I have a keep Truckin Eld. I recently noticed that when I am in the driving mode the Eld shows me loca on the log. In some cases the location is where I started driving. In other cases, maybe a location from earlier in the day. Shouldn't location spot the blank when in the driving mode. I have been working with keep Truckin for about a month and each time they have me reboot. They sent me a new Eld and that does the same thing. Now they have to be rebooting it. A bit of madness doing the same thing over and over. Should a location appear when in the driving mode and has anyone else had this problem.
Thanks, aFrank

Mine doesn't. In driving mode it shows you either 1 circle with drive time available or 4 circles with time to 8 hour, 11, 14, or 70, time remaining.
As far as the graph page, only visible when stationary, it shows the location you change duty status. So if you do line 1 to 4 for pre trip it will show whatever location then when you begin driving it will show that location. In the notes you can edit the location it says. So rather than 40.5 miles west of wherever, you can change it to just the town name. If you wanted to. -
Thank you for the information -
Keeptruckin is using the cell phone towers as its location use your GPS and get the real location where you're at and put it in manually take out the wrong location

If you want a location stamp for midnite, you have to change duty status, even momentarily, at near midnite, unless you are sitting still, this is on EROAD.

Prior to "The Final Rule" being published, many truckers, the OOIDA and ATA voiced their concern that ELDs would increase Driver Harassment, by providing "too accurate" of a location." They were determined to make sure that "this Federal Mandate, would not become an excuse to track driver's exact locations." As a compromise (and in observance of Anti-Harrasment Laws), the 1-mile & 10-mile rule(s) were put in place. Granted, there are Telematics Systems available, that are capable of providing this information. But, the ELD Mandate was not going to be a platform, for "Enhancing Driver Tracking." In a nutshell... People fought, to have the location "generalized" as it would be on a paper log, and Won. Would you rather, everyone knew "exactly, what address you are at?" -
Not much help in figuring out where you're at without a good map, and a pair of dividers with good reading eyesight, ie, real unhandy unless you happened to stop near such a population center for some reason, then you get asked why about that should you get stopped, I used to look at enforcement view for information.
Not so much anymore.
Largely useless, unless you like the windshield mount failing at inopportune times dumping the unit and attached cord on the dash. -
