When you first enter the Home Screen, the map displays the area in which ALL your assigned vehicles are located.
Navigating around Smartrak map is similar to other mapping applications, such as Google Maps.
- You can use your mouse’s roller to zoom in or out.
- Click down and hold on the left hand side of the mouse to grab the screen and pull it the direction you wish to go.
- There is also a helpful menu on the right click of your mouse. For more detail see the Right Click menu.
At the top of the page is a light green bar. On that bar are Feature buttons that you click on, to take you to the different functions of Smartrak.
These could be different for each user depending on what you have been given permission to view by your administrator.
Next to the function icons, is the Universal Search box. This allows for smart searches of addresses, vehicles, drivers, map tags or geofences within Smartrak.
