[Logisitics iOS](https://support.cognosos.com/knowledge/mobile?hsLang=en#logisitics-ios) # Getting Started with the Logistics iOS Mobile App ## Learn about the general features of the Logistics iOS Mobile App. The Cognosos logistics location system provides a state-of-the-art end to end solution to give instant visibility to automobiles across your lot, yard, or facility. With no limit to the lot size or number of yards, instantly locate any vehicle by user defined attributes (e.g., make, model, year, or color), automatically generate inventory reports, and monitor entry/exit gates for theft prevention.  Use the Logistics Mobile App to:  - Locate any vehicle, including driving and walking directions to vehicle - Sort vehicles by user defined attributes including make, model, year - Ensure proper and timely logistics workflow with On-Spot reporting - Subscribe to zones, vehicles to receive instant notifications  - Alert key staff when vehicles are in exit zones - Manage vehicle tasks and move through task lifecycle - View zonal capacity and current inventory  - Track vehicle movements and zone transitions  - Monitor tag status (battery health, temperature) - Signal tags to flash to easily spot vehicles on the lot/in the facility  The app opens to the Home (map) screen. Users may choose whether the map load default is set to all assets or to a search view (no assets), which provides a faster loading mechanism for users who do not need to see all assets or where internet connectivity is slow.  Refer to the related [FAQ article](https://support.cognosos.com/knowledge/why-isnt-my-mobile-app-showing-assets-on-the-map?hsLang=en) for steps on changing the default map view.  ![Map Show All Main](https://support.cognosos.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Mobile%20Logistics%20Graphics/Map%20Show%20All%20Main.jpeg?width=150&height=297&name=Map%20Show%20All%20Main.jpeg)                                        ![Map Search View main](https://support.cognosos.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Mobile%20Logistics%20Graphics/Map%20Search%20View%20main.jpeg?width=150&height=299&name=Map%20Search%20View%20main.jpeg) When Search View is enabled on the user's profile, use the filter icon on the top right of the map to filter/search assets to show on the map.  Regardless of load setting, use standard iOS mobile actions to zoom in/out.  Four icons on the bottom of the screen direct you to different areas or functions: Home (returns to the map), Search (to search and filter vehicles, tags, zones), OnSpot (to view dynamic OnSpot reporting data), and Trackers (for attaching and detaching trackers).  Click the question mark icon to view the map legend.  Click the arrow to display a person icon for navigational purposes.  For information on accessing the mobile app, go to the [Accessing the Cognosos Logistics Mobile App](https://support.cognosos.com/knowledge/how-to-access-cognosos-log-mobile-app?hsLang=en) article.    -
