Transfinder Releases Free All-In-One, In-Vehicle Wayfinder App

Schenectady, NY, June 19, 2018 --(PR.com)-- Transfinder Corporation released its free all-in-one
in-vehicle app Wayfinder to clients with Transfinder's flagship Routefinder Pro product.

The Wayfinder app allows users to build routes on either smart devices they already own or devices that
are pre-installed on vehicles. The app is compliant with state laws pertaining to use of smart devices on
moving vehicles. In states where drivers are prohibited from interacting with devices while a vehicle is in
motion, the screen goes dark but turn-by-turn voice guidance is provided.

President and CEO Antonio Civitella described the Wayfinder app as a game-changer not just for
Transfinder clients but for an industry that is in need of faster solutions that provide the safest bus stops
and bus routes and comply with a changing landscape of laws related to smart device usage on vehicles.

“Our clients have been asking for this for some time and we are proud to say that after being field tested
by a select group of clients, Wayfinder is now ready for prime time,” Civitella said. “This is a BYOD
product - Bring Your Own Device.”

Wayfinder works with any iOS or Android smart device and integrates with a district's existing GPS
provider or can utilize the GPS technology embedded in the smart device.

Wayfinder will allow unlimited users to:

- Quickly establish safe bus stops and build routes and upload into Routefinder Pro
- Optimize routes for either shortest distance or shortest time
- Capture new roads, developments or subdivisions
- Track vehicles utilizing Transfinder's Fleetfinder solution
- Receive turn-by-turn voice directions

Civitella said this is the next generation of route building that will completely change the way school bus
routing is done. Districts will be able to build routes in record time with the RouteBuilder technology
included in the Wayfinder app. For example, as a bus travels a route, an aide can tap a button on the
screen that will accurately locate each stop as well as the entire route. Stops can then be added, deleted or
relocated with ease.

“Your routes come alive as your drivers drive,” Civitella said. “It's become our slogan for Wayfinder but
it is absolutely true. It puts these routes in the hands of the transportation department.”

Civitella knew the response would be positive when he gave a sneak peek to clients this spring.

“When I gave some of our clients a preview of this technology at our Annual Client Summit in April, the
crowd burst into applause,” Civitella said. “They know this is what the industry has been wanting for
years.”

Civitella said Wayfinder is being made available for free to clients because it will assist school districts in
building routes faster and more accurately within the Routefinder Pro solution. Use of Wayfinder will
reduce the need for Transfinder's award-winning support services, which will then allow support to
provide service to other clients.

“Since we've made this solution available to clients, orders have poured in like never before in the history
of Transfinder,” Civitella said. “There's no need to explain its value - our clients and the industry get it.”
