How to GPS Track Drivers

This article describes how to GPS Track Drivers in IDS 2 Dispatch PC Client.

From the Drivers Board (How to Use The Drivers Boards to Monitor Shipments and Drivers and reassign Shipments)

1. Right click anywhere on Drivers Board
2. Then select "Map Drivers".
   
   (This will open the GPS Driver Map in your Internet Browser (Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, etc).
3. Locate the driver(s) you wish to track by ticking the box beside their name.
   
   (please note, the GPS map uses Cookies to save which drivers have been ticked so that when you open up the map in again, it will remember how you left it).
4. To find a driver, you can:
   1. Select Control and F at the same time. Then type in the name of that driver.
      
   2. Use the scroll bar located to the right of the list of drivers
      
5. If you tick a driver and the map is locating them off the coast of Africa. That means the phone is not sending the IDS 2 App GPS Coordinates, for help with this, please read this article: GPS Tracking Issue

Driver stops

Every time a driver has stopped for more than 10 minutes in a 110 meter area a red octagon is drawn surrounding the area. Attached to the octagon is an info box showing the stopping and leaving time and a location pin which, when clicked, displays an ''approximate'' address of the location.
