Equipment

Equipment location data comes from Verizon Connect Reveal GPS tracking units installed on PSS vehicles and machinery.

How equipment location works​

Verizon Connect devices report their position approximately 4 times per day. The Command Center polls Verizon's API every 30 minutes to pick up any new positions. This means equipment locations on the map can be up to 30 minutes behind the most recent Verizon report.

This is a hardware constraint, not a software limitation. The devices themselves are the limiting factor in update frequency.

Equipment pins on the map​

Each tracked piece of equipment with a known GPS position appears as a pin on the map. Use the Equipment filter button at the top of the map to show only equipment pins.
