Understanding Events and Alerts in Titan GPS

Titan GPS offers a wide variety of device events and alerts that can help you monitor your vehicles, equipment, and driver behavior. Below, you’ll find a categorized list of the different types of device events that are available within the system.

Note: The availability of certain alerts depends on the type of GPS device installed and its configuration. All devices may not support some alerts, while others could require custom programming. If there’s a specific alert you’d like to enable that isn’t currently active on your account, feel free to contact our support team—we’re happy to help you configure your devices to fit your needs.
