HOW TO

General Information

Travel route incorrectly displayed and looks like a mess of lines, how to solve this?

It might be caused by incorrect time zone settings.

All GPS devices must send data in 0 UTC timezone (except mobile devices using GPS Tracker application).

  • Set 0 UTC timezone on GPS device side (see GPS device manual).

  • Set 0 UTC timezone in GPS device accuracy settings.

  • Set correct timezone in User interface.

  • Clear object history.

Why I see straight lines in the route?

Straight line means that in particular point device was offline. During offline period, coordinates were not saved, due to data loss, you will see straight line from point where signal was lost till next point were connection was established again.

Example:

Sudden jumps appear in route, why it happens?

It is caused by weak GPS signal. Make sure that device GPS antenna has good reception.

Example of how those jumps might look:

Getting incorrect fuel level readings

Problem

The fuel level provided in GPS-server software does not match the real fuel level in the tank.

../_images/fuel_graph.jpg

Causes

This issue is caused by fuel movement in the tank. If in object setting “Detect stops using” is set to GPS when the object stops fuel can move by inertia inside the gas tank causing incorrect Fuel level readings which may cause wrong fuel level data.

Solution

To fix this issue you need in Object settings->Accuracy tab set "Detect stops using" to ACC. This will provide you more accurate fuel consumption data.

How to create Zone inside of the Zone

In scenarios where a zone is required within another zone, e.g. a city's zone must be within the region or country zone. A zone cannot be drawn over another zone, to achieve the desired result the region or country should be drawn around the city zone.
