This specifies how many minutes TrackIt should wait to receive a GPS location fix from a vehicleAll machines used as a means of production on a construction site or at a batch plant.. If no update to the GPS location is received prior to the threshold set here, then the vehicle is removed from the Equipment Map. When the vehicle resumes sending a GPS position, it appears on the map.

By default, this is set to 60.

Some of this information is obtained through a supported onboard computer (OBCA vehicle data monitoring device that collects diagnostic information sent by the ECU and reports it to TrackIt.) (OBC) or engine data controller (EDC) connected to the vehicle's electronic control unitAlso known as an engine control module, this device controls engine performance by monitoring data reported by myriad built-in sensors. This data is interpreted by the ECU and then relayed to engine diagnostic hardware, such as an OBC or EDC. (ECUAlso known as an engine control module, this device controls engine performance by monitoring data reported by myriad built-in sensors.
