Tracking Page

Tracking Page

The Tracking page is where you can see your items (vehicles, assets, individuals) on a map. The icons indicate the last reported location of each item. You can search for old routes, check the status (ignition on/off, idling, or moving) of an item, view alerts, plus much more.

You can click on the icon to view information about that item, such as current location, speed, date/time, and daily mileage. The map will automatically refresh every 2 minutes to display the most current location. The refresh rate can be changed if necessary.
