The Live Map
See every vehicle's live position, driver status, and today's trips on the map.
Last updated July 19, 2026
The Live Map (sidebar → Operations → Live Map) shows where your fleet is right now. It's a full-screen map with one marker per driver/vehicle, updating automatically while you keep it open.
Reading the map
- Each vehicle appears as an arrow marker that rotates to its direction of travel, labeled with the driver's name and the vehicle.
- Green markers are online — the driver's app (or the vehicle's dash cam, depending on your settings) is actively reporting GPS. Gray markers are offline.
- The legend at the bottom-left explains the colors: Online, Offline, Pickup, Dropoff.
Positions refresh automatically every 30 seconds (paused while the browser tab is hidden, with a catch-up refresh when you return).
Map controls
- Traffic: On / Off — toggle the live traffic overlay.
- Fit all — zoom the map to show every vehicle at once.
Vehicle details
Click any vehicle marker to open its info card:
- Online / Offline status and Last ping (for example "Just now" or "5 min ago")
- Vehicle identity — fleet number, year, name, plate, VIN
- Driver currently on the vehicle
- Odometer and Current location (a readable address)
- Members onboard — who is in the vehicle right now
- Today's trips — the driver's trips with live status badges and a summary such as "2 on vehicle · 1 awaiting pickup"
Click View full details for the expanded vehicle panel.
Where the GPS comes from
- By default, positions come from the driver app, which shares location during the driver's shift at the interval you configure under Settings → Driver app (see Company settings tour). Pings stop when the driver clocks out.
- If your company has Dash Cam telematics enabled, you can switch the live map's location source to the dash cam under Settings → Telematics — the camera reports positions continuously without needing the driver app open. See Dash Cam.
Tip: A gray (offline) marker during a shift usually means the driver's app was force-closed or lost signal — or, on the dash cam source, the vehicle is powered off. Check Last ping on the vehicle card before calling the driver.
