Onboard Player's essential functionality is GPS-based triggering. Multiple routes or vehicles, directional triggers, and integrated audio players are all optional, and can be turned on or off as required for your project.

Advanced GPS Triggering

256 Triggers

Manage up to 256 regions or points of interest.

16 Routes

Group Triggers together using up to 16 Routes.

GPS Logging

Record GPS activity automatically for later use.

Radius Triggers

Define a circular region based on distance from a single given point.

Polygonal Regions

Precisely define a a geographic region based on a series of points.

Release Distance

Prevents undesired double-triggering by creating a buffer around a trigger region, which the GPS receiver must exit before the trigger is reset.

+Heading Triggers

Add directional context to your GPS Triggers. GPS Triggers can be fired selectively based on the direction of travel.

Built-in Audio Player

There's no need to connect a separate audio player for the most common playback tasks. Add your audio file directly to the corresponding GPS Trigger.
