The Movement tab in Asset Home helps you understand where an asset has been and how it has moved over time. It offers two key types of tracking:
Geolocation, which shows specific locations the asset has reported at particular times, tells you where the asset spend the most time through a heat map, and gives you a full picture of what happened when an asset broke down.
Note: Geolocations can only be tracked for assets equipped with a Trackunit Device. Third-party devices will not be tracked under geolocations in the Movement tab.
Trips, which identify complete movements above a speed threshold with ignition on — great for reviewing actual journeys between points.
Note: Trips are only available for assets with the type "Vehicle", and for assets equipped with a Trackunit Device. Third-party devices will not be tracked under trips in the Movement tab
Use Movement to check routes, verify arrival times, gain insights into usage patterns, or investigate unexpected movement.
Access the Movement tab
Log in to Trackunit Manager
Navigate to the Assets page from the left-side navigation, and click on the asset you are interested in.
From Asset Home, select the Movement tab on the left-side menu.
Uncover an asset's whereabouts
Select List by geolocation from the dropdown menu.
Select the date or date range that you are interested in.
This provides a list of the asset's geolocations at specific times, including the registered address, longitude, latitude, and a corresponding marker displayed on the map.
💡 Tip: The geolocations list can display up to 4,000 points at a time while the Map can display 600 points at a time. To display up to 4,000 points on the map, use the Heatmap and/or Connect Route Map options.
By tracing the asset's whereabouts and its location on the map, you can gain insight into its daily activities—whether it was at the designated job site or, in cases of theft, where it was last seen.
Identify where your assets spent the most time
Select List by geolocation from the dropdown menu.
Select the date or date range with a high number of received geolocations.
Click on Connect route below the map to deactivate it and focus solely on the Heatmap.
Focus on the red areas on the map to see where assets spent the most time.
Get the full picture of what happened when an asset broke down
Select List by geolocation from the dropdown menu.
Select the date or date range that you are interested in.
Click on any of the geolocations in the list, and select/click on Insights.
This will take you to Insights, zoomed in on the selected hour interval (30 minutes before and after).
You can select other parameters to compare and link asset health readings with a location and time to gain a full understanding of what happened to that asset at that particular location and time.
Environmental surroundings can help you understand asset breakage or question an operator's actions at a specific moment and location.
Optimize an asset's movement by reviewing the trips it took
Select List by trips from the dropdown menu.
Select the date or date range that you are interested in.
Click on any point on the map to see further details, or use the time slider below the map to go through all points chronologically.
💡 Tip: Click on each trip to see more details such as driven distance, time driven and max speed for the individual trip.
Above the trips list, there are indicators for Driven distance and Total duration, which summarize all the trips within the selected timeframe.
You can view the driver's route from point A to point B, verify whether they passed the required checkpoints, completed the deliveries, and how much time they spent at different locations.
A trip is defined as the movement of an asset above a certain speed threshold with the ignition on. The purpose is to capture long-range movement rather than the daily operations of an asset at a job site.
Why am I not seeing any data for trips or geolocations?
Both Trips and Geolocations require you to use a Trackunit Device. Data from third-party devices will not be shown in the movement tab.
It could also be that you have selected the wrong dates. Make sure to select time periods in which you know the asset was supposed to report movement.
