On the left side of the map screen you will find a Control 
Panel,  providing  tabs  for  Authorization,  Map  Control, 
Vehicles,  Reports,  Alert  System,  Search,  Directions  and 
Routing,  Address  Markers,  Live  Support,  and  Historical 
Playback.  Clicking  on  any  of  these  tabs  will  provide 
access to each group of functions. This control panel is 
the key to all functions and features of the web-based 
tracking system. Through it the system provides access 
to reports, alerts, live support, 90-day historical playback 
and  an  unending  array  of  other  features  –  with  more 
new features constantly being added.

 

You may select the “Map Control” tab from the control 
panel to the left, and the map control panel will open, 
providing controls to zoom, pan, and set map rendering 
options. The XtremeTrakGPS system relies on Microsoft 
Virtual Earth Maps to provide mapping of the coverage 

area. In larger metro areas, high-resolution aerial images 
(also known as Bird’s Eye images) are available; in more 
rural areas, even Hybrid view may not provide the same 
level of detail as larger metro areas.

If you live in a rural area, you may find it more useful to 
select “Map View” in lieu of Hybrid or Bird’s Eye view.

When  fully  zoomed,  the  maps  provide  detailed  street-
level information, enabling you to see the precise location 
from which your XT-300 tracking device is transmitting. 
When zoomed out completely, you have a complete view 
of the world. If you have only one device, the “Center 
Map”  checkbox  will  automatically  center  the  map  on 
that unit. If you have multiple devices, “Center Map” will 
position the center of the group of devices at the center 
of the browser. If you select a single vehicle (under the 
vehicles  tab),  the  “Center  Map”  checkbox  will  tell  the 
system  to  center  on  the  selected  vehicle.  “Optimize 
Zoom” will zoom as closely as possible while still keeping 
the device or group of devices on the viewable map at
