Frequently Asked Questions


1. What causes the variation in distance between odometer and GPS readings?
First and foremost, the data differs because it’s obtained in different ways. Odometer data is received through various electro-mechanical converters and depends on the wheel speed, while GPS fleet tracking system data is obtained by mathematical calculations of the vehicle’s location according to the navigation satellites.

2. Why I cannot see odometer readings for my vehicle on the online map? 
Not all telematic devices are equipped with the ability to read odometer data. However, if your telematic device can normally read odometer data, but you suddenly notice that this information is missing, it could be due to issues with device connectivity, technical malfunctions, or internal errors in the vehicle itself.
