GPS waypoints vs live tracking
Jobber waypoints record location when team members perform certain actions in the app. That is different from a continuous breadcrumb trail. For live vehicle location, Jobber documents separate fleet integrations.
What this is useful for
Waypoint history can help validate job progress and make location-aware dispatch decisions. Live fleet integrations add stronger vehicle visibility for businesses managing trucks.
What to compare
Decide whether you need technician event locations, live employee location, vehicle hardware, geofencing or route optimization. Those are separate requirements even though all are often called GPS tracking.
