Why use Positions
Purpose I: View position
SCALAR allows you to view the current position of an asset, a driver, or the entire fleet.
Purpose II: View historical positions
SCALAR allows you to retrieve the position history of an asset or a driver. The position history can be visualized as a route on the map and displays the position of an asset or driver at a given moment in time. When combined with the speed source, it could indicate where a driver lost time or where a driver deviated from an expected route.
Use Cases

- View the trace of an asset on the map, in order to view where an asset was located at in a specified timeframe.
