Publish

The Publish enables you to display a chosen view of your vehicle application and share it with a single URL without the need for authentication.

This lets you do things like share a live view of your fleet for a corporate website, a city services site, or a blog. For example, you can show customers where your vehicles are, or share the live location of snowplows to citizens during a winter weather event.
