What is the meaning of the cluster icons sometimes displayed on the map?

Cluster icons are shown when multiple drivers (Driver Cluster) or vehicles (Several trucks) are in the same location; zooming in on the map may separate these clusters into individual icons, depending on the actual distance between the drivers or vehicles. Cluster icons may also be shown when viewing the breadcrumb trail for a single driver if multiple breadcrumb events (Driver action cluster) were recorded at the same place.

What is the meaning of the magnifying glass visible for some rows in the table?

If a row is preceded by a Find icon magnifying glass, the item in that row is associated with a GPS location that can be viewed on the map. Click the magnifying glass to center the map on the corresponding location and show location details.

* If there are many rows in the table, you may need to scroll up to see the location detail on the map.

What is a breadcrumb?

A breadcrumb is simply a point on the map. Breadcrumbs are used to show what events happened at what location. Various symbols are used throughout the map to denote the type of event that happened at each breadcrumb.
