How to Build a Track on Map

Features and options available under the tracks panel

Tracks

The track is a line drawn on the map to show how a vehicle moved during the indicated period. Any number of tracks can be drawn on the map.

Building a Track

To build a track in the Tracks panel, do the following:

1. Select a Vehicle in the dropdown list. Its contents depend on the worklist in the Monitoring panel and access to the vehicles.

2. Adjust the desired parameters for the track (color, thickness, etc.).

3. Define the time interval within which you want to get the track.

4. After filling in all the fields, press Show Track.

The third and fourth steps can be combined into one if you use one of the quick intervals (the buttons Today, Yesterday, Week, and Month).

Alternative methods to build a track on the map are:

• In the Monitoring panel with the help of quick track buttons.

• In the Reports panel, if the appropriate option is selected in the report template.

Track Parameters

After you have built a track, it is impossible to change its parameters (time, vehicle, color, annotations). In case of error, delete the incorrect track and create a new one.

Track Color

There are four mutually exclusive color settings for the track: By trips, By Speed, By sensor and Single. If the setting is not specified, the By trips option is selected by default in the track panel.

Track Line Thickness

Indicate the thickness of the track in pixels (from 1 to 15). A track can be represented as unconnected points. If you need this option, select the Points only option.

Points only view

Markers

You can enable markers to highlight the places of significant events on the track. The choice of possible markers is the same as in reports:

• fuel thefts,
• numbering,
• grouping.
• speeding,
• fuel fillings,
• events (if a violation took place, the marker is red),
• pictures from messages,
• video from messages,
• parking places,
• short stops,
• initial & final position.

Select the markers before building a track. To activate a marker, just click on its icon to make it colorful.

Different annotations are enabled in the above track

Annotations

Indicate whether you want annotations to be displayed. Annotations are hints which are attached to each point of the track to show the date and time when the message was received, as well as the speed of the movement of the vehicle at that time.

Trip Detector

Trip detector checkbox affects the distance value and track visualization. For example, in the places of stops and parkings not a conglomeration of points will be displayed, but just one, and the mileage will include only the intervals detected as trips.

Also, this option allows you to view the trips made within the track. Press the + to the left of the track to expand the list of its trips.

The Track Player tool works for the whole track.
