What is ContentTools?

ContentTools is a web tool where you can create, manage, and share custom location and routing content for all of your Trimble MAPS solutions. With ContentTools, you can create:

  • Places
    Create your own custom place names and points of interest—from important business locations to rest and fuel stops.

  • Sites
    Create pre-defined areas with site-specific details such as entrances and exits for trucks. For example, a site can be a warehouse, shopping mall, distribution center, a yard, a business park, etc.

  • Road Closures
    Create and visualize closures on specific road links.

  • Route Modifiers
    Create and visualize road links that should be avoided or favored during routing.

The content you create in ContentTools can be shared with PC*MILER, PC*MILER Web Services, Trimble MAPS, CoPilot Truck, and CoPilot Professional. That way, you can ensure consistency among all users of your company’s location data when planning commercial vehicle routes. You can also be sure your data is being stored safely and securely.

ContentTools is available with the purchase of licensed products.
