Clicking "Notifications",  will show any relevant notification our account has received. This depends to the account's personalised settings, and varies from Ignition events and Overspeeding, to Alarms

Clicking Logout  will log you of the account. It is strongly recommended if you are using a shared computer.

On the right side of the screen, the indicated group has the following options.

Here you will find various settings for the data and information we see on the map.

  • Instruments

  Tapping on the right of the map displays instruments where we can see data from various sensors of our vehicle.

To see data in real time, we need to select a vehicle. The type of data depends on the following:

  • Vehicle type
  • Device type (simple, CAN Bus, OBD II)
  • Additional sensors (temperature sensor, smart fuel cap, etc.)

The sensors are divided into 3 sub-menus.

  • Sensor
  • Cold room
  • Weight Gauge

 

The next menu allows us to visually enable/disable parameters suchs as:

  • Activate/deactivate objects 
    Shows/hides all vehicles or vehicle groups on the map.
  • Enable/Disable object labels
    Shows/hides the labels (names) of our vehicles on the map.
  • Activating/deactivating points of interest 
    Shows/hides Points of Interest the user has manually defined.
  • Enable/Disable routes 
    Shows/hides routes the user has manually defined.
  • Activate/deactivate zones 
    Shows/hides zones (geofences)
  • Enable/Disable zone labels 
    Shows/hides zones' names.
  • Enable/Disable groups 
    Enables/disables grouping (vehicles, zones etc.)
  • Enable/Disable Street View 
    Enables/disables Google Street View. Enabling it and clicking on a vehicle, will load the relevant street view, if available.
  • Enable/Disable traffic 
    Enables/disables traffic information. This module can be used only with the following maps.
    • Google Street
    • Google Hybrid
    • Google Terrain
  • Fit objects on map
    The map will be automatically adjusted accordingly. If the account has multiple devices active, the map will zoom in or out depending on the distance between them. This gives a broader view and makes monitoring easier.
  • Ruler 
    By pressing it and selecting at least 2 points on the map, the application will show us the distance between them. In the line that will be formed we will see 3 white squares. One at the beginning and end of the line and one more in the middle. These squares define the distance points and we can drag them wherever we want by holding down the left mouse button on them. As soon as we have finished measuring the distances we want, to stop the measurement function, press the ruler button again. The measurement is in kilometers (Km).
  • Measurement Area 
    Will measure a desired area. Initially we need to chose at least three points, including the starting point. Clicking again on the final point will finalise the measurement. Further clicking will readjust the area accordingly. After the area is finalised, we can fine tune it by using the extra anchor points provided. The area is measured in km2 or hectares (ha)


Finally, at the very end, it's the GPRS LIVE TV  button. Clicking this enables a minimalistic interface which hides the header, the left panel the sensor/chat buttons on the top right side. It also enables rolling messages that show the following information:

  • Fleet average fuel consumption
  • Daily Route length

The blue button is the chat button which will load MIA, the GPRS Virtual assistant. MIA is connected to a knowledge base which is frequently updated and offers configuration guides and answers to most common queries related to the platform itself and the GPS devices.

Devices

Shows a detailed list of the vehicles in your account, and additional information/actions for each of them. If you have multiple vehicles you can search for them via the Search field. Case sensitive.

By tapping the vehicle icon or name, the map is automatically moved to the location of the vehicle. Next to the object is displayed the friendly name (if we have defined), its speed, and whether or not it is moving.

Tapping the vehicle icon on the map displays a pop-up window with information about your vehicle's status. In the Short tab it shows information about:

  • Device(name)
  • Address, Position
  • Altitude
  • Heading
  • Speed
  • Driver
  • Time
  • Odometer
  • as well as extra sensors that depends on the device type (must be activated by Skytrack)

In the Cockpit View tab, we see a preview that shows the roads and surrounding location of your vehicle. By double-clicking on the window, a new tab opens in your browser with the location of your vehicle in Google Street View.

By selecting the Groups sub-tab you can see if the Devices belong to a group (Devices Category), which ones are in motion (In Motion Category) and which ones are stopped (Stopped Category).

 

If you have more than one vehicle next to each other, the map will display the vehicle grouping icon.

When you click on the arrow icon , the map will automatically zoom in and you will see the vehicles that make up the group. It will also open the group tab in the menu on the left.

Symbol of plus (+), pressing it opens under your vehicle summary information about its current status such as altitude, odometer, nearest indicator, nearest zone (if you have defined indicators and zones), battery, inclination, engine status, geographical position, etc.

Symbol of minus (-), pressing it will shrink the vehicle information. The information you have available depends on the model of your device, how it is installed and whether you have additional sensors.

The eye icon allows you to show/hide one or more vehicles from your map.

The tracking icon allows you to find the desired vehicle on the map. By tapping this, the selected vehicle will be centered on the map and will remain centered as it moves.

Tapping the Device will alphabetically sort the devices by name. This is followed by the icon that will be used to display the vehicle on the map and the name by which it was registered in the system. Both the name and icon of your vehicle can be changed from within the vehicle tab which is available from the gear icon.

The engine symbol if green indicates a lit engine, if red indicates a switched on engine.

The speed column shows the current speed of the vehicle in km/h.

The Connection Status column will display the connection status icon. Depending on its colour it gives you some indications about the connection of the device.

Green: there is a GPS and GPRS connection 

Orange: there is a GPRS connection but no GPS connection 

Grey: device offline (no GPRS & GPS live connection) 

A grey icon indicating an offline device does not mean that the device is malfunctioning. Trackers usually enter a low energy mode when a vehicle is stopped, to reduce energy consumption. The mode is disengaged when one or more conditions are met.

Quick history:  Helps you to quickly extract a vehicle's history for a predetermined amount of time.

  • Last hour: movement history for the last hour 
  • Today: movement history since 00:00 until now
  • Yesterday: movement history for yesterday
  • Two days ago: movement history for the last 2 days
  • Three days ago: movement history for the last 3 days
  • This week: movement history for the current week
  • Last week: movement history for last week
  • This month: movement history for the current month
  • Last month: movement history for last month

The above information is presented on the main map of the GPRS platform. By selecting an event (route, stop) from the pop-up menu table on the left side of the platform, it is centred on the main map where a pop-up window with detailed information is displayed. Detailed history can be viewed from the corresponding History menu.

  • View Options: Gives us the options Follow, Follow (new window), enter Street view (new window) and Send command.
  • Follow: Opens a new browser window with the vehicle centred on the map and relevant information on the left. These are divided into sensors, general and location.
  • Information: Allows you to hide/show the left information window.
  • Routes icon: Shows/hides the routes of your vehicle.
  • Follow (new window) offers the same options, the only difference is that instead of a new browser it will open a new tab in the already open browser.
  • Street view opens the Street view interface with the surroundings of the selected vehicle in a new tab.
  • >_Send Command refers to commands that can be sent by Skytrack technicians to the device to fix technical issues and to create actions from the device.

The gear gives access to the vehicle tab, from which you can manage all the information concerning the vehicle.

The different tabs are explained in detail below.

The Home tab contains all the basic identification information of the device.

  • Name: Fill in the device name. Could be vehicle make and model, registration number etc. 
  • IMEI: Τhis field comes pre-filled by the platform (cannot be changed by the user) and is the International Mobile Equipment Identity number. In other words, a unique identifier for your tracking device.
  • Model: You can fill in the vehicle model the tracker is installed. (optional)
  • Chassis number: You can fill in the vehicle's chassis number here. (optional)
  • Date of first authorisation: You can fill in the vehicles first authorisation day. (optional)
  • Tank capacity (fuel): You can fill in the vehicle's capacity in litres. (optional)
  • Group: here you select to which group the device belongs (if you have defined groups) (see corresponding section)
  • Driver: here you select who is the driver of the device (if you have entered drivers), or by setting the automatic assignment, you let the platform define who drives the vehicle. (see corresponding section)
  • Trailer: Select which trailer is connected to your vehicle, if you have trailers registed to your account. 
  • GPS Device field: this field comes pre-populated by the platform (cannot be changed by the user) and is the type of your device
  • SIM card number this field comes pre-filled by the platform (cannot be changed by the user) and is the SIM card number of your device
  • Tachograph: Comes pre-populated and shows us registered tachographs for the specific vehicle.
  • Odometer: Measures the road distance covered by the vehicle in kilometers.  We choose whether the meter will be closed, measure distance via GNSS or any relevant sensor (Odometer sensor in CANbus devices)
  • Engine Hours: The hours of engine operation. Pressing this selects whether the meter will be off, whether it will measure the operating hours via engine start, or whether it will measure the hours via sensor.

These measurements after a period of time may differ from the actual ones due to minor differences in the satellite measurements so it is recommended to update them regularly and definitely during a scheduled vehicle maintenance (service).

Vehicle Info

  • Vehicle Weight: You can enter your vehicle's weight in kilograms.
  • Payload: You can enter your vehicle's paypload in kilograms.
  • Speed limit: The top speed of your vehicle.

  • Device Installation Information field: This free field allows you to register information regarding installation date, technician name, installation shop etc.

 

Icon

On the Icon tab you can manage the options for displaying the vehicle on the map.

  • Shown icon on map: This option allows us to change the default arrow icon to either a custom one or a different one from the default icon list. If 'Arrow' is selected, we will still see an arrow on the map, and the icon change will only affect the relevant device in Objects-Devices menu.
  • No connection arrow color: You can change the arrow icon colour to reflect the state of your tracker. In this case, when your vehicle is not connected to the mobile phone provider, you have the option to select the color from among eight available colors, Pictured above both trackers are in ultra sleep mode, and therefore the arrow remains black since there is no active connection at the moment. 
  • Moving arrow colour: This allows us to change the arrow colour when movement is being detected by the tracker. The default is green.
  • Stopped arrow colour: This allows us to change the arrow colour when there is no movement detected from the tracker. It affects the scenario where the vehicle is stopped and there is currently an active connection to the server.
  • Engine idle arrow color: This allows us to change the arrow color when a vehicle is stationary, but ignition is detected. 
  • Tail & tail color: Changes the tail color of a vehicle. The tail shows the last few positions of the vehicle as reported by the tracker.
  • Tail points quantity: Allows us to change the tail points quantity. This may have an impact in performance if a great value is selected

 

Fuel consumption

  • Fuel consumtpion: Set the values for GNSS aided fuel counting.
  • Source: This menu allows you to choose how to calculate the fuel consumption. (Average GNSS aided consumption, Fuel level sensor or Consumption sensor). The last two heavily depend on how the vehicle interprets the fuel level data as it the information can either be in percentage or liters.
  • Measurement Unit: This changes the fuel measurement units (L/100KM or MPG)
  • Cost per measurement unit: Price per liter/gallon.
  • Summer rate: The consumption rate of the vehicle during summer months in kilometers per liter.
  • Winter rate: The consumption rate of the vehicle during winter months in kilometers per liter.
  • Winter from & to: We can alter the winter duration depending on the area we are based. 

In the Accuracy tab you find fields responsible for the accuracy of the measurements you want to receive. It is highly recommended to keep the default values. Please contact Skytrack's technical support department in case you're facing accuracy issues.

  • Time zone offset: Fixes timestamp issues in records sent by the GPS tracking devices. The default value is UTC and should be left as is. 
  • Detect stops using: How GPRS understands that your vehicle is stopped. The options are: Satellite signal (GPS), tracker internal accelerometer (ACC) or a combination of both.
  • Minimum moving speed has to do with the minimum speed value below which the vehicle is considered to be stationary.
  • Minimum idle speed field is the minimum speed value from which the vehicle is considered to be in idle mode.
  • Minimum distance between two tracking points field have to do with the accuracy of tracking the vehicle on the map.
  • Minimum value of GPS satellite numbers. Our device can connect to many satellites at the same time and the larger number helps us to have a more accurate tracking. If we want to make a change, to save it we need to select the round field before the value and then save with the save button.
  • Maximum height deviation value. With this setting, the platform does not calculate vehicle height deviation values greater than 3. This helps the accuracy of the data. The values range from above 20 to below 1. The lower number is better. If we want to make a change, to save it we have to select the round field before the value and then save it with the save button.
  • Minimum Fuel Difference Detection Speed in kilometers per hour (km/h): This setting tells the system when to start checking for differences in the amount of fuel in the vehicle. This helps us avoid having unnecessary data to analyze.
  • Minimum fuel value for tank fill detection in litres (L): This setting tells the system when to start checking for differences in the amount of fuel in the vehicle. This helps us avoid having unnecessary data to analyze.
  • Minimum value for fuel theft detection in liters (L). This setting tells the system when to start checking for differences in the amount of fuel in the vehicle and if there is fuel theft. This helps us avoid having unnecessary data to analyze and false alarms.
  • The clear sensor data button clears the fields to the default values.

 

Sensor ID Information

In the Sensor ID Information tab you find fields responsible for identifying and personalizing the sensors installed in your vehicle. These are custom fields that we are free to personalise in any way we want. 

 ​   will refresh the sensor ID information list
 ​ will add a new field 

  will delete any selected fields

 will close the Sensor ID information menu 

 

Adding a new field will present the following screen.

  • Sensor position: Where the sensor is installed.
  • Sensor ID: Unique sensor identifier, dependent on the sensor brand/type. 
  • MAC Address: Sensor's MAC address.
  • Date: Sensor installation date. 

It is recommended to keep the default values, if any. Please contact Skytrack's technical support for any queries. 

 

Sensors 

In the sensors tab we have the ability to create sensors in order to monitor various parameters for our vehicle. This is heavily dependant on the device type (simple tracking devices vs CANbus devices) as well as the vehicle type if we are using a CANbus device. Sensors are created by Skytrack's technical support department.
The generic sensors that are offered from every device type are the following:

  • ext_volt (voltage applied to tracker)
  • gpslev (visible satellites)
  • gsmlev (GSM signal in %)
  • move (vehicle moving state)
  • unplug (tracker unplug)
  • io239 (Ignition state)

Based on the above, we then can create notifications.

Below we have an example with a FMB920 paired with a bluetooth OBD tracker for testing purposes.

The sensor menu gives us the following options. 

  • Sensor list refresh
  • Add a new sensor
  • Sensor import/export
  • Save changes 
  • Delete selected sensors
  • Menu close

We can also edit sensors individually, by clicking the pencil icon next to the desired sensor

 

Clicking the  button, will open the following screen. 

This menu allows us to create a new sensor. We have the following menus:

  • Name (sensor name)
  • Type (Sensor type e.g. battery, digital input/output,fuel level etc.)
    • Battery - shows data about the battery charge level
    • Digital output - shows the value of the device sensor 1 or 0
    • Driver assignment - this type of sensor allows to accept data from RFID or iButton devices. This data will be checked by the system and the information will be visible, i.e. which driver is using the vehicle.
    • Engine Hours - accepts engine hours data.
    • Fuel level - for this option we have to choose the type of result (value or percentage) in relation to the result of the device.
    • Consumption - accepts the value for full fuel consumption or consumption between 2 points
    • Start (Starter) - shows the value of the sensor 1 or 0. It gives us the possibility to put text when the engine is 1 (e.g. On) and when it is 0 (e.g. Off)
    • Odometer - accepts total kilometres or kilometres between 2 points.
    • Passenger assignment - this type of sensor allows to accept data from RFID or iButton devices. This data will be checked by the system and the information will be visible, i.e. which passenger is in the vehicle.
    • Temperature - accepts the temperature value
    • Trailer assignment - this type of sensor allows to accept data from RFID or iButton devices. This data will be checked by the system and the information will be visible, i.e. which trolley is connected to the vehicle.
    • Custom - allows us to enter any necessary sensor information.

Depending on our selection various fields are enabled and disabled.

  • Parameter (The logical sensor transmitted by the device e.g. ext_volt, io239, unplug, etc.)
  • Gauge (Gauge type e.g. temperature, RPM, voltage etc.)
  • Data list (On/Off, shows the sensor on any data list available)
  • Type (Logic/Value/String/Percentage-depends on the sensor type)
    • Logic - allows to enter description based on sensor values.
    • Value - this option asks us to define result values (for example units of measurement kilograms, liters, etc.) and formula (where there is a need to enter our own formula/mathematical formula)
    • Percentage - this option asks us to set the lowest and highest result value
    • String - allows us to enter a string of consecutive symbols.
  • Units of measurement (Custom field value determined by the type of sensor (e.g. litres, gallons, volts)
  • If sensor "1" (text) (Logic sensors only, state if sensor value = 1 (true))
  • If sensor "0" (text): (Logic sensors only, state if sensor value = 0 (false))
  • Popup (On/Off, shows the sensor and its value on the vehicle popup menu)
  • Formula (Mathematical formula to adjust the sensor data if needed. e.g. gsmlev is transmitted in values 1-4. Formula allows us to convert to percentage. X represents the value transmitted by the tracker)
  • Lowest value (percentage only, lowest true value to filter out wrong results)
  • Highest value (percentage only, highest true value to filter out wrong results)
  • API Use (On/Off, turns on or off sensor API use)
  • Ignore if ignition is off (Ignores sensor data if ignition is off)
  • Auto geofence value & text for inactive/entering/exiting (Text displayed depending on the autogeofence state-values transmitted by the tracker)
  • Calibration: (Calibrates sensor data and creates offsets for better results if needed. We can set different values from the ones given by the sensor. The X field is the value given by the sensor and the Y field is the value we want to give. For example when the battery gives us 12.6 volts we can have the value 1 and when the battery gives us 13.5 volts we can have the value 2.)
  • Dictionary: (Adds multiple values and text results accordingly. Useful when receiving CAN door data where 0=all doors closed, 256=front left door open etc.)
  • Current Value: Shows the sensor's raw current value
  • Result: The final result after all configuration and modification.

In the Result tab on the left we can see when the vehicle starts and stops moving within the time limits of the search.

With  we can see the duration of the stops of the vehicle. Hovering the mouse over the result, we see in a temporary pop-up window data on arrival, odometer data, departure from the point and how long the machine was waiting. Clicking on this result opens a menu on the map (at the stopping point) with short and detailed information about the vehicle at the point and also Cockpit View (if available).

Correspondingly with   we see the duration that the vehicle was in motion. Hovering the mouse over the result, we see in a temporary pop-up window data about the distance of the trip, the maximum speed, and the average speed. Clicking on the result highlights the route on the map in dark blue.

 

A window also appears below the route. This contains all available sensors in graph form. If we hover our mouse over the graph, we will see the individual sensor value with the relevant timestamp. 

Also with the play  , pause  and stop   buttons , and by selecting the speed, we can play back the vehicle's route.

 

With the left right field buttons we can navigate further before or further after the playback point we are currently at. With the zoom in and zoom out buttons we can see more or less detail respectively in our graph.

On the right top of the graph window we see some icons that allow us to manage the way we see the route on the map.

 

Clicking on the Route option highlights our selected route and all the rest of the route "disappears". Tapping the option again returns us to the previous view of the result.

By tapping Open (Attach to road)  the GPS track is aligned exactly with the roads on the map. If we tap it again we see the track exactly as received by the GPRS platform whether it is adjacent to a road on the map or not.

Pressing the Arrow  button shows us the direction of the vehicle on the map at each point of the route with arrows.

Tapping on Data Points shows the points on the map where the vehicle provided data to the GPRS platform.

By tapping the Stops  we can show or hide the stops of the vehicle on the map.

By clicking on Events  we can choose to show or hide events that may have been created during the specific route.
