Global Map
All assets with a position on one map, with marker clustering, map and satellite views, custom marker icons and a side panel to search assets and filter by asset template.

IoT geofencing and GPS tracking for every asset on one map
See where every tracker, vehicle, bin or sensor is right now, replay where it has been, and let Widgelix react the moment an asset enters or leaves an area you draw on the map.

The problem
Location data is only useful when someone acts on it
Trackers report coordinates every few minutes, but a list of latitude and longitude values does not tell a dispatcher that a container left the yard or a vehicle is outside its zone. Teams end up checking maps by hand and finding out too late.
- Coordinates sit in a table nobody reads
- No alert when equipment leaves a site
- Stray GPS fixes cause false alarms
- Moving and fixed assets live in different tools
How it works
From GPS fix to automated response
- 01
Read position from the payload
Turn on “Take position from payload” in the asset template and name the latitude and longitude fields. Fixed assets can get coordinates entered by hand.
- 02
See assets on the map
The Global Map shows every asset with a position, clusters dense areas and opens a card with the latest values. Map widgets add route history to dashboards.
- 03
Draw geofences in Actions
Choose Geofence as the condition, draw circles or polygons, and pick “In the areas” or “Outside the areas”. The action alerts, escalates or sends a downlink.
Capabilities
Maps and geofences built into the platform
No separate tracking tool: location works with the same templates, dashboards and Actions as every other sensor.
Asset cards
Click a marker to see the latest payload values, last update time and coordinates, copy the asset ID or open the asset.
Geofences on the map
Show every geofence used by your Actions, see which actions use it and which assets are inside it right now.
Route history
The Map widget draws the route of one asset with direction arrows; the Asset Map widget shows several assets and their paths on a site dashboard. Pick the last hour, day, week, month or a date range.
Geofence conditions
Circle or polygon areas, several per condition, with “In the areas” or “Outside the areas” comparison. Place search helps you find the site quickly.
No false alarms from a single fix
Combine a geofence with temporal control, for example “outside the area for 10 minutes”, and with Trigger Once so the action re-arms only after the asset returns.
Assets selected on the map
When creating an action, choose “Select from map” to apply it to the assets inside an area you draw, instead of picking them from a list.
LoRaWAN and Sigfox trackers
Any tracker whose decoder outputs latitude and longitude works, whichever integration brings its data in.
Replay where assets have been
Map widgets connect positions into a route with direction arrows and show live values next to each asset, for example the temperature of a refrigerated truck or the fill level of a bin.

Where location matters
Questions about geofencing and GPS tracking
+Which trackers can I use?
Any GPS tracker whose payload contains latitude and longitude, over LoRaWAN, Sigfox or another supported integration. In the asset template you name the fields that hold the coordinates.
+How do I create a geofence?
In an Action, choose Geofence as the comparison type, open Select Geofence Areas and draw circles or polygons on the map. Choose whether the action fires when the asset is in or outside the areas.
+Can I see where an asset has been?
Yes. The Map widget shows the route of an asset for the last hour, day, week, month or a custom date range. The Asset Map widget does the same for several assets on a site dashboard.
+How do I avoid alerts from one bad GPS fix?
Add temporal control to the geofence condition, for example requiring the asset to stay outside the area for 10 minutes before the action fires.
+Do fixed sensors appear on the map too?
Yes. Assets without GPS can get fixed coordinates in their settings and appear on the Global Map next to moving assets.
