Features
Read full description

The Track Star Installer app allows for installers, technicians, or others responsible parties to link and unlink GPS and other telematics devices to vehicles and assets in your fleet. It also allows for the setting and updating of reference odometer and reference engine hours readings in the Track Star system. All this is done to simplify the install process and minimize the amount of system data available outside of what is needed for device installation purposes.
