GPS and the driver phone

The driver does not sign in to the panel. Their phone sends its position through the app Traccar Client, to one private address with a drv_… key. Only the company should know that address, not the customer.

How to connect a driver’s phone

1. In the list or on the driver card click Connect GPS.
2. The driver installs Traccar Client on the phone.
3. In the Configuration step copy the Address for the phone app and paste it into the app in the Server URL field. In Device identifier enter the driver’s name.
4. Until the first signal the card shows “Waiting for GPS”. The Signal step waits for it.
5. After the first signal the card shows “GPS active”, and the map knows where the driver is.

The concept: driver GPS. The Replace GPS address button invalidates the old address at once; paste the new one in the app afterwards, or the phone stops sending. Do not give drv_… to a customer — the customer has the /o/… link.

The phone connects only to the Delieta server. The driver does not paste a panel password and does not see other people’s jobs.

When Fleet is off, the server rejects GPS positions. Keys stay valid and work again once Fleet is on.

Offer without an address

Before the driver accepts a job, the phone shows the offer without the street and without the customer’s phone. The address and number appear after acceptance. If the driver rejects the job, they do not see them.

The same rule applies here as on the tracking page: whoever has not accepted the job does not get the customer’s details.

When a driver reports a problem from their phone (a stop, lateness, a request for contact), the panel shows an alert, not an easy-to-miss status on a pin.
