Key Takeaways
What are “Positions with trails”?
A map view that shows the current device position together with a trail of its most recent positions.
What insight do the trails provide?
You see movement direction and relative speed. A short trail with tightly spaced points indicates slow movement. A long trail indicates faster movement.
Can operators adjust what is shown?
Yes. You can set the trail length and the number of data points displayed.
Is the data stored for later analysis?
Yes. Every position message with valid data contributes to the trail and is stored for historical analysis.
Traxmate not only shows the current location but also displays the most recent positions on a trail. This provides a visual representation of the device’s previous locations and movement speed. A short trail with closely spaced position points indicates slow movement, while a long trail suggests fast movement.
The user can adjust the length of the trail and the number of data points displayed.
Each position message containing valid position data contributes to tracking the device’s movement and is stored in the Traxmate database for historical analysis.
