Managing a GPS tracking operation means controlling how long each device should remain active, sharing locations quickly, and keeping user and tracker information organized. This Secure GPS update introduces tracker expiration dates, location sharing, Excel exports, SMS commands from settings, and stopped time on the map, together with support and accuracy improvements.
Expiration dates for GPS devices and licenses
Each device can now have an expiration date. When that date is reached, Secure GPS disables the device and stops counting it among the account's active licenses. The capability simplifies temporary services, contracts with an end date, demonstrations, and seasonal equipment.
An integrator can record when a customer's service ends; a company can schedule the departure of a leased vehicle; and a temporary project can prevent inactive equipment from continuing to occupy capacity. Disabling does not delete the device: it separates operational validity from its historical record.
Share a current location from the map
From a device's current location, users can open or share the point through Waze, Google Maps, and WhatsApp. This turns a Secure GPS position into an immediate action: start navigation, send the place to a driver, or tell a customer where a vehicle is located.
- Guide field personnel to an asset.
- Share a position with someone who does not need account access.
- Coordinate assistance, pickups, or deliveries through familiar apps.
Administrative exports to Microsoft Excel
Secure GPS can save lists of devices, users, temporary access, and groups in Excel. Businesses can review their tracking structure outside the screen, prepare audits, reconcile assignments, or provide organized information to other departments.
For example, an administrator can compare active trackers with the contracted fleet, verify who retains temporary access, or classify equipment by operational group. Exporting reduces manual transcription and preserves list columns for later analysis.
Technical meetings for operations with more than 100 licenses
Users with more than 100 active licenses can request a technical meeting through Google Meet from the contact section. This option brings support closer to large deployments that need to review settings, compatibility, or an operational scenario with more context.
The meeting is requested from Secure GPS and allows the need to be described in advance. A business can therefore bring together its fleet manager or integrator and use diagnosis time more effectively.
Dates that are easier to understand
Dates in lists can appear as relative time, such as how long remains before an expiration or how much time has passed since an event. Clicking the date switches back to its previous representation.
This view helps users prioritize. It is faster to recognize access that expires soon, a recent change, or a device updated several days ago without calculating the difference manually.
SMS commands from tracker settings
Accounts with active text messages can send SMS commands from the device settings page. This channel is useful when the tracker has no data connection and needs to receive a compatible instruction through the mobile network.
Commands depend on the model and should be used with a clear understanding of their effect. For integrators, placing the action beside device settings reduces screen changes and helps associate the instruction with the correct equipment.
Stopped time visible on the map
Secure GPS shows how long a device has remained without movement. The value distinguishes a short stop from extended inactivity without requiring a full report first.
A fleet can identify vehicles waiting too long, machinery that remains idle, or assets parked outside their routine. The indicator adds time context to the current position and helps the team decide whether to contact the operator.
Compatibility and accuracy corrections
- Suntech: a new disconnection status transmitted by compatible equipment is recognized.
- Average speed: its activity-summary calculation was corrected to provide a more representative reading for the period.
- Free month: editing was corrected for devices within that period.
Benefits for fleets and GPS integrators
Together, these improvements cover the administrative and operational device lifecycle. A manager can define its validity, export the account structure, share its location, see how long it has been stopped, and send an alternative command when needed. Large operations also gain a direct way to request a technical review.
Technical summary for integrators
Expiration disables a device on the specified date and excludes it from active-license counting. The current position generates destinations shareable with external apps; primary administrative lists support Excel export; SMS delivery requires active text messages and compatible commands; and the map calculates elapsed time since the latest movement state. The update also expands the recognized Suntech status and adjusts average-speed calculation.
Secure GPS combines real-time GPS tracking, maps, alerts, history, users, groups, shared access, commands, and reports to manage vehicles and assets from one platform.
