How do I work with Movement in Asset home?

Knowing the location of an asset at a particular point in time is important when checking up on routes, arrival times, or potential theft.

Updated this week

Log in to Trackunit Manager

  1. Navigate to the Asset page from the left-side navigation, and click on the asset you are interested in.

  2. From Asset Home, select the Movement tab on the left-side menu.

From here, you can:

  • Uncover an asset's whereabouts

  • Quickly identify where your assets spent the most time using the Heatmap option

  • Optimize an asset's movement by looking up the trips it took

  • Get the full picture of what happened when an asset broke down

Uncover an asset's whereabouts

  1. Select List by geolocation from the dropdown menu.

  2. Select the date or date range that you are interested in.

This provides a list of the asset's geolocations at specific times, including the registered address, longitude, latitude, and a corresponding marker displayed on the map.

💡 Tip: The geolocations list can display up to 4,000 points at a time while the Map can display 600 points at a time. To display up to 4,000 points on the map, use the Heatmap and/or Connect Route Map options.


By tracing the asset's whereabouts and its location on the map, you can gain insight into its daily activities—whether it was at the designated job site or, in cases of theft, where it was last seen.



Quickly identify where your assets spent the most time using the Heatmap option

  1. Select List by geolocation from the dropdown menu.

  2. Select the date or date range with a high number of received geolocations.

  3. Click on Connect route below the map to deactivate it and focus solely on the Heatmap.

Focus on the red areas on the map to see where assets spent the most time.

Optimize an asset's movement by reviewing the trips it took

  1. Select List by trips from the dropdown menu.

  2. Select the date or date range that you are interested in.

  3. Click on any point on the map to see further details, or use the time slider below the map to go through all points chronologically.

💡 Tip: Click on each trip to see more details such as driven distance, time driven and max speed for the individual trip.

Above the trips list, there are indicators for Driven distance and Total duration, which summarize all the trips within the selected timeframe.

You can view the driver's route from point A to point B, verify whether they passed the required checkpoints, completed the deliveries, and how much time they spent at different locations.

A trip is defined as the movement of an asset above a certain speed threshold with the ignition on. The purpose is to capture long-range movement rather than the daily operations of an asset at a job site.

Note: Trips are only available for assets equipped with a Trackunit device. Third party devices are not supported.



​Get the full picture of what happened when an asset broke down

  1. Select List by geolocation from the dropdown menu.

  2. Select the date or date range that you are interested in.

  3. Click on any of the geolocations in the list, and select/click on Insights.

This will take you to Insights, zoomed in on the selected hour interval (30 minutes before and after).


You can select other parameters to compare and link asset health readings with a location and time to gain a full understanding of what happened to that asset at that particular location and time.

Environmental surroundings can help you understand asset breakage or question an operator's actions at a specific moment and location.
