A refreshed Terminal, improved Geofences & REST API tools 🚀
This October, we're bringing more flexibility and control to GpsGate. The Terminal has received a major upgrade, with a clearer interface and more customization options to help you work with tracker data. We've also improved the Geofences experience, making it easier to manage geofences and see how they connect to Event Rules.
For developers and integrators, REST API documentation is now available directly in GpsGate, making it easier to explore and test endpoints without setting up an API key.
And there's more! GpsGate AI✨ is available for all applications, and you'll find new route geofences, reporting improvements, and updates across the platform.
Read on for all the highlights from the October release! And you can always find our Beta release notes here.
*Important notice for On-prem users
If your on-prem installation is older than MySQL 8, please upgrade your database before installing the October release.
New
- A major upgrade to the Terminal! We've refreshed the Terminal to make device data easier to read and work with. New customization options include hexadecimal formatting and feed direction controls, giving you more flexibility when troubleshooting and working with device messages.
- GpsGate AI ✨ is now available for all applications! Use the assistant to pull fleet queries, create event rules, troubleshoot device data, get help with scripting, and more.
- REST API documentation is now available directly in GpsGate. Browse and test API endpoints from within the platform without setting up an API key.
- Faster, easier Route Geofences. Enter a starting address and destination to create a geofence that follows the route between them.

- Manage Report Templates & Data Providers is now available in the platform. Create, edit, import, and preview report templates, with access to the query editor.
- More context and control in Geofences. View the groups and Event Rules connected to a geofence directly from the map. Click to open related groups or rules, or edit the geofence from its information card. We've also improved how geofences are displayed, filtered, and updated, including more reliable map pins and faster loading for users with many geofence groups.
- GpsGate AI ✨ can now help with driver identification. Ask about RFID cards, iButtons, driver-to-vehicle assignments, and how driver information appears in events, notifications, and reports. You can also ask for a list of drivers and their Driver IDs.

- Fix an issue where a large number of configured email notifications could slow device message queues and cause messages to be dropped.
- Fix an issue where analyzing speed in Charts could create a duplicate graph that could not be removed.
- Fix to add Asset Status Templates back in the main menu.
- Fix issues affecting Event Rule detailed and summary reports for groups.
- Fix an issue where the API key field was not visible in What3Words Geocoder settings.
- Fix an issue where the Windy map layer animation could flicker or appear too faint.

Deprecated
As part of our ongoing UI improvements, we've removed the following legacy panels:
- Legacy Asset Status
- Legacy Asset Info
- Legacy Tracks was deprecated with September's release
Please refer to our deprecation schedule for more
This September, you can see more with every track! We've color-coded Tracks based on the data and signals that matter to you—like speed, fuel level, temperature—for a visual overview of what's happening throughout a vehicle journey.
We've also added some UI improvements to make everyday fleet monitoring smoother. Quickly jump to an asset's most recent activity in Daily Summary, see numbered stops directly on the map, and get more context when working with geofences.
Read on for all the highlights from the September release!
*Important notice for On-prem users running MySQL 5.5
If your On-prem GpsGate installation uses MySQL 5.5, please upgrade your database before installing the September release.
Some updates included in this release use SQL queries that cannot be executed on MySQL 5.5. This can cause the GpsGate update to fail and, in some cases, prevent users from logging in.
We recommend upgrading to a supported MySQL version before proceeding. If maintaining or upgrading your database is becoming a challenge, GpsGate Cloud is another option, with platform and infrastructure updates managed for you.
New

- User Actions now have one central view. Find User Actions under Users & Access, where Site Administrators with permission can switch between applications and review activity from one place
- We've made improvements to the Terminal window that include:
-a reversed feed direction - with automatic refresh and scroll

Fixed
- We've restored several menu items that were missing from the new main menu, including Dispatch, Indoor Position System, Notes, Street View and Services Accounts. Integrations such as WASL Data Forward and Malaysia MOT are now grouped in a new "Integrations" category, which is only shown when your installation uses such an integration
- Windows added by a custom plugin are shown again in the main menu, under a new "Custom Plugins" group
