This update improves GPS operations management with administrator subuser devices available as groups on the map, an annual PayPal payment without a recurring PayPal subscription, filters that retain their state, and clearer control over critical alerts. It also adds OBD support for compatible GoSafe trackers and a more informative experience for accounts using a custom domain.
Administrator subuser devices on the map
Secure GPS allows account owners to create subusers and distribute management responsibilities. Starting with this release, owners can review devices assigned to administrator subusers on the map and select them from the group filter.
This organization supports fleets delegated by customer, branch, coordinator, or operating area. Instead of finding each tracker separately, the primary administrator can select the relevant subuser and focus on the set under that person's management.
Application in a real operation
A business can assign vehicles from one region to an administrator coordinator. On the map, the owner selects that coordinator as a group, reviews the assigned devices, and compares activity without changing the fleet's permanent groups.
Visibility still depends on configured permissions and assignments. Each user should have access only to the devices required for their role.
Annual PayPal payment without a recurring subscription
Customers can pay for the annual period through PayPal as a one-time transaction without creating a recurring PayPal subscription. This option keeps the customer in control of whether to renew when the service term ends.
It is useful for organizations that approve each annual purchase, work with period-based budgets, or do not want automatic renewal authorization. Administrators should review service expiration and complete a new payment when appropriate to prevent interruptions.
Current terms, available methods, and pricing are displayed during checkout and may differ from those in effect on this article's publication date.
Filters and sorting retained during review
Secure GPS lists, including group administration, now retain the filter text, selected sort column, and direction across consecutive requests within the same view.
This reduces repetitive work when reviewing or editing several records. An administrator can filter by region, sort by name, open an item, and continue with the same organization after returning to the list.
Critical alerts that can be dismissed correctly
Critical alerts highlight devices on the map that need attention. Previously, after a device's alert configuration was edited, an earlier critical marker could remain visible even when it no longer matched the current settings.
This release corrects the behavior: saving device changes removes the obsolete critical state. The map also adds an action to stop and dismiss visible alerts, allowing operators to clear the view after reviewing the cases.
Dismissing a marker does not resolve the physical condition that caused the event. Operations teams should check the vehicle or asset and document the action taken before closing an incident.
A clear message for accounts using a custom domain
Organizations can access Secure GPS through a custom address. When that account is unavailable, the address now displays a specific temporary-unavailability message instead of redirecting users to the main site.
This reduces confusion for end users who expect to enter their provider's or company's platform. The message tells them to try again or contact the responsible administrator, making it clear that the issue concerns that account's availability.
OBD data for compatible GoSafe trackers
OBD support was added to the GoSafe protocol. OBD is a vehicle diagnostic interface that some trackers use to transmit additional data together with GPS location.
Secure GPS can interpret OBD information included in compatible GoSafe messages. Available fields depend on the model, vehicle, installation, and data actually transmitted. Integrators should validate every value before using it in reports, alerts, or maintenance decisions.
Recommended validation
During installation, first confirm the tracker identity and location. The technician can then compare received OBD data with a known vehicle reference and verify that it updates across several transmissions.
A public record of improvements
This release also introduces the Secure GPS changelog page. It brings published updates together so customers and integrators can review which features and compatibility changes were added on each date.
