How to Easily Complete a Linxup GPS Map Update

Linxup’s mapping system provides live, cloud-synced vehicle tracking powered by Google Maps and enhanced with practical features. Maps aren’t downloaded to your device—instead, map data updates in real time through the Linxup platform. This guide covers everything you need to stay current and accurate.

                                   

1. Understand Linxup Map Updates

• Linxup’s Live GPS Map shows your fleet’s locations in near real time, refreshing every minute when vehicles are moving and once an hour when idle.

• Map tiles and street data come from Google Maps; updates rely on those cloud streams, ensuring you always see the latest road layouts and traffic.

2. Refresh Your Map View

• Desktop/Web: Open the Map page—vehicles will automatically appear or update based on their latest ping. Use zoom, filters, or map layer options freely.

• Mobile App: Your fleet’s positions update as long as the device is connected and tracking. You can manually refresh by pulling down or tapping the map icon.

3. Customize Map Options

Within the Map Options dropdown on the web portal:

• Choose map types (standard, satellite, hybrid).

• Enable live traffic overlays.

• Activate Pulse Approximate Locations for cellular fallback—shows a blue circle when GPS is spotty.

• Switch distance units (miles ↔ kilometers), enable clustering or labels, and update speed limit references.

• Access the Map Legend to interpret icons and vehicle statuses.

4. View Live Data & Features

Linxup\’s Live Map offers key real-time insights:

• See location, stop/idle durations, and vehicle-speed indicators.

• Access route replay, geofence/device alerts, share ETAs, and view maintenance logs with a few clicks.

• If equipped, access Linxup Dash Cam video directly from a vehicle icon.

5. Troubleshooting Map Update Issues

Problem	Likely Cause	Fix
Map not updating (stale data)	Device offline or out of cell/GPS range	Ensure IGN is on, check OBD-II plug, restore signal
Map tiles outdated (road missing)	Google Maps cache or not reloaded	Refresh browser, clear cache, zoom out and back in
Cellular fallback circle always shows	GPS weak or Pulse feature enabled	Check device placement, enable Pulse for visibility
Speed limits don’t match map	Outdated provider data	Re-enable speed-limit via Map Options to sync new data

6. Maintain Map Accuracy

• Enable Pulse Approximate Locations for fallback data where GPS is poor.

• Ensure trackers remain powered in the OBD-II port—if unplugged, tracking stops until reconnected.

• Drive vehicles outdoors occasionally to reinforce GPS accuracy.

• Clear cache on desktop or mobile to force load the most recent map tiles.

7. Pro Tips for Enhanced Tracking

• Regularly check that mobile and web apps are updated.

• Use Share ETA to provide clients with live links to your drivers.

• Customize geofences, alerts, and map label visibility via the Map toolbar.

• Integrate Dash Cam video to correlate incidents with tracking data—accessible via map icons.

✅ Step‑by‑Step Map Refresh Summary

1. Open Linxup map on web or mobile.

2. Confirm trackers are connected and sending updates (every minute moving).

3. In Map Options, select your preferred map type and enable enhancements.

4. Manually refresh the map if needed (desktop pull-to-refresh, mobile tap to refresh).

5. Clear cache or reload browser after major map inconsistencies.

6. Reconnect device if offline; verify GPS/OBD-II power.

7. Report any persistent discrepancies to support or rely on Google Maps updates.

Final Thoughts

Linxup’s GPS map is a dynamic, cloud-driven interface designed for live tracking and real-time situational awareness—no manual map downloads required. By keeping devices powered, using map customization tools, and refreshing views when needed, you’ll always have the most accurate picture of your fleet’s movements.
