Fuel monitoring is more useful when a reading can be understood as both a percentage and a volume. This Secure GPS update lets users define tank capacity, display fuel in liters or gallons, review fuel-level statistics, and recognize moving devices on the map.
The release also improves offline tracker notifications, corrects sensor statistics available from the map, and updates help content for configuration guidance.
Tank capacity in device settings
Secure GPS added a tank-capacity value for devices that transmit fuel information. From a compatible reading and the configured capacity, the platform can display the level as a percentage and express it in liters or gallons according to the units used.
This conversion helps managers interpret readings in operational terms. A percentage supports relative comparison, while volume shows what the level represents within the configured tank.
Capacity must match the real tank, and the reading must be calibrated correctly. An incorrect value can produce a misleading volume even when the received percentage looks consistent. Secure GPS calculates the presentation from available data; it does not directly measure physical fuel.
Fuel statistics in liters or gallons
This update adds a fuel-level statistic expressed in liters or gallons. Users can select a device and period to observe how the reading changes throughout available history.
- Compare fuel level at the beginning and end of a route.
- Relate variations to locations and activity periods.
- Identify changes that need operational or technical validation.
- Prepare information for reviewing consumption, refueling, or possible anomalies.
A decrease or increase does not by itself prove consumption, refueling, or loss. Liquid movement, tank shape, inclination, sensor behavior, calibration, and reporting frequency can affect readings. Important decisions should use several points and, when applicable, a physical check.
Indicator for moving devices
The map displays an icon next to a marker when the device is moving according to received information. Operators can visually distinguish active trackers from those appearing stopped without opening every detail window.
This signal speeds up control-center work with many vehicles. A coordinator can focus on moving devices and open a marker to review speed, direction, latest communication, and other available attributes.
Status depends on the latest received data. If a tracker reports infrequently or goes offline, the icon may represent an earlier condition and should be interpreted with the location time.
Correct offline alert notifications
An issue affecting notifications for offline-device alerts was corrected. These alerts report that Secure GPS stopped receiving communication during the configured condition and help teams begin investigating.
Missing communication can involve power, installation, coverage, mobile data service, configuration, or the state of the tracker. The notification identifies the event; diagnosis requires reviewing the device and its context.
Corrected sensor statistics on the map
Sensor statistics viewed from the map were corrected to present available information more consistently. Users can review sensor data with the geographic and time context of the device.
This helps relate fuel or another compatible signal to a journey or location. Values depend on what the tracker transmits and how each sensor is configured.
Updated help for configuring functions
Help documentation was updated for these capabilities. Users and integrators can consult guidance before defining tank capacity, interpreting statistics, or investigating an alert.
Help complements but does not replace documentation for the tracker and installed sensor.
Real-world application
A company configures the real tank capacity for each vehicle and selects the units used in its operation. On the map, a coordinator identifies moving vehicles and opens fuel statistics to compare levels during a route.
If a tracker stops communicating, the team receives an offline alert and checks its latest location, time, and state. When a fuel variation appears, the manager compares several historical points and validates the data before classifying the event.
