This option allows you to keep track of the movements and configurations of the devices associated to your Plaspy account, you can also add trackers or phones to your user. 

All devices will be able to see the current track in kilometers. The mileage will be set to 0 from the first configuration, but you can change it once the device has started reporting its position in Plaspy. These kilometers traveled are approximate and may present some variations, to see how the trip is calculated you can check it in Mileage calculation.

Plaspy automatically detects what type of device is connected to your account, this information may be different depending on your device. Some examples of the types are: Android, IOS, Xexun, TK103, GPS103, GT06, etc. This is based on the communication protocol the tracker uses and does not necessarily match the make and model.
