This article explains how to see what a vehicle was doing, row by row, across a day or date range.

  • If the vehicle moved at all in an interval, the row shows Driving. Idle means it was stationary the whole time.
  • Battery-powered devices show movement start and stop instead of ignition, plus Activity Duration and Position Accuracy.
  • Vehicles with OBM also show gross and axle mass.
