Reverse Geocoding

Feature Summary

Reverse Geocoding converts latitude and longitude coordinates into human-readable addresses, landmarks, or place names. This adds context to raw GPS data, making it easier to identify exactly where an asset is located for tracking and reporting.

Additional Information

Note!

Reverse Geocoding is automatically enabled for assets. You can choose to view, hide, or show street addresses in asset position reports using the following instructions.

How-To: View Reverse Geocoding

In the Navigation menu select “Assets”
Click the “Asset Options” gear icon next to the desired asset to edit
Click on “Positions”
The position reports available will show street addresses above the assets latitude and longitude location unless reverse geocoding has been hidden.

How-To: Hide Reverse Geocoding

In the Navigation menu select “Assets”
Click the “Asset Options” gear icon next to the desired asset to edit
Click on “Edit Asset”
Expand the “Settings” tab
