Trips is where you see what your whole fleet did, without opening one vehicle at a time. It answers the questions a day actually generates — who went where, what took the longest, which trips had speeding in them, what happened after hours.
Applies to: the Hapn web app at app.gethapn.com (Historical Tracking → Trips) and the Hapn mobile app (the Trips tab in the bottom bar).
On the mobile app
Tap Trips in the bar along the bottom of the screen. It's the same fleet view, sized for a phone: a tracker picker, the date, quick filters such as With alerts, Speeding, After hours and Over 5 mi, and Activity and Calendar views at the top. The rest of this article describes the web app.
The Trips tab is there for anyone whose role includes the Trips and Time Machine permission. A tracker with trip generation switched off has no trips there: select it and tap View location history, or use History on the tracker's card — that's where battery trackers' history is. See How to View Your Tracker's Location History.
The fleet view
Trips opens on every tracker combined. Across the top you get:
- The tracker picker on the left, showing All trackers — Combined activity across the fleet.
- A date picker — Today by default.
- Open in report, which takes the current selection into a report.
Under that, a summary line tells you the shape of the day at a glance: Today · 16 trips · 96.0 mi travelled · 23 alerts · 0 issues.
Each trip row shows a small sketch of the route, the tracker's name, the time range and duration, the from → to addresses, any alerts that fired during it, and — on the right — the distance and max speed. There's a + Tag control on every row for labelling trips as you review them.
One thing to know up front: stops are hidden in the fleet view. The page says so in a banner. Select a single tracker to get its stops back.
Narrowing it down
The chips below the header are the fast filters, and they're the ones worth learning:
- All trips — no filter.
- With alerts / With issues — only trips that generated something.
- Speeding — trips containing a speeding event.
- After hours — movement outside your organization's business hours.
- Over 5 mi — filters out the short hops.
After hours is the one most fleets use daily. It turns "did anything move last night?" into a single click, and it follows the hours set in Setting Your Organization's Business Hours.
More filters
More filters opens the full panel:
- Alert types — the whole catalogue, from Speeding and SOS through Place Entry/Exit, Tow, Harsh Braking, Crash, Check Engine Light and DTC Fault Code.
- Tag and Places — narrow to a group of assets, or to trips touching specific places.
- Trip length — Any, Under 5 mi, 5–25 mi, Over 25 mi.
- Duration — Any, Under 15 min, 15–60 min, Over 1 hr.
- Speeding severity — show trips with speeding at least 0, 5, 10, 15 or 20 over.
- Time of day — Morning (5–11am), Daytime (11am–5pm), Evening (5–9pm), Overnight (9pm–5am).
Clear resets the panel; Apply commits it.
The search box takes an address, a place name or a tracker, so "every trip that touched the Topeka Lot" is one search rather than a filter exercise.
One tracker at a time
Select a tracker from the picker — you can search it by name or by IMEI, and each row shows that tracker's trip count, distance and last trip so you can see who was busy before you commit to opening one.
The single-tracker view is a different, richer thing:
- Stops appear, interleaved with the trips in time order. Each stop shows the address, Arrived 4:00 PM · left 4:14 PM, how long it sat, and a Save as place button — which is the easiest way to turn a location you keep visiting into a real place.
- The summary gains a stops count: Today · 6 trips · 6 stops · 63.4 mi travelled · 22 alerts · 0 issues.
- A Long stops (30 min+) chip appears — useful for finding time on site, or time that shouldn't have been.
- A Calendar tab sits next to Trips.
- Export CSV and Replay on map appear in the header.
Battery trackers don't produce trips
This is the single most common surprise, and it isn't a fault.
A battery-powered tracker reporting once a minute or slower doesn't generate trips at all. There simply isn't enough resolution between reports to draw a journey, so Hapn shows you the individual pings instead. Those trackers aren't listed here — their history is on the Locations page (Historical Tracking → Locations), and History on the tracker opens on the list of Pings (Locations on the mobile app).
You still have the full location record — it's just a series of positions rather than trips and stops. If you need trips from a particular asset, it needs a faster reporting mode, which on battery devices costs battery life. See Reporting Modes: How to Adjust Your Tracker's Update Frequency.
Vehicle trackers drawing power from the vehicle — OBD, hardwired and dash cams — report fast enough to produce trips normally.
Getting to one tracker's history from the map
You don't have to start at Trips. On the Live Map, select an asset to enter follow mode, then use Trips (the route icon, grouped with Spotlight, Share Live and Settings in the bar at the bottom) — it opens that tracker's Trips view directly. The date stepper at the top right moves you day by day without leaving the tracker.
History, in that same bar, skips the list and opens Time Machine on the map directly. The two are easy to confuse: Trips gives you the list of trips and stops, History gives you the day drawn on the map.
For the map-based view of a single day — the route drawn, the daily totals, individual pings — use Replay on map from there. See Using Time Machine.
Opening one trip
Select a trip in the list to open it in Time Machine: the route on the map, start and end, alerts during the trip, a Raw GPS points drill-in listing every position report in it, and detailed facts on distance, speed, idling and driving habits. Back to Trips at the top returns you to the list. See Using Time Machine.
Trips or Reports?
Use Trips to look at a day and understand it — it's built for reviewing and tagging.
Use Reports when you need the numbers rather than the narrative: totals by asset over a month, mileage for expenses, a scheduled email to someone who never opens Hapn. Open in report at the top right is the bridge between the two. See Getting Your Data Out of Hapn.
