Maps App

The Maps App gives you a real-time geographic view of your entire installed base — every asset and system that has reported a GPS location, plotted on an interactive map. Search, filter, and drill into any asset without leaving the map, manage alerts inline, and save custom filter sets for repeated use.

📊 Map Overview​

When you open the Maps app, all assets that have communicated a GPS location are plotted on the map. The left panel lists those assets and provides search and filter controls.

What does each element do?
ElementDescription
Map areaInteractive map showing asset pins, clusters, and GeoZone overlays
Left panelCollapsible search results list — shows all matching assets
Map controlsLayer toggle, zoom, home, locate-me, and address search (top-right)
Filter barAlert priority, maintenance status, security group, and attribute filters

⚠️ Only assets that have provided a GPS location will appear on the map and results list. Assets without GPS data are not shown.

🗺️ Map Controls​

The top-right corner of the map provides navigation controls:

ControlAction
Layer selector (hover)Switch between Satellite and Street view. Toggle street names, boundaries, and GeoZone overlays.
+ / −Zoom in and out
HomeReset to maximum zoom (full fleet view)
Pin iconZoom to your current location (requires browser location permission)
Magnifying glassText search by address, city, or postal code

🔍 Search and Filtering​

Text Search​

The search field at the top of the left panel searches by asset name, serial number, and other asset metadata and attributes.

Filter Options​

Click the filter icon to narrow results:

FilterWhat It Does
Alert PriorityShow only assets with Low, Medium, or High priority active alerts
MaintenanceShow only assets with Upcoming or Due maintenance status
Security GroupFilter to assets assigned to one or more selected security groups
AttributesFilter by attribute values assigned to assets (e.g., model, region, customer)

Filters affect both the map pins and the left panel results list simultaneously.

Saving Filters​

When you have a useful combination of filters applied, save them for reuse:

  1. Apply your desired filters, then click Save.
  2. In the modal, create a new filter set or overwrite an existing one.
  3. To reload saved filters, open the filter menu → My Filters → click the saved set.
  4. You can edit the name/description or delete a saved filter set from the My Filters view.

💡 Saved filters store the filter criteria, not the resulting assets. When you load a saved filter, the results may change if new assets match the criteria since the filter was last used.

💡 These saved filters are shared across the Asset List page and any page using the Asset Picker modal.

📍 Map Pins and Clusters​

Pin Colors​

Pin color reflects the asset's highest-priority active alert:

Pin ColorMeaning
🟢 GreenNo alerts, or low-priority alerts only
🟡 YellowMedium-priority alert active
🔴 RedHigh-priority alert active

Clusters​

When multiple assets are close together, they appear as a numbered cluster circle.

  • Hover over a cluster to see the geographic area it covers outlined on the map.
  • Click a cluster to zoom in and break it into smaller clusters or individual pins.
  • Cluster border colors reflect the alert mix inside. For example, if 2 of 5 assets have high-priority alerts, 40% of the cluster border is red and 60% green.
  • As you zoom in, clusters progressively split until individual pins are visible.

📋 Asset Information Panel​

Click on a map pin or an asset in the left panel to view its details.

Map Pop-up​

A pop-up appears over the selected pin showing:

  • Asset name, make, and model
  • Last communication date/time
  • Top three data points (latest values)

Left Panel Detail View​

The left panel expands to show full asset details:

SectionContent
HeaderAsset name, make/model, last communication time, last reported location. Click coordinates to resolve to a street address.
Live DataTop 5 most recent data points with timestamps. Click Show More for all data points. Click a timestamp to see the exact date/time.
Active AlertsCurrent alerts with inline Acknowledge, Snooze, and Clear buttons. Click Note to add a comment to an alert instance.
ImagesAsset photos (if uploaded). Click to view full size.
MaintenanceAll maintenance plans the asset belongs to, with current status. Click a plan name to view details. Click Complete to mark maintenance done.
AttributesAsset attributes list. Click Show More to expand all.
Device InfoTelematics device details (serial number, connectivity, last communication).

💡 Click the refresh icon next to the asset name to check for newly reported data — useful if you've been viewing the asset for a while or just triggered a data poll.

🔄 Common Workflows​

1. Daily Fleet Check​

  1. Open Maps → view the full fleet at a glance.
  2. Look for red or yellow pins indicating active alerts.
  3. Click on flagged assets to review alert details and acknowledge or clear.

2. Finding a Specific Asset​

  1. Use the search bar to search by name, serial number, or metadata.
  2. Or apply filters (security group, model attribute, alert status).
  3. Click the asset in the results list to zoom to it on the map.

3. Monitoring a Region​

  1. Apply a Security Group filter to isolate assets in a specific region or customer.
  2. Save the filter for daily reuse.
  3. Review pin colors for alert status, click into assets as needed.

4. Completing Maintenance from the Map​

  1. Filter by Maintenance → Due to find assets needing service.
  2. Click on an asset to see its maintenance plans in the detail panel.
  3. Click Complete to mark the maintenance job done without leaving the map.

✅ Best Practices​

  • Save filter sets for your most common views (e.g., "High Priority Alerts", "West Region Assets", "Due Maintenance").
  • Use clusters to quickly assess regional health — a mostly-red cluster border means that region needs attention.
  • Resolve coordinates by clicking them — street addresses are more useful when dispatching technicians.
  • Check for updates with the refresh button before making decisions on stale data.
  • Combine filters — Alert Priority + Security Group narrows results fast for targeted reviews.
