    ⬜ Supported: This means we have successfully communicated to the telematics and tachograph device inside the vehicle in the last 21 days.

    🟨 Unknown: This means we cannot communicate with the telematics device (for example, the device might not have signal).

    🟥 Failing: This status shows up when tracking device cannot communicate with the tachograph device but it could previously.

    🟥 Not supported: This indicates we cannot communicate with the tachograph device and we have never been able to do so.
