Lesson 1Trip segmentation and geo-fence events: start/stop detection, dwell time, zone entry/exitIt shows how basic location points come together as trips and stops using speed, ignition, and geofences. It covers finding starts and stops, time spent waiting, entering and leaving zones, and choices for setup that fit different fleet needs.

It includes standard codes and those from makers, how serious they are, and steps for fixing and checking from afar.
