Map tools
In the Tracking application, you can find various tools and options located in the top right and bottom right corners of the map interface. These tools allow for easy access to view or change your map, tiles, geofences, and POIs.
Map search
The Search tool enables you to find specific locations by:
Address search: Enter an address to locate it on the map.
Places by label and tag: Search for places using predefined labels and tags.
Geofences by label and tag: Find geofences using their labels and tags.
Places (POIs)
Places, also known as Points of Interest (POI), are specific locations that help organizations track visits, optimize route planning, and streamline various activities by marking key locations like offices, warehouses, and other critical sites.
Geofences
Geofences are virtual perimeters that allow the system to monitor whether an object has crossed the geofence border ("in" or "out"). They enable users to generate geofence reports, receive alerts, and apply specific rules for events within designated areas.
Map layers
You can choose different map layers to suit your needs. Options range from standard street maps to satellite imagery, provided by various map vendors, and may depend on the user plan. You can also add map overlays using custom layers.
Map
You can also choose different maps for your needs. Options range from Google Maps to Open Street Maps. You may also have the option to add your own map such as Mapbox or LocationIQ.
Street view
Access Street View by right-clicking on the map. This feature allows you to view real-world imagery of locations for better context and navigation.
Route
The Route tool helps in planning and visualizing the path between multiple points. You can create and view detailed routes, making it easier to plan logistics.
Distance and area measuring
The Measuring tool allows you to calculate:
Distance: Measure the distance between two or more points on the map.
Area: Calculate the area within a specified boundary.
Reference point
The Reference Point tool lets you mark a point on the map for easy reference. This can be useful for pinpointing key locations or setting up navigation aids, including sorting objects in your list by distance from the reference point.
