Using a GPS tracking platform on a phone requires more than fitting a page onto a smaller screen. Controls must remain clear, actions must be easy to complete, and the information from each tracker must retain its value. This ALTAGAMA GPS update adapts existing management and configuration screens for mobile devices and organizes access to the dedicated phone experience through the mobile app.
The release also expands or corrects compatibility with Ruptela, Suntech, GPS103, and MiniFinder trackers, while improving attribute-based alerts. It combines more practical field operations with more reliable interpretation of data sent by different GPS devices.
ALTAGAMA GPS screens adapted for mobile phones
The screens and controls used to view or configure ALTAGAMA GPS features were reorganized to respond better to the space available on phones, tablets, and computers. Fields, selectors, buttons, lists, and work windows can adjust to the screen size, reducing the need to rely on a desktop computer for every task.
This adaptation helps users complete tracking work during a site visit, installation, or trip. A supervisor can review a device, adjust an available option, or consult operational information from a phone when a computer is not immediately available.
The specific actions available still depend on account permissions and tracker compatibility. The improvement focuses on making existing functions more usable on small screens.
The dedicated mobile experience moves to the app
ALTAGAMA GPS no longer presents a separate mobile version in the browser. The main website provides an adaptable interface, while the dedicated mobile experience remains available through the app.
This arrangement reduces duplicate choices for people signing in from a phone: the browser can display the responsive platform, and the app retains the experience designed for mobile use. Field teams get a clearer way to choose how they work while keeping tracking accessible across devices.
RFID identification for Ruptela trackers
Ruptela protocol compatibility was expanded to receive RFID information reported by supported devices. RFID can associate an electronic identifier with a card, tag, or another recognized item, depending on the tracker model and connected accessories.
When the hardware is configured to send this value, a business can relate the event to an identified driver, operator, or item. In a shared fleet, for example, the RFID value can add context about who used a vehicle. In another installation, it may represent a tag connected to an operational process.
The meaning and availability of the identifier depend on the Ruptela tracker, its peripherals, wiring, and installer configuration.
Support for Suntech binary messages
ALTAGAMA GPS added support for the binary format used by compatible Suntech trackers. The platform can therefore interpret messages from devices configured to communicate through this mode, in addition to previously supported options.
Customers and integrators gain more flexibility when connecting Suntech models while retaining the position and operational data included by the device in its messages. The information available in ALTAGAMA GPS always depends on the model, device version, and enabled transmission parameters.
GPS103 alarms interpreted correctly
The interpretation of alarms sent through the GPS103 protocol was corrected. Proper alarm recognition helps distinguish an ordinary position from a message that the tracker identifies as a relevant event.
In daily use, this gives operators better context when reviewing device activity and reduces the chance of losing the meaning communicated by the equipment. The alarm categories available depend on each GPS103 tracker's capabilities and configuration.
Better accuracy data for MiniFinder devices
The reading of accuracy information reported by MiniFinder devices was corrected to represent the received value more appropriately. Accuracy provides a reference for the estimated margin around a GPS position and helps users understand how much spatial confidence to assign to a point.
This information is useful when analyzing nearby locations, checking whether a position matches a road, or comparing points obtained under different signal conditions. It does not replace the physical quality of GPS reception: buildings, indoor placement, antennas, and satellite coverage still affect the result produced by the tracker.
More reliable attribute-based alerts
Alerts whose conditions depend on an attribute received or calculated for a position were also corrected. These rules let ALTAGAMA GPS evaluate information beyond geographic location whenever the device and its configuration provide the required attribute.
For an operation, this means a rule can focus on data relevant to its process and notify users when the defined condition is met. The correction improves consistency among the available attribute, alert evaluation, and the event presented to the user.
How this supports field operations
Consider a supervisor visiting a vehicle base. From a phone, the supervisor can use an adapted interface, review the tracker being installed, and confirm the information received. With a Ruptela device, the available RFID identifier can be checked. With Suntech, binary message reception can be verified. GPS103 and MiniFinder devices provide properly interpreted alarms and accuracy data.
Attribute-based alerts can then help the control center monitor the conditions defined for the operation. Mobile usability and protocol compatibility work together: one supports the people doing the work, while the other preserves the meaning of the data produced by the trackers.
