Location History

Every check-in is saved — position, time, and speed — and the selected trailer draws its recent trail on the fleet map.

See where a trailer has been

Every check-in a tracker makes is saved to its location history — a running record of position, time, and speed. When you need to know where a trailer was on Tuesday, the history answers it.

What gets recorded

Each history entry is one check-in:

  1. Position — latitude and longitude, with the reverse-geocoded address at the latest one
  2. Timestamp of the check-in
  3. Speed at the moment of the check-in

Because trackers check in about every 30 minutes, history is a series of timestamped waypoints — a dotted line of where the trailer was, not a second-by-second route. On-demand locates add extra points whenever you request them.

Seeing it on the map

Select a device on the GPS Tracking page and its recent check-ins draw as a trail on the fleet map, so you can see at a glance which way a trailer has been moving. The device's Trip History view breaks the trail into journeys with times and distances between waypoints.

What it's good for

  • Disputes — "the renter says they returned it Friday" meets a check-in record that says otherwise.
  • Insurance and police reports — timestamps and coordinates, ready to hand over.
  • Utilization — spot the trailer that never leaves the yard and the one that is always out.
