Example installation in a private vehicle
MGS30 device was installed directly on the battery of a private vehicle.
When the vehicle starts moving (with or without ignition turned on) the tracker wakes up and starts tracking.
In the FCPlus main screen you can have a total overview of the fleet of assets or vehicles, and by selecting specific asset/vehicle, you can have trip data by selecting “Open Track” option.
