A GPS alert is more valuable when it reaches the responsible person even when the map is not open. ALTAGAMA GPS adds push notifications for tracking alerts and enables their reception in the mobile app, helping authorized users learn about relevant events from their phones.
The update also corrects the association of sensor data received from Teltonika trackers and improves the responsiveness of the bar used to play historical routes on the map.
Push notifications configurable for GPS alerts
When creating or modifying an alert, users can enable push notification as a delivery channel. When the configured condition is met, ALTAGAMA GPS can send the event to the mobile app associated with users who have access to the corresponding device.
Push complements other alert delivery options. Its main advantage is bringing the notice to a phone without requiring the map to remain open in the foreground. This is useful for traveling managers, supervisors away from the control center, or owners who need to learn about a relevant condition during the day.
Situations a push alert can report
The notification depends on the rule created by the user. Based on supported features and available data, an operation can use alerts for conditions related to location, geofences, speed, sensors, or other device attributes.
Examples include:
- Notifying when a vehicle enters or leaves a defined area.
- Reporting that speed exceeds a configured limit.
- Communicating a sensor change received from a compatible tracker.
- Delivering another operational condition configured as an alert in the account.
A notification reports that ALTAGAMA GPS processed a condition. It does not guarantee that someone will read it immediately or that the physical event occurred with absolute accuracy. Critical decisions should consider alert configuration, the quality of tracker data, and the organization's response procedure.
Receiving notices in the mobile app
The ALTAGAMA GPS mobile app was prepared to receive push notifications from enabled alerts. When the app is linked to an account, users can receive notices related to devices they are allowed to access.
The channel requires a compatible app version, an authorized session, phone permission to display notifications, and Internet connectivity. Battery-saving settings, mobile device restrictions, or disabled notices may delay or prevent their presentation.
When a user no longer has access to a tracker or ends the account connection, notification associations are updated to respect current permissions. This helps keep notices aligned with the devices each person is authorized to view.
How push alerts support response coordination
Consider a company protecting vehicles parked after hours. It can configure an alert for the condition it wants to monitor and enable push delivery. If the rule is met, the responsible person receives a phone notice, opens ALTAGAMA GPS to review the device, and follows the company's defined procedure.
In a delivery operation, the same channel can report an area exit or speed condition. The value is not only receiving a message but reducing the time between detection, context review, and the manager's decision.
Corrected sensor mapping for Teltonika
ALTAGAMA GPS corrected how sensor data from compatible Teltonika trackers are associated with the sensors presented by the platform. This relationship matters because each input must retain its intended meaning when a device message is interpreted.
Proper mapping supports review of the correct sensor state on the map, in history, in statistics, or in alerts that use that information. The final meaning of each sensor depends on the Teltonika model, wiring, accessories, and installer configuration.
The correction improves interpretation of received data. It does not enable physical sensors that are not present and does not replace installation verification.
Faster route playback on the map
The route playback bar was optimized to respond more quickly when loading a route, starting or resuming animation, or changing the time point being reviewed. Its behavior was also adjusted when one set of positions is replaced with another route.
This feature displays the historical sequence of positions and helps explain how a device moved through the selected period. A supervisor can review a workday visually, pause near an event, and connect that moment with the place shown on the map.
Playback uses positions available in history. It cannot reconstruct data the tracker did not send, and it should not be confused with video streaming or real-time tracking.
How this supports a route review
After receiving a push alert, a manager can open the device and review its context. If a later investigation is needed, the manager can load historical movement and use the playback bar to move through positions more smoothly.
When the device is a Teltonika tracker reporting compatible sensors, corrected mapping adds context about the state reported at each moment. Mobile notices, sensor information, and history work together to support an operational investigation.
Public technical summary
- Push notification option in GPS alert configuration.
- Push notice reception in the mobile app for authorized users and devices.
- Corrected association of sensor data in compatible Teltonika tracker messages.
- Faster playback bar response when loading, starting, resuming, or changing historical routes.
