Is Via Satellites Web Service map and report information real-time?
Almost. The in-vehicle unit transmits GPS position data to the servers, which in turn updates your web pages. Updates are transmitted at standard intervals. This provides timely location updates, while avoiding the data-overload problems that come with continuous position updates. The web site maps display asset position as updates are received. You control settings for how often the maps update. So depending on how frequently maps update – also depending on when vehicle reports were last received – location data can be virtually real-time!
