Import and Export Options

These reports allow you to import your favourite places (e.g., home, office, clients). Instead of addresses, user-defined names will be displayed directly.

MapExplorer offers the option to export reports to various logistics systems, fleet management software, Excel, Google Maps, and other formats. This facilitates further analysis and management of the data.
