It includes information such as the currently assigned driver and tracker as well as some standard vehicle fields. For calls that result in positions, data is returned in a VehiclePositionDataSet. Note that the unique VehicleId field is important as a number of other calls in the system require this as a […]

Here are some of the most useful. You might encounter an event that doesn’t appear here. If you are unsure, just ask! […]
