Managing Devices

Devices are GPS trackers installed in your vehicles. They report location, speed, and other telemetry data to NexaBus. This page lets you add, configure, and monitor all your tracking devices.

Viewing Devices

The Devices table displays:

• Category: Type of device (e.g., GPS tracker)
