ALTAGAMA GPS lets users locate vehicles and assets, review historical routes, analyze moving and stopped time, receive sensor data, and manage subscriptions from one platform. This update redesigned the map timeline to make a route easier to understand, added BLE sensor compatibility for GT06 devices, and simplified payments within the account.
The improvements are designed for operations that need to understand not only where a vehicle was, but what happened during each segment. A business can distinguish movement, stops, idling, and sensor activity; review trip metrics; incorporate wireless measurements; and keep service available through a more direct payment process.
A New Visual Timeline for GPS Route Analysis
The ALTAGAMA GPS timeline organizes device activity throughout the selected period. Instead of presenting only a list of positions, the new view turns the route into a visual bar and segments that make status changes easier to recognize.
Colors represent operational situations:
- Green: periods when the vehicle was moving.
- White: intervals when the vehicle was stopped.
- Gray: time identified as idling.
- Lower blue bar: Sensor 1 activity, such as a signal configured as engine on.
This representation helps identify patterns without reviewing every position. A coordinator can locate a long stop, compare how much time a unit spent moving, or verify whether a sensor signal coincided with a specific route segment.
Segments with Duration, Speed, Distance, and Starting Address
Each timeline segment displays information that explains the route: duration, speed, distance, and the address associated with its starting point. The address turns coordinates into a reference that operators, customers, and field personnel can understand.
For example, when investigating a late delivery, a supervisor can locate the segment, review where it began, how long it lasted, and the speed involved. During route analysis, the supervisor can distinguish a true stop from idling and relate the information to sensor activity.
A Complete Trip Summary
The view also brings together general metrics for the selected period:
- Total distance traveled.
- Maximum and average speed.
- Moving time and stopped time.
- Sensor activity recorded during the route.
- Estimated fuel consumption when the required data is available.
The summary avoids manual calculations and supports comparisons between workdays, vehicles, or routes. Figures depend on position quality, device configuration, and available sensors, and should be interpreted in their operational context.
Clearer Navigation Through the Selected Period
The timeline was integrated as a map control with a structure that adapts to different screen sizes. Users can move through activity while maintaining the relationship between the selected segment and its geographic information.
Date selection and segment rebuilding were also adjusted so changing the period behaves more predictably. This is particularly useful when moving from a specific event to a full-day analysis.
BLE Sensors for Devices Using the GT06 Protocol
BLE stands for Bluetooth Low Energy, a wireless technology designed to exchange small amounts of information with low power consumption. In this update, ALTAGAMA GPS added interpretation of BLE data sent by compatible devices that use the GT06 protocol family.
The function lets a tracker receive information from nearby sensors and include it in messages sent to ALTAGAMA GPS. Depending on the device and accessory, readings may include temperature, fuel level, door status, or other supported inputs.
The Advantage of a Wireless Connection
A BLE sensor can reduce wiring between the measurement point and the GPS tracker. This supports installations where running cables is difficult, where the sensor is located on a moving part, or where a measurement must be added without extensively modifying the vehicle or asset.
In refrigerated transport, a compatible sensor can provide temperature. In a tank, it can report fuel level. In a cargo box or container, a door sensor can report opening and closing. ALTAGAMA GPS can preserve this data with location so it has time and geographic context.
Compatibility Requirements and Limits
Not every GT06 device supports BLE, and not every sensor uses the same format. Availability depends on the tracker model, version, accessory, configuration, and message types implemented by the manufacturer.
Before installation, the integrator should confirm that the tracker can pair with the chosen sensor and transmit the applicable reading. ALTAGAMA GPS interprets compatible information it receives, while final accuracy also depends on sensor installation and calibration.
Bold Payments for Subscription Management
ALTAGAMA GPS replaced PayU with Bold as the integrated payment method on subscription and related-service pages. When Bold is available for the account, users can recognize it by name before starting the transaction.
After choosing a compatible plan, renewal, or service, an administrator can select Bold, complete payment, and return to ALTAGAMA GPS to review the operation result.
This supports renewals or service expansions with fewer page changes and clearer identification of the method being used. Bold availability, currencies, taxes, and conditions depend on the country, account, and purchase type.
Custom Mobile App Compatibility with Android 16
The custom version of the ALTAGAMA GPS Android app was updated to work with Android 16. This benefits organizations that distribute a mobile app under their own identity and need to maintain compatibility with recent devices.
The update helps preserve access to the map, devices, and authorized functions when users replace a phone or update its operating system. Custom-app availability depends on the purchased service and its publication process.
More Useful Route Addresses
The information used to describe addresses was adjusted to recognize surrounding elements such as roads and built references more effectively. This complements each segment's starting address and helps explain a position without relying only on latitude and longitude.
An address is an estimated reference derived from the GPS position. It can vary with map coverage and point accuracy, so critical operations should also review the marker on the map.
Real-World Applications of This Update
- Urban distribution: identify stops, idling, and moving segments to explain delivery times.
- Refrigerated transport: connect a BLE temperature reading with the place and time in the route.
- Fuel control: review the value transmitted by a compatible sensor and compare it with distance traveled.
- Cargo security: review door openings reported by a BLE accessory within trip history.
- Maintenance and driving: compare speed, distance, stopped time, and engine activity during a workday.
- Account administration: complete a renewal or expansion with Bold when it appears among the available payment methods.
- Branded operations: keep a custom mobile app working on phones with Android 16.
How to Start Using the Improvements
To analyze a route, open the Map, select a device, and choose the required period. The Timeline guide explains the visual control, while Viewing a Device's Route History describes access to historical data.
For sensors, see Sensors and confirm with the equipment supplier that the GT06 tracker and BLE accessory are compatible. Correct transmission should be verified before using the data for operational decisions.
For commercial administration, see Subscription and Payment Methods. Mobile application information is available in Mobile App.
