| BLE beacon | The widget displays the connection state of the BLE beacon paired with the unit.

| Send position | The function allows sending the coordinates of the unit to the Wialon server when you tap the widget. To determine the unit location, the application uses Google algorithms which allow identifying the coordinates by means of GPS, Wi-Fi and cell stations. |
When you send data to the monitoring system, the location of the unit (if it was possible to determine it) and the time of the message are also sent.
