How Do You Route Mobile Workers With No Job Street Address

Work sites don’t always have street addresses. Oil and gas rigs, pipelines, new construction sites, cell towers and power transmission facilities are usually located well off the beaten path. The only way to pinpoint their location is using their latitude and longitude coordinates.

Since the 1400’s latitude and longitude have helped mariners find their way across the sea and map makers chart the locations of geological formations, bodies of water and our cities and towns. Today, latitude and longitude coordinates are also used in mobile field service management solutions to help technicians navigate to, and get information about, work to be performed in remote areas. Latitude and longitude, when combined with a mobile field service management solution also enable technicians to access customer information - including local contacts, equipment, equipment repair history for work sites without a street address.

Following is a brief history of the development of latitude and longitude as a method for pinpointing locations as well as an overview of how FieldAware uses latitude and longitude to help mobile field workers perform their jobs faster and more efficiently.
