Known Issues - Hours of Service

The following are issues drivers may encounter as they use the IVG.

Omnitracs CoPilot® Truck™ Navigation

Occasionally, drivers may notice that routes generated by ALK navigation are longer than anticipated. There is no workaround.

Workflow

Updated hours do not display correctly on 14- and 70-hour clocks. The Workflow icon does not correctly displays when it’s enabled on the IVG. Drivers are prevented from launching Workflow or navigation after stopping for the night.

Web Browser

In some instances, terrestrial web browsing is slow. There is no workaround. Navigation is briefly visible while the web browser is launching. The web browser gets stuck on the “Please Wait” message. MP4 videos does not display with the correct aspect ratio. Scroll bars do not display on all web pages that need them. When drivers attempt to view videos full screen, the OS popup overlays the video.

Weigh Station Bypass

In some instances, the Spanish version of Weigh Station Bypass is not providing appropriate messages to drivers. There is no workaround.

User Interface

During beta testing, the IVG occasionally did not recognize screen touches.

TMM

The date does not display in the correct format when the IVG is in French.

Printing

Pages are not printing correctly in both portrait and landscape orientation.

Omnitracs Navigation

Dispatched trips override the current active route.

Omnitracs NaviGo™ Navigation powered by Telogis

The menu is not available to both drivers when team driving. The interface freezes or loads slowly. The application intermittently fails to launch.

Localization

The French installation of Weigh Station Bypass shows as Off after an installation. The IVG stops communicating after the language is switched to Spanish or French.

Driver Login

The time field is not displaying the correct format for the Spanish login screen.
