GPS operations do not always use one unit system or need to observe only the current position. This Secure GPS update introduces measurements in kilometers and gallons, first activation and last deactivation for sensors, trails of new map positions, and expanded information when hovering over a device. It also corrects the interpretation of communications from compatible Teltonika trackers.
Kilometers and gallons in one configuration
Secure GPS can combine metric distance with gallons for fuel volume. This setting supports countries and operations where routes are measured in kilometers but fuel purchases or readings are handled in gallons, as commonly occurs in Colombia, Panama, Peru, and Ecuador.
Previously, choosing a unit system could associate distance and volume automatically. Separating these preferences presents information in a way that more closely matches each business's documents, habits, and calculations.
- Familiar distance: review trips and statistics in kilometers.
- Operational volume: display fuel readings and metrics in gallons.
- Fewer manual conversions: compare Secure GPS information with local refueling and reports.
- Greater clarity: each user interprets values using the organization's units.
The selected unit does not change data transmitted by a device or create a fuel reading by itself. Secure GPS converts and presents available information according to account preferences.
First activation and last deactivation of sensors
The activity summary now includes the time of the first activation and last deactivation of sensors recorded during the period. Users can see not only how long a sensor remained active, but also when its first activity began and its final activity ended.
This information adds context to digital inputs that may represent ignition, door opening, machinery operation, or other states defined by the integrator. The exact interpretation depends on how each sensor is installed and configured.
- Confirm when the first activity of a workday began.
- Identify when the final recorded cycle ended.
- Relate activations to trips, stops, and schedules.
- Find differences between expected operation and observed activity.
A refrigerated-transport business can review when connected equipment first activated and when it stopped operating. A fleet can relate an ignition signal to the beginning and end of a workday. A machinery company can compare activations with reported working time.
Trail of new positions on the GPS map
The map now includes an option to leave a trail as new markers arrive. When enabled, Secure GPS retains a visual line representing the recent sequence of positions, allowing users to observe device movement without losing the context of previous points.
The trail is useful during live monitoring: it helps reveal direction, approach to a destination, and small trajectory changes. It does not replace trip history, which remains the appropriate tool for analyzing earlier periods in greater detail.
- Live tracking: observe a vehicle's recent progression.
- Movement context: distinguish an isolated position from a trajectory.
- Event response: visually follow an asset as it approaches or leaves an area.
- Map control: show or hide the trail according to the operator's task.
More information from the device list
The device-list tooltip displays expanded information when a user places the pointer over a tracker. This makes it possible to review current context without first opening every device option.
In a monitoring center, an operator can move through the list, identify equipment requiring attention, and decide whether to center it on the map, open its settings, or review a report. Quick access reduces screen changes and speeds up supervision of accounts with several devices.
Teltonika compatibility correction
The update corrects Teltonika protocol processing. Compatible trackers can communicate positions and attributes more reliably when using the corrected format.
Available information depends on the model, installation, and configuration. Integrators should verify the data supported by the equipment and test it after setup. Secure GPS interprets what the tracker transmits and presents recognized fields in maps, alerts, and reports.
Real-world applications
A fleet can review distance in kilometers and fuel in gallons, see when a sensor activated and deactivated, follow a vehicle's recent trail, and obtain quick information from the list. When compatible Teltonika equipment is used, the protocol correction improves the continuity of data supporting those capabilities.
Technical summary for GPS integrators
Unit settings separate distance, volume, and temperature to provide regional combinations. The summary locates the first transition to an active state and the last transition to an inactive state during the selected interval. The map retains a polyline of new positions when the trail control is enabled, and the tooltip uses current device information. The update also adjusts Teltonika protocol interpretation.
Secure GPS combines real-time GPS tracking, maps, sensors, statistics, alerts, trip history, and protocol compatibility for managing fleets and assets.
