Read the map: online, stopped, offline and "last updated"
Each tracker's card and marker tell you whether it's connected, whether it's moving and how long it has been where it is.
Steps
- Choose the trackers to show. On a computer, tick them in the Active Devices list. On a phone, choose them under Select Devices in the pull-up sheet.
- Read the status. Online (green) means the tracker is connected; Offline (red) means it isn't. Reconnecting… means it has only just dropped out.
- Read the speed. Stopped means the vehicle isn't moving; otherwise you see its speed, for example 31 mph.
- Read Last update: how long the tracker has been at the position shown. While the vehicle moves it stays low; once it parks, it counts how long it has been parked.
- Click the tracker's marker for its details. Recorded is the date and time of the latest position. Click the marker again for the street address.
- If a tracker is offline, its card says why, for example Connected, but has not reported in time or Not connected to the tracking server.
Good to know
- The tracker sends no positions while it's still. An Online tracker with a long Last update is a parked vehicle, not a lost signal.
- The card also shows Battery and Signal, for example 3/4.
- Markers are green when online and red when offline, unless you pick your own color on the card.
- In the iPhone and Android apps, Last Update is a running time such as 3m 12s, and Show address in Location gives the street address.
