REST API token

There are now more ways to send and receive information to GpsGate. We've updated the way admins generate REST API tokens for users. No longer affected by password changes, admins are able to generate and re-generate tokens from within the application. Still secure, the token is secret and disappears once generated.

See this guide for more on the new REST API token generation process in GpsGate.

• Add link to "REST API Documentation" in application menu -> Admin -> Development.
• REST API tokens are now generated from the User form.
• The REST API token resource has been deprecated in favor of the new token workflow.

Fleet App

• Our Fleet app search function is even more comprehensive. You can now search for any detail linked to a vehicle or user.

Developer & System Administration

• Update SSH.NET to latest version.

Data and information security
Safe and secure fleet data is our promise to customers. That's why we've renewed our annual ISO 270001 certification. The ISO (International Organization for Standardization) certification for information security management provides a seal of excellence, showing that GpsGate adheres to internationally recognized standards.

Developer & System Administration

Device Plugins
We're constantly updating GpsGate's device plugins to give you unrivaled fleet tracking data. With new devices and even more inputs than last month, you're able to keep up with the vehicle signals that keep fleets productive. Interested in video telematics? New to our platform this month is the DSM Camera accessory from Teletonika Telematics. Supported by both the FMB640 and FMC640 tracking devices, this camera detects common in-cab behavior that can lead to dangerous driving.

Developer & System Administration

Whether you use GpsGate's native map, Google Maps, or ESRI maps with ArcGIS layers - detailed fleet coordinates are important. With the reverse geocoding function, users can transform a location on the map into an address that will display in the Vehicle List. This month, we've optimized resources used to pull this data so fleet managers can count on even more accuracy in pulling geolocations without an impact on performance.

Last month, we rebooted our Device Mapper. With faster loading times, system admins can tweak device inputs and signal data. Improvements this month include:

• increasing the width of the Variable column so it fits longer variable names.
• adding a tooltip to the Device input column.
• adding the option to resize the column widths.

Further improvements that system admins will notice:

• Improved error handling for email service providers.
• Improvements to the table component in admin panels.
• Handle reports with no position (0,0). Replaces (0,0) positions with the latest known position of the device.

User Experience

As software developers, we're always thinking about how to give our users the best experience possible. This month, you'll notice a few simple tweaks to build upon our intuitive, clean UI. Here are the highlights:

• Tracks: rearrange map layers for improved visibility on the map.
• The split button now has the main action to the left and a drop-down arrow on the right for a cleaner UI.
• Improve UI responsiveness when the map contains a large number of POIs.
