| Plot Vehicle Icons on the Map |
The AVL Tracker displays on a map the last known location of each vehicle in the fleet. You can filter the vehicles to display only those you are interested in. |
| Control Zooming and Panning |
Standard Zoom In and Zoom Out controls are used along with Max Zoom and Min Zoom buttons to reduce the number of clicks needed to zoom in or out. You can also pan across the map to see locations outside the current view. |

Vehicle icons are color coded based on their status--whether they are running early, on-time, late, etc. |

Clicking on a vehicle icon displays information for that vehicle and any vehicles in the immediate area. Information includes location, speed, on-time status, etc. |
