Cloud (VMMAP) based data logging 

To use the VMMAP datalogging facility an account needs to be set up and each locator needs to be registered with Vivax-Metrotech VMMAP 
mapping application. For further information on this contact Vivax-Metrotech Corp. This User Guide assumes the locator is registered and 
the operator has an active account. 

When registered the locator will send updates to VMMAP whenever the user logs data 
as long as there is data cellular connection. You can check the data connectivity on the 
status bar. If there is only signal strength bars without any letters, there is no data 
connection i.e.: 

It is possible to check the status of the data log by entering the User setup by using a long press on the Information key. 
Providing there is cellular data connectivity, the screen below should be available from the Menu. 

This screen becomes available from main the menu once cellular module has been found 

Initially it will show “Cloud status” “No Network”

Once a cellular network data connection has been made it will 

show “Cloud status” “Waiting”

The progress bar shows the progress in sending vLoc3 logs on the SD card to the VXMT VMMP Cloud, in this case it is 100% complete. 

On a line under the progress bar any HTTP error codes reported by the VXMT VMMAP Cloud server will be displayed 

The five lines starting “>” at the bottom of the screen show the AT commands these are used to aid debugging and should be ig

nored.
