Set your trackers time zone to UTC+0

When configuring your trackers to connect to GpsGate, the best option is to set them to use UTC+0. This allows proper tracker message handling by the server. 

Most trackers support this setting by default. If your tracker is not using UTC+0 configuration, alternatively, you can set the Time Zone using metafields.

Setting the time-zone meta field

Note: this method is supported only by some tracker models.

1. Make sure the server localization is properly set according to your time zone.

2. Go to Site Admin (Legacy) > Devices > Types 

3. Select the Device Type you want to change the time zone for.

Your server is now ready to handle your tracker's messages with their time configuration.
