Consider IOS usage scenarios

Upgrade to server 5.0.

In the traccar manager client under server 5.0 the new modern interface is drawn. When rendering on the screen unit access is not immediately available. To access a unit a user must click the menu, select the unit, then the back arrow. This makes it very hard on a mobile standpoint to scroll through units in an efficient fashion.

Practical example - we use traccar to follow ambulances across a county. In the pre 5.0 version a table of units was drawn on the screen. This allows a someone operating a supervisors vehicle to very quickly navigate between units and see their location on the map and follow them if it became necessary.

Suggestions:

When selecting unit from the menu immediately return to the map.
Enable the expanded table as the full web interface has.

We were thinking of second click on a selected device returns back to the map. Does that work?

Thanks for the quick response.

It would not be a bad start - but I think the option to pin the device list woudl still be helpful with single click navigation.

Imagine operating and emergency vehicle and needing to be able to quickly and dynamically change the resource your tracking or looking for. Clicking a menu / double clicking a unit / adds additional key strokes not necessary in the older interface.

In our case we have both iphones and ipads - the larger real estate screens on the ipads would allow us to pin the devices table just like the full web interface.

@dkyeremeh any thoughts on this?
