December 2023
Fleet solutions perform best when users can easily configure them. In this month’s release of GpsGate, our tracking partners can expect an even more streamlined workflow. More site settings, like SiteAdmin roles and selected map configurations, have moved in-app. No need to navigate back and forth between GpsGate applications and SiteAdmin. Beyond that, our team increased the capabilities of integrated Teltonika and Cypress devices so that our tracking partners stay ahead with their offerings.
Read on to discover where these site settings have moved!

More SiteAdmin settings moved in-app
A well-configured fleet solution sets customers up for success. From enabling roles and privileges to configuring device listeners and custom variables, you can do more within GpsGate after updating in December. Here’s what’s new in-app:
- Scheduled reporting was redesigned and moved to Main menu → Reporting → Scheduled
- SiteAdmin roles moved to Main menu → Site Admin → Users → Site Admin Roles
- Device Variables and Device Listeners moved to Main menu → Site Admin → Devices
- Mapbox, OneMap, What3Words, and Geocode.farm settings moved to Main menu→ Site Admin → Maps & Geocoders
- Geocoders error section moved to Main menu → Site Admin → Account → Settings
User Experience
- Account Settings pages (like Localization, Email, SMS etc.), Logs pages (like Email logs, Error logs), and Terminal (like Connections, Queue) are now searchable in the Main menu
- The Scalebar in HERE maps now matches the app's unit/locale settings
- Add support for the "peek" functionality in HERE and Bing Maps (dimming UI when holding down "p")

Developer & System Admin

- Replace separate SiteAdmin privileges for Bing, HERE, and Mapbox with one Maps and Geocoders privilege
- Delete users on Sync if they were removed from LDAP since the last synchronization
