location. Click on the box to show the latitude and longitude, the street name, the city,
the county, the speed at which the device is traveling, and when the data was last
updated.
4. To the left of this map is the list of all the devices currently on the account, and in
between the map and the list are a series of buttons. At the top is a search symbol
where you may type in addresses. Below that is a "Map Selection" button
that breaks out to offer different map views.
5. To gather an actual address, use the "Google Street View" function to bring the
man icon onto a road and look around for a visible address.
6. To add a user-defined point or a geofence, click on the location button to see the
breakout options: .
7. To select options of displaying on the map the current traffic, user-defined points, and
geofences, click the “Map Settings” button:
8. To exit this page, click along the top to enter a different section of the platform or click on
“Overview."
Creating a GeoFence - From Realtime Monitoring
1. To the right-hand side is the map, and on the left is the list of beacons associated with
your account. Select a beacon to manage and it will show that beacon on the map.

options to add a point or add a geofence
3. First, to create a geofence, make sure you are viewing the area you wish to put a fence
around. Give the geofence a title, select a color if you wish, and then pick a shape or
draw one out .
4. Once you hit the Save button, this geofence is created. Alerts can now be generated to
let you know if and when a beacon goes into or outside of this area of the map.

shape.
5. Click “Save” when done.
Adding a Custom Point of Interest - From Realtime Monitoring

your account. Select a beacon to manage and it will show that beacon on the map.
2. On the left-hand side of the map is a point marker button . Click this to show the
options to add a point or add a geofence .
3. Click the option to add a point, then click on the map to place a pin.
4. Give the point a name, a description if desired, and an indicator symbol (ex, Bus Stop,
Hotel, Company, Address, School, etc).

What is GSM localization?
Your GL tracker utilizes an activated SIM card, paid for by your monthly subscription, in
order to send the information up to the servers for you to access. When the satellite GPS signal
is lost, as it would when entering a parking garage, going in between high-rise buildings, or
when going under a bridge. When this happens, the device will still be tracked via the GSM SIM
card inside by pinging against the cell towers in the local area. What will change on the map is
that the range of detection will increase to encompass the entire signal radius of the cell tower
pinged. If the signal is lost for a period of time while travelling, such as when being put into a
shipping container, the beacon updates within these cell tower radiuses as it goes down the
highways, enabling you to still detect the direction of travel and to have an idea of when a
shipment gets delivered. Once the device regains a GPS signal, it will automatically switch back
to tracking via the satellites.
