March 2023
March 2023's update of GpsGate is a treat for system administrators. You asked, and we listened - we've taken customer feedback to improve the way that you manage users and applications within our fleet tracking platform. Within GpsGate, it's now easier to assign users to applications with batch editing. Work faster and more efficiently to give your team access to the applications they work in every day.
Beyond that, you'll find new and improved visuals for our Getting Started and context menus. GpsGate's intuitive, modern design keeps your team efficient and makes for a better experience with our platform.
Don't wait - update! Benefit from the latest and greatest GpsGate features by keeping your platform updated. If you use our mobile apps, visit the Google Play and App stores to update.
For all the details, see our Beta release notes.
User Experience
We've updated our welcome window to get new users started on the right foot. When entering the application, the Getting Started window gives you the option to set up a GPS tracking device or test with a GpsGate simulator in a user-friendly design. Using new tools and features within GpsGate should be intuitive. This month, we've also cleaned up the context menu in the application. As you right-click, you'll navigate with a clean layout that includes color updates, and legible typography.
- 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.
Fleet app
This month, our team has improved the way data is displayed in our mobile Fleet application. You'll find a toggle setting to customize the way you view variables in your vehicle details.

- Vehicle variables design updates.

Developer & System Administration
Looking for some more easy-editing tricks? We've moved Site Admin User editing into the application. You can now use batch editing to give multiple users access to applications without navigating back to Site Admin. More improvements to streamline your admin tasks:
- Application names in the main menu application selector are now automatically updated after changing the application name.
- Remove the application from the application selector after deleting an application.
