On the Map tab, you can locate an individual bus and watch it live. To track a vehicle on the map, follow these steps:

Note: To see how to view an entire group of vehicles, go to Tracking a Group of Vehicles.

  1. Log in to the CalAmp K-12 mobile app. (See Logging In and Out for details, if needed.)
     
    The Filter Vehicles screen will appear.
      
  2. Tap the group name containing the vehicle you want to track.
     
  3. Tap the Vehicle List tab.
     
    The app will display a list of the vehicles in that group.
     
    Note: You can search for the vehicle by tapping in the Search bar at the top, typing its name/number, and then tapping .
  4. Tap the name of the bus.
     
    The Vehicle Details page will appear, showing the vehicle's activity for today.
      
  5. Tap the Watch tab to watch the bus live.
     
    The vehicle will appear on the map, which will automatically be refreshed every 30 seconds to show its latest position.
      
    This is the data you'll find in the grid:
     
    • Vehicle: The identifier for the vehicle, usually the bus number.
       
    • Time: The date and time of the last event reported to CalAmp by the vehicle's GPS device.
       
    • Event: The last event reported to CalAmp by the vehicle's GPS device.
       
    • Speed: The vehicle's current speed in miles or kilometers per hour.
       
    • Heading: If the vehicle is in motion, the direction it is heading.
       
    • Location: The vehicle's current address (or zone).
       
    • RSSI: RSSI stands for received signal strength indicator, which measures how well the vehicle's device can obtain a signal. (RSSI's scale is from -26 to -100, and values higher than -60 are good.)
       
    • SATS: The GPS satellite count. (A number of 8 or higher indicates that the bus's LMU has reliable connectivity.)
       
  6. You can tap  at the bottom right of the map to turn on Satellite view. (Tap it again to turn off Satellite view.)
     
  7. You can tap and drag the map to view different areas.
     
  8. You can pinch on the map and move your fingers together to zoom out or pinch and move them apart to zoom in; however, the view will revert to the default zoom when the screen refreshes.
     
  9. You can rotate your view by placing two fingers on the map and turning them, but again, the view will return to north being up upon refresh.
