Support: Locate GPS Notification Condition Types and Combination Rules

A notification can use one or more conditions to decide when it should be triggered. This guide explains the available condition types and how they work together with logical operators such as AND and OR.

Condition Types

Notification conditions are grouped by category.

Unit Location

These conditions are based on where the unit is located:

  • Address
  • Geofence entry
  • Geofence exit
  • Unit proximity

Speed Control

These conditions track speed and movement:

  • Custom speed range
  • Inactivity
  • Road speed limits

Sensors and Parameters

These conditions monitor sensor activity and parameter values:

  • Alarm
  • Digital input
  • Sensor range
  • Sensor value
  • Parameter state

Fuel and Energy

These conditions monitor fuel and battery activity:

  • Battery charging
  • Fuel drain
  • Fuel filling

Connectivity

This condition checks the device connection:

  • Connection status

Data Transmission

These conditions monitor communication and messaging:

  • Health status
  • SMS
  • Message limit

RFID Tags

These conditions track RFID identification:

  • Trailer assignment
  • Driver assignment
  • No driver assigned
  • Passenger assignment
  • Passenger not separated

Other Conditions

Additional monitoring options:

  • Maintenance
  • Route activity

How Conditions Can Be Combined

A notification can include up to three conditions.

Some conditions can be combined, while others must be used alone.

Conditions That Can Be Combined

The following conditions can work together:

  • Address
  • Geofence entry
  • Geofence exit
  • Unit proximity
  • Custom speed range
  • Inactivity
  • Road speed limits
  • Alarm
  • Digital input
  • Sensor range
  • Sensor value
  • Parameter state
  • Battery charging
  • Fuel drain
  • Fuel filling
  • Connection status
  • No driver assigned

Important Rules:

  • If you use Battery charging, Fuel drain, Fuel filling, Connection status, or Inactivity with other conditions, select one of these first.
  • No driver assigned cannot be used as the first condition. It can only be added as the second or third condition.

Conditions That Cannot Be Combined

These conditions must be used by themselves in a notification:

  • Health status
  • SMS
  • Message limit
  • Trailer assignment
  • Driver assignment
  • Passenger assignment
  • Passenger not separated
  • Maintenance
  • Route activity

Using Three Conditions

You can combine up to three conditions in one notification.

When three conditions are used, the system always checks the first two conditions first, then applies the third:

(Condition 1 OP1 Condition 2) OP2 Condition 3

  • OP1 = operator between Condition 1 and Condition 2
  • OP2 = operator between the result and Condition 3

If All Operators Are the Same

AND + AND

All three conditions must be true.

OR + OR

Any one of the three conditions can trigger the notification.

Mixed Operator Examples

OR then AND

Formula: (A OR B) AND C

Trigger:
 Condition C must be true, and either A or B must also be true.

Example:

(Geofence entry OR Speed above 80 km/h) AND Ignition ON

Result:
 The notification triggers when the ignition is ON, and either:

  • the unit enters the geofence, or
  • the speed is above 80 km/h

AND then OR

Formula: (A AND B) OR C

Trigger:
 Both A and B must be true together, or C can trigger it by itself.

Example:

(Geofence exit AND Speed above 80 km/h) OR Ignition OFF

Result:
 The notification triggers when either:

  • the unit exits the geofence and is traveling above 80 km/h, or
  • the ignition is OFF
