Asset Simulator

The asset simulator lets you easily test GpsGate without any hardware tracker or smartphone is necessary. You can generate track and input data for testing, demos, and training.

Note: the simulator is only available for the pay-as-you-go model, and is not available if you're using legacy licenses.

• You will see your assets (using the asset simulator) moving towards the desired destination on the map
• You can add multiple destinations for each unit to complete the trip
• The movement will have realistic speed according to road speed limits
• You can start/stop asset movement at any time
• Set a new destination with a right-click
• Change input values (e.g. speed, temperature)

How to use the GpsGate's Simulator:

1. Log into a new application or existing one.

2. Either use the Test now with GpsGate's simulator shortcut in the Guide and follow the instructions.

OR

By clicking on the drop-down arrow beside + Add asset... in the Assets panel and select 'Add Simulator...'.

Want to test your event rules or generate more complex data?

The simulator supports several variables automatically: temperature, fuel level, SOS, speed, and harsh braking/turning/acceleration. Only temperature and fuel level are visible in the below image - scroll down to see more variables. You can also add other inputs from the device mapper.
