Monitoring devices

Who can do it: Customer user
Where: Wialon Platform mobile app

The Devices tab is the main screen of the mobile app. It combines a live map view with a device list, giving you real-time visibility of your fleet on the go. You can track device locations, check their status, and navigate to any device directly from the map.

Map view

The top part of the screen displays an interactive map with device icons. You can pinch to zoom, drag to pan, and tap device icons to view details.

Device icons on the map

The shape of a device icon on the map tells you the current movement state of the device at a glance:

Shape Example Movement state
Drop Drop Icon Moving
Octagon Octagon Icon Stopped
Circle Circle Icon Idling
Square Square Icon Parked
Diamond Diamond Icon Offline

The color of each icon is taken from the device properties configured by the service provider in Wialon Platform Studio.

When multiple devices are close to one another, they are grouped into a cluster with a number showing how many devices are located in the area. Zoom in to see individual devices.

Device list

The bottom part of the screen displays the list of your devices. Swipe up on the list to expand it and see more devices; swipe down to return to the map view.

Each device row in the list shows the device name and its current address. The specific chips and data fields displayed for each device are configured by the service provider in Wialon Platform FleetSpace on the web. The device information in the list can include the assigned driver name, connection status, speed, sensor data and more.

See how to configure basic widgets for the device list on the Setting up widgets in the device list page.

Searching for devices

To find a specific device, tap the search icon in the Devices header and type the device name.

Device details

Tap a device in the list to open its details. The device details screen shows the device location on the map along with key information configured by the service provider for your workspace.

The chips, data fields, and widgets displayed in the device details screen depend on the workspace configuration set up by the service provider in Wialon Platform FleetSpace. The layout may look different for each workspace.

See how to configure basic widgets for the device details on the Setting up widgets in the device details page.
