April 2023
With GpsGate's fleet management platform, you have access to the real-time fleet data your team relies on. With April 2023's release, we've updated our Vehicle Status Markers to put important fleet data front and center. At the same time, we know it's important to develop our platform to help fleet managers with their long-term operations. This month, we've added a new billing page for up-to-date account details within a billing cycle.
For new tracking partners, GpsGate Cloud is now available for instant registration from our website. Better yet? The first 30 days are risk-free. Here's how to request a GpsGate Cloud account.
Stay on top of your game and keep GpsGate updated. If you use our mobile apps, visit the Google Play and App stores to update. Want all the details? See our Beta release notes.
Developer & System Administration
With this month's release, users have more visibility into their billing details. Look into total vehicles tracked, Google Maps users, and vehicles using GpsGate Maintenance - across applications. The Billing window's straightforward design makes it easy to dial down with price per unit, current balances, and estimated totals for the billing cycle. This tool makes budget forecasting easier for you and your fleet customers.
- Find all of the updated billing info in Site Admin > Account > Billing (formerly named License).
- The Billing window can now drill down to see more details about a product and which applications and users are contributing to the cost.
User Experience
- Visual updates to the context menu that appears when right-clicking on the vehicles on the map or in the Vehicle List.
- Updates to the Map Toolbar for an updated look and feel.
Device Plugins
Each month, our dedicated device integration team configures new variables and signals to the GPS tracking devices and accessories you depend on. Device updates to GpsGate this month:
- Teltonika Telematics: we've added support for advanced signals on multiple devices. New to GpsGate's platform are the FMC150, FMB150, FMC150, and FMM150 tracking devices.
- Coban: ignition signal support for GPS303 device.
- Meitrack: update command acknowledgments.
- GlobalmatiX: TrackPoint timestamp updates.
User Experience
We've simplified the way that Vehicle Status is displayed. By default, all variables (including mapped fields, custom fields, and user attributes) will be shown for all vehicles. Admins have a more user-friendly way to assign a template to users and tags than ever before. Instead of using the batch edit tool, you can now create a template and assign it to specific users and tags.
- New default setting for Vehicle Status. Workspaces now include Vehicle Status in a popover.
- UI update to the Action button in the Vehicle Info panel.
- Mobile Fleet app updated for Android users.
- Improved error handling for email services.
Developer & System Administration
- Updates to product timezone database.
- Add user "name" property for REST API. endpoint:/applications/{applicationid:int}/usersstatus.
- When TrackPoint's UTC is older than 30 minutes the VehicleStatus is set to PARKED_ENGINE_OFF instead of DEVICE_NOT_WORKING.
- For GpsGate Cloud instances, client resource content is loaded from the delivery network.
- Add 'lastModified' for 'getLatestRecords' for specific user IDs.
- Remove calls to deprecatedfindDOMNode.
As we improve features each month, we want to keep you in the loop on even the tiniest fixes. We work to make our platform a seamless experience so you can keep your workflow efficient.
