- Traffic: Shows real-time traffic status
- Satellite: Shows a satellite (aka Google Earth) view
- Places: Shows the Places you've saved in your account
- Clustering: Groups nearby vehicles together into a cluster icon - great for large accounts. See this article for more details.
- Nicknames: Shows vehicle nicknames in pins instead of vehicle images
2. Use the Zoom icons or double click to zoom in on the map.
3. Drag the "Street View" guy to a road to see a real picture of the road.
4. Right Click anywhere on the map to Add a Place, or find nearby vehicles.
Monitor Real Time Location
Live Map shows real time locations for up to 100 vehicles in your account. Click on a Vehicle in the Vehicle List (right side) to zoom into the vehicle.
Vehicle Icon Colors
Vehicle icons are color coded based on the vehicle status:
- Driving - Vehicle is in Motion
- Parked - Vehicle is Parked
- Disconnected - Device has been disconnected
- No Device - No device is installed
- Power Down - Device has powered down
- No GPS- Device is not getting a GPS Signal
Vehicle Status
On the right side of the screen, vehicles are listed including current location and health status.
The date/time reflects the last location update - this can be based on a trip, or a "heartbeat" between trips.
To find the 5 closest vehicles/drivers to a location, you can:
1. Right Click anywhere on the map, and choose "Find Nearby Vehicles".
2. Click on a saved Place Icon.
3. Search for an address or Place.
Zubie shows you the nearby vehicles, accounting for traffic as well as distance.
Clicking "Directions" will open Google Maps and allow you to share directions with a driver.
View Trip History
To view trips for a vehicle, first select the vehicle by clicking on the icon on the map, or choosing the vehicle in the list, like this
Click Trips to bring up a map and a list of trips for the most recent day with vehicle activity, which looks like this:
This will display 1) a Trip Stats section (on the right), which summarizes driving metrics for the selected time period, and 2) a History Map, which highlights the driving route plus driving events and 3) a detailed map inset of the end location of the trip, allowing you a quick overview without requiring zooming the map. For vehicles equipped with Zubie Dashcams, this will include a photo as well.
The trip trail is color coded based on speed limit compliance.
Red = Major Speeding
Yellow = Minor Speeding
On the map, just click any point to see the speed and speed limit. The red icons indicate a driving event, such as a hard brake, rapid accel, or high speed.
Edit Trips: Tags & Drivers
Completed trips can be edited for improving downstream analysis and scoring data.
Tagging
Tags can be used to identify personal versus business trips. All tags are saved and can be used for filtering your trip export report, or for integrating with expense tools like Expensify.
To tag trips:
1. Select or more trips in the Trip List.
2. Click the "Tag" icon in the top of the trip section, and choose the tag you want to apply, or click "Remove" to clear tags from selected trips.
Changing Drivers
Zubie scores, and all driver-based reporting, relies on the correct driver being assigned to a vehicle before a trip begins. If this is missed for some reason, you can edit the driver here for one or more trips.
To change:
1. Select or more trips in the Trip List.
2. Click the Driver dropdown in the top of the trip section, and choose the driver you want to apply.
Trip stats and the dashboard will be updated (it will take 15-30 minutes before the dashboard reflects the change).
Monitor Vehicle Health
Checkout the current vehicle status directly in Live Map.
Vehicle Health includes the battery level, check engine light codes (if any), fuel level (if reported by the vehicle), odometer, and maintenance reminders.
1. To view health, select a vehicle via the map, list or search.
2. Click the "Overview" link on the card. Note that the card also shows basic health information including battery level.
Once you click "Overview," from the next screen, click "Health" for details on diagnostic codes, or click "Maintenance" to check service history and maintenance reminders.
Manage Maintenance Reminders
To manage maintenance reminders, navigate to a vehicle using the steps above. Click the Maintenance section to view all reminders, and service history.
