Tracking alerts are more useful when they do more than report an event and help start a response. This Secure GPS update lets users associate compatible commands with an alert so they can be sent when its condition becomes active. It also adds call actions in the mobile app and improves everyday fleet and GPS tracker monitoring.
The release also makes devices faster to load on the map, adds a monthly payment option without a recurring subscription for accounts with more than five devices, expands sensor information received from Galileo trackers, and corrects the date selection used for map queries.
Automated commands when a GPS alert becomes active
A compatible alert can now be configured with a command that Secure GPS sends to the tracker when the defined condition is met. This allows a tracking rule to connect event detection with an operational action without requiring someone to watch the screen continuously.
The feature can help teams respond sooner to situations such as a geofence exit, an operational change detected by a sensor, or another compatible condition configured in the account. For example, a manager can define a relevant alert and associate an instruction supported by the tracker model to standardize the initial response.
Delivery and execution depend on device compatibility, the available communication channel, the tracker's connection, and its configuration. Before automating an action, users should test the command manually, confirm its effect on the device, and choose an instruction appropriate for the situation.
Call actions from the mobile app
The new call command type lets users configure phone numbers and start a call from the Secure GPS mobile app. Contacts related to an operation can therefore remain closer to the tracking context, reducing the time spent finding or dialing their numbers manually.
In a real operation, this option can be used to contact a driver, security manager, technician, or a number associated with a device, depending on how each organization configures its contacts. The call uses the phone capabilities of the user's mobile device.
Faster access to GPS devices on the map
Device loading on the map was optimized to display the information needed at the start of a tracking session more quickly. This is especially valuable for accounts that manage several vehicles, assets, or trackers and need to locate the item they want to work with promptly.
A faster initial view supports daily tasks such as checking positions, identifying equipment that needs attention, and moving from an overall fleet view to the details of a specific device.
Monthly payment without a recurring subscription
Accounts with more than five devices can use a prepaid monthly option without maintaining a recurring subscription. This alternative gives operations more flexibility when they prefer to authorize each service period through a single monthly payment.
It can be useful for companies with period-based purchasing processes, temporary projects, or administrative teams that need to control when each renewal takes place. Availability, conditions, and the applicable amount are shown in the account's current payment options.
Sensor states for Galileo GPS trackers
Galileo protocol compatibility was expanded to interpret sensor states reported by supported trackers. Depending on the device model, wiring, and configuration, these states can add context about operational events related to a vehicle or asset.
For a fleet, having this information alongside the GPS position helps users understand not only where a device is but also which condition it is reporting. This can support monitoring of ignition, doors, or other configured inputs whenever the installed hardware provides those data.
More reliable date-based queries
The date selection used for map queries was corrected so that the chosen period is retained properly. This makes it easier to review history for the intended day or range and avoid accidentally querying different dates.
The improvement is practical when investigating routes, verifying an event, or reconstructing a day's activity because it keeps the selected period aligned with the requested information.
A more direct operational response
Consider a company monitoring several vehicles: its team can configure a relevant alert, associate a compatible command, find the device quickly on the map, and call the responsible contact from a mobile phone when needed. It can then query the correct period to analyze what happened and complement the position with available sensor states.
Together, these improvements make Secure GPS a more practical GPS tracking platform for responding to events, coordinating people, monitoring fleets, and adapting service continuity to different payment processes.
