Option to enable bus tracking on certain routes for office use only.

Question

Good morning, Its possible to add a option to only enable bus tracking on the GPS portal on certain routes for office use only, and not for the parents?

We don't want to turn on the tracking for the bigger kids, but we still want the dispatcher to be able to track and follow the bus progress.

 

Thank you

Can you elaborate various reasons.

Added. If you change the name of the GPS Name to Hide it will not be available thru the phone.

Thank you for your great work!

 

Where do i need to change name?

---

In the bus route tab, there is a column called GPS Name.

Dont have a column with "GPS Name."

On the route. Not on the bus. If you cannot find it call in to support.

1 Small issue, after adding the GPS name the system does not allow you to delete it, it pops up a error

Update. It will allow deleting.

Its possible to add a option to hide one bus on a route but not all buses?

For example: today the tracking on one bus went offline in the middle of the route, all parents heard that the bus is still on the last known location so a few kids missed the bus, I would like to have the option to turn off the tracking till the end of the route so the parents should not get confused and misinformed, and the hide option looks like a simple way to do it, But currently the hide option is only availible to block the entire route with all buses.

Added. You can add to the GPSSetting column the word Hide to hide a bus. Or change to LocationOnly and it will only tell the parents the location of the bus.

In order for this to work, your GPS system needs to be updated.
