If you clicked on the icon from the detail screen you can choose a matching icon, such as a car, motorcycle, boat or container.
That way you can see, for example, faster on the map or in the overview which unit it concerns, or what you use the unit for.
The GPS icon is automatically changed to an LBS icon, as soon as the Loca cannot receive a GPS signal. Read more about the difference between GPS and LBS here.
In this screen you can make a fixed address of a received location. This allows you to enter a company name or other name, for example.
The system then automatically recognizes when a location is received within a certain radius, and will complete the data you have entered, such as a name or house number. Via Settings > Addresses you can specify a radius per set address. The radius is the radius in which the location must be before the data will be supplemented or modified.
This setting is convenient, for example, when an object is at an intersection and displays a different address each time. If you create a Location for this, you will now see the same address, possibly with a name.
In this screen you can view the map showing all the latest locations of the Loca’s that you have in your account.
If you click on an icon on the map, the details of that specific Loca will be shown, such as the date and time and the address.
Via the icon itself you can see whether this was a GPS or LBS location.
For example, with the search function you can type in the unit name you are looking for, the map will then automatically zoom in on this unit.
