once. “Show Traffic” will show traffic flow and congestion 
levels  over  major  interstates  and  highways.  Measured 
areas will be highlighted in green for normal traffic flow. 
Areas experiencing moderate slow-downs in traffic flow 
will be highlighted in yellow, and areas with major traffic 
snarls will be highlighted in red. Areas highlighted in black 
indicate  complete  blockages  and  traffic  at  an  absolute 
standstill. By default, your login will show ALL the devices 
associated with your account – up to a maximum of 512 
units on screen at once.

In viewing all vehicles, you manually control the area of 
the map you wish to view by using the zoom and pan 
features to move the map within the view port. Clicking 
the Map View button will show a simple view of the map. 
Satellite will show satellite imagery. Hybrid combines the 
most  useful  features  of  both  Map  and  Satellite  views, 
superimposing  street  lines  and  names  over  the  top  of 
the Satellite imagery. The N, S, E or W setting allows you 
to select between four different angles to view Birds’ Eye 
imagery for a better indication of surrounding terrain.

In  order  to  select  an  individual  vehicle,  you  may 
select  the  “Vehicles”  tab  from  the  control  panel, 
and  select  a  specific  vehicle  from  the  dropdown  list.

 

Selecting a single vehicle from the dropdown list on the 
VEHICLES tab enables you to turn all other markers off, 
enabling quick isolation of the target from among a large 
fleet of vehicles. This feature is often used in conjunction 
with the “center map” checkbox on the map control to 
“follow”  a  vehicle  wherever  it  goes.  Individual  vehicle 
selection is also used to specify which specific vehicle to 
replay under the historical playback control. Specifying a 
single vehicle to track has implications under a number 
of different controls. Check each section of the manual 

for  the  impact  of  individual  vehicle  selection  on  each 
function. 

 

Currently there are 20 different report options available. 
More reports are being added regularly. There are two 
types of reports – online reports which appear onscreen, 
and  offline  (Excel)  reports  which  are  emailed  to  the 
address you specify. Some reports - such as the vehicle 
mileage by state report or vehicle operating report – are 
available only via email largely due to the time required 
to generate the report.

Another  major  difference  between  online  reports  and 
offline reports is the fact that an online report is typically 
run for a single vehicle for a single day. Offline reports 
can be run for ALL your vehicles for a period of several 
months. 

Note: 

When you request an offline report for 

multiple vehicles, bear in mind the ramifications of your 
request. An Excel spreadsheet only supports a maximum 
of 65,535 rows. If you have more data over a period of 
several months than can fit in 65,535 rows, the report 
will be truncated at row 65535. When a report is selected 
from  the  Reports  control,  a  semi-transparent  overlay 
appears  on  the  map.  Note  that  the  device  markers 
continue  to  move,  always  reflecting  their  locations  on 
the map beneath. On this reports overlay, you may select 
the  specific  parameters  used  for  the  selected  report. 
When  reading  a  report,  you  will  typically  see  a  series 
of  dates/timestamps,  along  with  the  physical  address 
(or lat/lon, if the vehicle is continuing on a more-or-less 
straight course), as well as vehicle speed and heading. 
Headings are expressed in the range of 0 – 359, indicating 
thedirection  in  which  the  vehicle  is  pointing.  Zero  is 
north; the value increments clockwise. Reports may be 
highlighted and copied/pasted into Excel spreadsheets.
