Teltonika RMS Network Map

What is the RMS Network Map?

The Network Map is one of the most visually powerful features within Teltonika RMS. It transforms your device fleet from a list of entries in a table into a live, geographic picture of your deployment - allowing you to understand at a glance where your devices are, which ones are online, and which may need attention.

For businesses with devices deployed across multiple UK sites - or further afield - the network map becomes an essential operational tool. Rather than filtering through a list of device names to understand the health of your deployment, you can see the entire picture on a single map view, with each device's status immediately communicated through colour-coded markers.

How Device Locations are Determined

Device locations on the network map are determined in one of two ways. For Teltonika routers and gateways with built-in GPS capability, the device's current GPS coordinates are used automatically, meaning mobile or vehicle-mounted devices will move on the map as they travel. For fixed-site devices without GPS, coordinates can be manually entered through the device's RMS profile - typically the site address is geocoded and stored.

Network Map Status Indicators

Each device on the network map is represented by a marker that uses colour coding to indicate its current status:

Interacting with the Network Map

The RMS Network Map is fully interactive. You can pan and zoom to focus on specific regions or sites. Clicking on a device marker opens a pop-up displaying the device name, type, current status, cellular signal, firmware version and a direct link to the full device management page.

From the map pop-up, you can immediately initiate a remote access session or navigate to the device configuration - removing the need to switch back to the list view when you spot a device that needs attention on the map.

Filtering the Network Map

For large deployments with many devices, the network map includes filtering tools to help you focus on what matters. You can filter by:

• Device status (online only, offline only, warning only)
• Device group or company
• Tags applied to devices
• Device type or model

Applying a filter reduces the map to show only matching devices, making it straightforward to identify, for example, all offline devices in a particular region, or all devices in a specific customer's deployment that have signal warnings active.

Network Map for Mobile and Vehicle Deployments

For deployments involving mobile Teltonika routers - such as those fitted to vehicles, vessels or temporary site cabins - the GPS-driven network map provides live tracking. The device marker updates as the device moves, creating a real-time view of where each mobile asset currently is. Combined with RMS alerting, this can be used to trigger notifications when a device leaves an expected geographic boundary, providing a basic geofencing capability without additional hardware or software.

The Network Map as an Operational Tool

For network managers and IoT service teams, the network map transforms the morning operational check from a time-consuming review of individual device statuses into a ten-second visual scan. A fully green map means everything is working. Clusters of red or amber markers highlight where immediate attention is required. This situational awareness is invaluable for teams responsible for maintaining uptime across large estates of connected devices.
