    Better usability

    Summing up the February achievements, we introduce our web interface upgrades. More than 20 usability improvements have been done and we will tell you about the valuable and useful ones.

    If you manage a great car park or a large staff, you definitely know the moment when the whole bunch of objects get together at one place. It might be an office, a garage or some building area where, for example, lots of vehicles could be gathered. In this case, it is difficult to recognize the mark on the map you want to operate with.

    We have developed the new function, which brings together objects into a cluster. The system combines the tracker markers according to their groups and assigns an appropriate color to each group. Click on a cluster and see its structure without increasing the scale of the map.

    «Clusterize tracker markers» function is enabled by default but you can easily switch it off by removing the check mark.

    You can easily browse the tracker settings by opening the context menu. Previously, you could bring up the menu by the right-click but it was not an evident option for everybody. It is more obvious now. Click on the icon, which is noticeable and easily accessible. You can find the icon near by the object name in the list or in the widget panel.

    Adding a tracking device is the first thing a user does starting Navixy experience. That is why the device activation should be simple and clear.

    Therefore, we duplicated the device activation button and now you can see it in the empty list of objects. Click on the button and our system will register your device automatically. Plug&Play activation is relevant for 8 out of 10 devices today.

    Moreover, we have considered a variety of customer preferences and technical details, whereupon provided the server address and port information for manual activation.
