in Trimble Fleet Portal (To do this please see the “Steps to add a Mobile Device ID asset in Trimble Fleet Portal”  section).
• Until 6.4, CoPilot app will work even when it is not registered in Fleet portal, because the device will be auto-added to the Trimble Fleet portal bucket account. This will not be the case in 6.5 and going forward.
• Vehicle ID needs to be configured in Trimble Fleet Portal for functionalities like route reporter, routing profile, and route modifiers to work (To do this please see the “Steps to add a Vehicle ID in Trimble Fleet Portal”  section).
• Vehicle Group must exist to be able to associate additional functionalities like route reporter, routing profile, and route modifiers (To do this please see the “Steps to add a Vehicle Group in Trimble Fleet Portal”  section).
• Vehicle Group and Vehicle IDs must be associated in Trimble Fleet Portal for route reporter, routing profile, and route modifiers to work (To do this please see the “Steps to associate Vehicle ID to Vehicle Group in Trimble Fleet portal”  section).
• CoPilot will display the following message when the same license is used on another device: Shutting down CoPilot due to expired or invalid licenses. Please contact your fleet admin. 
• In Fleet Portal the naming convention of Vehicle ID and Mobile Device ID had some changes, now the Vehicle ID format is <rnavehicleid>-<rnacustomerid>-<environment> and the Mobile Device ID format is <mobileid>/<environment>.
• Vehicle IDs and Mobile Device Assets IDs must be unique to work.
• It is highly recommended to follow the same vehicle group/equipment type between OT1 and Trimble FP.
• Android mobile devices need to have connectivity at least once a week, for CoPilot mobile app licensing to work.
• Need regular Wi-Fi connection to download or upgrade the maps. Map download or upgrade is not supported through the AMG-C or Relay connection.
• When launching the applications please wait until the initialization is completed.
• CoPilot navigation settings are based on the truck type configured. 
• In the Local.ini file, CoPilot saves the current AMS configuration information under the License section: deviceid, environment, status, tenantid, and type of auth.
• The CPIK library was updated to support special characters.
• The following Setting Options can now be remotely configured in the Command Portal under the CoPilot navigation Routing Options:
  • Allow International Borders (For all truck types)
  • Routing Type: Fastest (For all truck types)
• The Display Truck Restriction value set in Command is now honored and retrieved by the CoPilot app. 
• To improve Customer Support, the logs now save the destination address and coordinates of received Drive Stops.
• CoPilot maps will now be updated quarterly. 
• The map version will be auto updated to the latest version in the background.
• CoPilot will display the following message when Wi-Fi is needed to upgrade maps: Need Wi-Fi connection to upgrade maps.  
• The Android notification menu displays the progress status bar for the map upgrade process.

Drive/Command

• Modified the grid view, list view, and map popup context to display the Workflow Stop Type.
• The RNA Dispatch record for Unplanned Stop Types will default to Generic, but can also be recorded as Generic, Break, or Layover.

• When files are attached to dispatch to a driver message in RNA, the files are now sent to MilesAhead with the message to be downloaded by devices.

• Redeliver functionality modified to be simpler for the user with dropdown choices for desired actions
• Unplanned Stops captured in Drive are now reflected in Fleetview..

• Single Sign On integration support for Supervision CSA Performer.
• Add "Hide Cancelled Stops" option to My Day Planner.

Driver Vehicle Inspection Report (DVIR)

The driver is not required to complete a Driver Vehicle Inspection Report to activate equipment on Hours of Service (HOS) logs for customers who do not have DVIR as a mandatory requirement of a load.

Hook Trailer Data

The Hook Trailer Task auto populates the trailer data for the driver, so that the driver does not need to enter it manually.
