How to Select a Device and Locate It on the Map
When to Use This
- You want to check the real-time location of a device
- You want to move from the selected device into tracks, trips, or alerts
Steps
- Enter the "Device List / Monitoring Overview" page.
- Search for the target device by device name or device ID.
- Click the device entry to select it. The map will automatically move near that device if location data is available.
- If you want to switch to tracks, alerts, or trip pages, keep the device selected and then enter the target module.
Tips and Best Practices
- Use status filters such as moving, stationary, or offline first, then search by device ID for better efficiency.
- Some disabled or expired devices may not be available as active monitoring targets. This is designed to prevent mistakes.
FAQ
Q: There are too many devices in the list. How do I find the target device?
A: Start with the search box and enter the device ID, then use group view to narrow down the owning group if needed.
Q: Why does the map not move after I select a device?
A: The device may not have a recent position, it may be offline, or location updates may be delayed. Try again later or check historical tracks.
