By default, the unit on the map is displayed by the icons assigned to them and their names (captions color is red). Icons for units can be selected from a standard set, e.g. , or you can upload your own image using the Unit Properties => Image dialog. In addition, the icon can rotate depending on the course (direction) of the unit. This feature is also defined in unit properties.

Icons overlapping each other on the map can be replaced by the common icon with a number indicator. To do this, select Display overlapping units in one icon in the User Settings dialog.

Unit icons can be replaced with motion state signs. This option is called Replace unit icons with motion state signs and is set in User Settings. The following symbols are possible:

• green arrow — the unit is moving, the direction of the arrow indicates the direction of movement;
• red square — the unit is not moving (if there is an ignition sensor, it also means that the unit is standing with the engine off);
• yellow circle — the unit is not moving with the engine on (only for units that have ignition sensors).

Besides, the colors of these icons (arrow, square, circle) can be different and depend on the value of sensor. This functionality is adjusted on the Advanced tab of unit properties. In other words, the shape of the icon is defined by the state (standing still — square, moving — arrow), and the color depends on the sensor value (intervals and colors are adjusted in sensor properties).

Unit names can be shown or hidden when displaying a unit on the map. It depends on the state of the () button in the layers menu on the map.

Monitoring units are conditionally divided into active and inactive ones. Inactive units are those units from which there have been no messages with data for more than 48 hours. Other units are considered active.

The system supports the possibility of differentiating unit states on the map. To do this, check the Blur icons of inactive units box in user settings. In this case inactive units are displayed on the map with blurred icons and transparent names. If the signs of motion are used instead of icons, then transparency is used both for signs and names. If the Display overlapping units in one icon box is checked in User Settings, and all the units with overlapping icons are inactive, then the icon for them is displayed blurry. Moreover, the icons of drivers or trailers bound to the inactive unit are also blurred until they are unbound.

LBS detection is an alternative method of finding units on the map. The accuracy of this method is inferior to determining the location using GPS, but if the unit experiences troubles with GPS connection you can switch to the LBS detection method. To do this, it is necessary to check the Allow positioning by cellular base stations box on the Advanced tab of the unit properties dialog. Therefore, if LBS detected data is more recent than GPS data, it is used to determine current location of the unit.

When using LBS detection, units are displayed on the map in the following way: the current icon of the unit is placed into a transparent white circle with a red dotted stroke, the brightness of the icon decreases.

If the unit is currently in motion, the green arrow shows the direction of its movement, and the unit can be followed by a blue tail (trace) which shows the track for the last few messages. If the unit is stationary (according to the last message), this arrow is not shown. If there was no motion within several latest messages, the trace is not shown (or the page has just been loaded). The length of the trace is 5 messages, however, it can be changed together with the trace width and color in User Settings.

Direction arrows, traces, the names of assigned drivers and units can be disabled. To do this, use the corresponding buttons in the layers menu on the map:

 — hide/show the traces of the unit;
 — hide/show the name of the unit;
 — hide/show the name of the assigned driver (if there are any);
 — hide/show the direction of movement of the unit.

If the names of both units and assigned drivers are enabled simultaneously, the latter are shown in parenthesis. The colors of the captions are taken from the units’ properties.
