3. Tools and Settings

Tools provide you with 6 practical methods to plan your trip before you go. They are:

Distance, Area, Address, Routing, Hittest and Nearest Units.

Distance Area

To measure the distance between two

points, indicate the initial point by

double clicking on any place of the map.

Double-click on the map to draw an

area. To move a point, drag it until

moving to another place. To delete a

point, double-click it.

Routing Hittest

Double-click on the map to indicate the

departing point. In the same way mark

passing points if needed, and finally put

the ending point. Then press Calculate.

These routes can be saved as geofences.

Hittest is to show messages of points of a

track. Choose a track in the dropdown

list. Double-click at any place of the

track (or even on the map), and the

different colors. Its easy to recognize the units speed so that you can know where

and when the unit over speeds with visual map.

4.4 Geofence

Geofence, or geographical zone, is some indicated area on the map. It can be used

to control unit activity in this area. Geofence can be a polyline, a polygon or circle.

How to Create a Geofence

Press the Create Geofence button, a window pops up for you to enter the data.

Choose geofence type on the left: line, polygon or circle. Then map the geofence.

Usage

While Tracking Online

If a unit is situated in a geofence, unit info will display geofence data.

Routes Control

Line-shaped geofences with control points can be used to control routes.

Notifications

You can be notified by e-mail, SMS, or online when your unit leaves a geofence or

enters a geofence. See Notifications.

There are 12 Notification types: Geofence control, Speed control, Alarm button

trigger, Digital input activation/deactivation, Message parameter control,

Sensor value control, Connection or coordinates loss, Idles, SMS control,

Route control, Driver control, and Routine servicing.


12/17

Geofence control Speed control

Select geofence control type: control

entries to or exits from

geofence(s). Also, you can set trigger

case with speed limitations or sensor

value range inside (outside) geofence.

Define the minimum and/or maximum

speed values. If a unit goes out of this

range, the notification will trigger.

Alarm button trigger Digital input

activation/deactivation

Alarm button notification alerts you

while the indicated trigger is activated.

Specify the number of digital input and

select control type: trigger on input

activation or deactivation.

Message parameter control Sensor value control

Four control types are provided: value

range, text mask, parameter

availability, and parameter lack.

Preset minimum and maximum values,

indicate if you want similar sensors to

be summed or calculated separately.

Connection loss Idles

It can be a simple connection loss which

registers cases when no satellites lock

the unit during a period of time.

Idles control speed and time. You

should indicate Speed more than 0

km/h in and time allowed for staying.

SMS control Route control

You can receive a notification when a

certain SMS message comes.

You can select route statuses to

control: route start, route finish, route

interrupt, arrival to control point,

control point skip, departure from

control point, entrance to geofence, exit

from geofence.

Driver control Routine servicing

This allows you to control deriver

assignment or driver reset.

Select trigger type: notify when

service term approaches or notifywhen service term is expired. Then

indicate the interval.

Notification Text

The text of notification can be written in any language, contain any characters,

words and phrases. Large messages are ideal for e-mail notifications. For SMS

notifications, it is better to form more compact messages.

4.7 Routes Control

Route Control is used to track units which go along the route with control points and

predefined schedule. To monitor how a Route Control with 5 stop points, for

example, is executed, you need to:

1.Create a route based on this geofence (give it a name, assign to needed

unit(s).

2.If route is created by a line-shaped geofence, the control point schedule

should follow the route direction and cannot go reverse direction.

3.Mark 5 control points on map. Move the mouse cursor over the points and

press New control point button to assign the schedule.

4.Monitor how the route is accomplished.

4.8 Units

Route Points Route points are control points indicated when creating a

geofence for a route.

Routes Routes assigned to unit and events were stored in unit
