Taxi Driver Online

I know of a few firms that have the Evocab system in their office, but has any firm got the new data heads yet?

In other words, does the system do what they say it does?

The official line a few days ago was that they were being 'beta tested' and will be released in a few weeks.

That is what they sat 6 months ago.

having evocab fitted today but to thre drivers it dont look any different.
and it us that will fit the bill.
not got the new screens but the fitters say they are just like ipacs in a big box.
one even said that in a year or so time they will offer tyhe ipac alternative.
i wonder how many are going to buy the big ugly ones when you can have the slim cheapo ones.

It might just be an XDA in a big box but it is also and XDA with a small screen, set out landscape style not portrait, a layout that won't work for turn by turn navigation on a small screen.

Appears to have cost many hundreds of thousands to develop and is still yet to be operational.

So looks like Auriga three years ago looked at the 'new taxi world' and decided it still involved the communications of the last century Private Mobil eRadio. It was always going to make that decision because it is owned by Tait Radio.

The rumours now appear to be saying that the product is obsolete before it hits the market. How long will Auriga hold back these big fleet companies telling them to wait for the new technology whilst big overseas competitors come into the market and smaller more nimble british competition emerge with the technology they want?

If it goes in today it will be good timing. In three weeks time, after crash after crash, your company will issue Auriga a warning to sort it out or it will be thrown away and only then will Auriga send in four engineers and finally sort out the bugs.

That seems to be the standard proceedure so far.

Most of the up-to-date PDA phones (e.g. XDA-IIi) now feature an "orientation switch" to put the device into landscape mode.

they carried on fitting the cars out today.
well that is until they ran out of parts.
clueless bloody clueless.

had this system for a number of days now.
not impressed as yet.
,loads of bugs loads of downtime.
thank goodness the ranks have been busy.

asnyone out their dont ever buy evocab.
unless you want to lose work.
it sends cars to the wrong direct lines.
if the call back doesnt work it says knock on the door.
how the f*** do you get a person in a busy pub. which door do you knock on.
very very slow. not good.
designed by idiots to be bought by idiots.

its not the newest system why after 3 weeks from fitting in v cars swindon does it still crash constantly losing owner drivers money forcing them to leave in droves

somedrivers will leave our firm.
not sure where they will go because all bar one is going to get it.
i think when it up its good for the office.
but not for the drivers.

still no going well.
today we had loads of work but the systemn wouldnt give it out.
drivers were booking on and it wasnt showing on the system.
went back to voice.
all that money and we have gone back 10 years.

Hi
Sorry to hear that your still having these problems. Why are Auriga not on-site too sort these issues out?

regards

well you would have thought that when someone pays six figuers for something that could at least make sure it working.
still im told its progress.

it is so slow.

Slow.

That'll be your fault then.
