Ocean - Understand Location History & Map
Who doesn't love seeing exactly where their container is on a map? Want to overlay weather radar to make sure no hurricanes 🌀 are going to impact your vessel? Say no more.
The Location History tab is located next to the Tripsheet tab in the load detail view. Location History is a log of every update captured throughout the life of the tracking session on the water. Data points include estimated city and country but often may just list coordinates when in the middle of the ocean. Note: Not every ocean carrier will supply on the water updates. The vast majority will but there may be a few who only send in-transit statuses messages.
Looking at the map, the red octagons are the port locations based on the addresses and coordinates in the tripsheet. Zoom in on the map to get a very granular view of the port.
The most recent location update on the session is highlighted black. Quickly get a snapshot of the update by hovering over the dot.
Last, to overlay live weather, click the sun icons atop the bottom table. Note: Weather is a real-time feed and not stored historically.
