Trackers

GPS tracker (also GPS controller, tracker) is a device for receiving and transmitting data for satellite monitoring of vehicles, people, or other objects to which it is attached, using GPS to accurately determine the location of the object.

The system is designed to monitor monitoring objects, provide detailed information about objects in real-time mode and in historical data mode for specified periods, and display information about objects on the map.

Interface​

The interface of the Trackers tab consists of two visually separated blocks located side by side - these are the list of user trackers and the map on which active trackers are displayed with markers.

In the tracker table user can see the name of the tracker, the date and time of the tracker's last communication with the server, the speed of the tracker when it last communicated with the server, the color of the tracker marker to be displayed on the map.

Assigning a Geo-Zone​

In order to assign the desired geo-zone to a tracker, you need to click the Assign Geo-Zone button in the table at the desired tracker.

This will open the geozone assignment window. You need to select a geo-zone, and also specify whether you want to track the tracker entering the geo-zone and leaving the geo-zone.

Once all values are set, you need to click the Assign button.

The window provides information about the geo-zones associated with the tracker, tracker tracking settings for each of them (entry/exit), and the date of geo-zone creation.

Map Display Management​

Also in the tracker table, each tracker has some settings for displaying the tracker on the map. They consist of 3 checkboxes:

Checkbox activation order

When the Visible on map checkbox is unchecked, the other checkboxes will be disabled. When the Realtime movement on the map checkbox is unchecked, it is impossible to enable the Tail on the map checkbox. Also, if the tariff for the current tracker is unpaid, all checkboxes except Visible on map will be disabled.

  • The Visible on map checkbox allows you to toggle the display of the tracker marker on the map. With the checkbox enabled, the user can observe the tracker marker on the map, highlighted in the corresponding color:

  • The Realtime movement on the map checkbox allows tracking the movement of the tracker marker on the map in real-time.

  • The Tail on the map checkbox allows tracking the route of the tracker on the map.

Thus, through these 3 checkboxes, the user can manage the display of markers on the map.

Additional map functionality​

Above the map are some control elements:

  • Clear map - clears the map of all routes and markers.
  • Refresh map - Allows you to refresh the positions of all markers manually.
  • Dropdown list for changing map providers. More information about supported providers can be found in the Map section.
