View GPS data

The GPS transmitter continuously transmit your standard location information directly to geoCapture via GPS coordinates. With the connection to geoCapture, in BUSINESS the current position of the vehicles can be displayed with a GPS transmitter.

The beacons do not send any GPS data themselves. For the localization of beacons a GPS receiver is required. This can be a stationary gateway (e.g. workshop, building yard) or a GPS receiver in a vehicle. If a GPS receiver locates a beacon, it sends the GPS coordinates as well as the date and time to geoCapture. This means that devices with beacons in BUSINESS the position at which the beacon was last electronically "seen" are displayed.

In the device management of DATAflor BUSINESS have you on the tab geocapture Access to the GPS data from geoCapture.
