1
Navigate to [https://admin.movatic.co/#/dashboard](https://admin.movatic.co/#/dashboard)
2
Click "Locations"
3
Click on your desired station/location.
4
Click "Rentals"
5
Select a "From" or starting date. All the rentals that ended after this starting point will appear on the report.
6
In my case I want the data from the first of this month
7
Now select the Ending date. You can select a future date or leave it empty and the system will default to the current day.
8
For demonstration purposes, I selected the last day of the month.
9
And now we just need to Click "Export Routes" button.
10
Next the app will show a congratulation message and the report is being processed in our systems. Important to notice: the bigger the time window, the longer we have to wait to receive the report in our email.
11
Go to your email and in matter of mins (10 minutes tops for a station with a large amount of rentals and a time window equal or bigger than a year), you should receive an email from [support@movatic.co](mailto:support@movatic.co).
12
Download your report. You can rename it to have current date or maybe the system name or anything that you like, as long as you keep the file extension to (*.json)
13
Then, In a new tab, navigate to [https://kepler.gl/](https://kepler.gl/)
14
Click "GET STARTED"
15
Click "browse your files"
16
Once the data is loaded into the site. You can see the location as a dot on the map. Sometimes Keplers center the map a little bit off, but if you know the location position, it won't be a problem.
17
You can hit play button and see the rentals trajectory on those rentals that we capture enough location data and you may see a few straight lines for those that we couldn't.
18
Also you you can also pause the animations...
19
...or manually control the playback of this.
20
If the animation is going too fast (this depends on the given time window), you can also change the desired velocity of the playback animation.
21
You can change the speed by moving the square far right for more speed or far left to make the animation slower. Also you can click the number to type a desired amount. In this case I typed 0.1 to make it ten times slower. Hit play again and decrease or increase the animation velocity as you see fit.
22
Now, since we have three devices reporting locations (user app, hardware and the lock), I recommend adding a filter to improve the reading of the data. For that we hit this icon.
23
Click here.
24
Click here.
25
I recommend adding a filter by "reporter_name" since I got better results with those.
26
Click here to choose a reporting device.
27
Click the hardware one; in this case the ACTON Nexus (Bike),
28
If now you hit play, you should see a better representation of the trips occurring on the map. But, we can improve much more this reading. For this, lets go back to the data sets.
29
Click the dropdown arrow /this icon.
30
Click here to change the presentation type.
31
Choose Polygon.
32
There you go. Now you can see better the paths of the routes on the giving data.
33
Some of them maybe not too accurate due to a missing points on the trip, but you can have a better understanding of the trip route.
34
You can also remove the filter and see the rest of the data on the map but this can clutter the view.
