Icons overlapping each other on the map can be replaced by the common icon with a number indicator. To do this, select Display overlapping units in one icon in the User Settings dialog.
Unit icons can be replaced with motion state signs. This option is called Replace unit icons with motion state signs and is set in User Settings. The following symbols are possible:
Besides, the colors of these icons (arrow, square, circle) can be
different and depend on the value of sensor. This functionality is
adjusted on the Advanced tab of unit properties. In other words, the shape of the icon is
defined by the state (standing still — square, moving — arrow), and the
color depends on the sensor value (intervals and colors are adjusted in sensor properties).
Unit names can be shown or hidden when displaying a unit on the map. It depends on the state of the () button in the layers menu on the map.
Monitoring units are conditionally divided into active and inactive
ones. Inactive units are those units from which there have been no
messages with data for more than 48 hours. Other units are considered
active.
The system supports the possibility of differentiating unit states on the map. To do this, check the Blur icons of inactive units box in user settings.
In this case inactive units are displayed on the map with blurred icons
and transparent names. If the signs of motion are used instead of
icons, then transparency is used both for signs and names. If the Display overlapping units in one icon box is checked in User Settings,
and all the units with overlapping icons are inactive, then the icon
for them is displayed blurry. Moreover, the icons of drivers or trailers
bound to the inactive unit are also blurred until they are unbound.
LBS detection is an alternative method of finding units on the
map. The accuracy of this method is inferior to determining the location
using GPS, but if the unit experiences troubles with GPS connection you
can switch to the LBS detection method. To do this, it is necessary to check the Allow positioning by cellular base stations box on the Advanced tab of the unit properties dialog. Therefore, if LBS detected data is more recent than GPS data, it is used to determine current location of the unit.
When using LBS detection, units are displayed on the map in the
following way: the current icon of the unit is placed into a
transparent white circle with a red dotted stroke, the brightness of the
icon decreases.
If the unit is currently in motion, the green arrow shows the direction of its movement, and the unit can be followed by a blue tail (trace) which shows the track for the last few messages. If the unit is
stationary (according to the last message), this arrow is not shown. If
there was no motion within several latest messages, the trace is not
shown (or the page has just been loaded). The length of the trace is 5
messages, however, it can be changed together with the trace width and
color in User Settings.
Direction arrows, traces, the names of assigned drivers and units can be
disabled. To do this, use the corresponding buttons in the layers menu on the map:
If the names of both units and assigned drivers are enabled
simultaneously, the latter are shown in parenthesis. The colors of the
captions are taken from the units' properties.
