Releases

User Experience
Our team of developers is always working to make GpsGate more intuitive to use. This month, we've changed the way that you can interact with panels and columns:

• Double-click a panel header or panel tab to minimize and maximize it. Similar to Window behavior.
• Double-click a column separator to minimize and maximize the column.

Developer & System Administration
Do you use ArcGIS map layers to better visualize local conditions? With this month's update, we've integrated Web Map Tile Service (WMTS) within our ArcGIS map layer. Retrieve geofenced map tiles and the microdata you need for better vehicle scheduling and routing. To use this function, update the ArcGIS Map API to 3.42 and 4.25 respectively.

*Last month, we integrated Windy.com's weather map as a map layer in Beta. Test this map in the application under the "Maps" category in Privileges and Features. Windy's map provides interactive weather forecasting on a global scale. Use this map layer to get the latest local weather and use it to better inform your fleet movements.

System integrators appreciate customizing the way they view data within GpsGate. You can now save your application's Workspace to display accumulator start values in the Daily Summary panel. Additionally, an update to GpsGate's Fleet smartphone app gives you the ability to view Vehicle Status. You can now hide, show, and reorder fields for better visibility. You'll see further changes below:

• Add support to batch edit Status Indicator and Position Marker in the application. Learn more about this feature here.
• Add instructional text updates in Email, Error, and Profiling Logs when the table is blank.
