# Trackers for International Cargo

> Practical guide to current CHRT trackers workflows and saved-record checks.

## Choose the source for the leg

Use tracking sources to distinguish cargo position from a driver’s phone location. The map can offer **Driver**, **Cargo (Driver)**, and **Cargo with Device**, alongside integration-specific sources when present. Check the source label and update time before interpreting a marker. An onboard courier's **Driver** route line breaks across a flight, from boarding until deboarding.

## Coordinate tracker setup

Agree which physical device will travel with which cargo and who will register, attach, recover, and maintain it. An operator or higher links a device to cargo from the **Tracking** column of the order's **Cargo** grid or from **Actions** > **Add tracking devices**, and a device can track one cargo at a time. Use [Trackers on Orders](/staging/trackers/on-orders) and [Supported Devices](/staging/trackers/supported-devices) for the relevant device workflow. Check device-specific operating and airline requirements with your team before tender.

## Inspect order tracking

Open the order **Summary** or **Timeline** map and select the intended segment and available device source. Inspect its latest report and any historical data provided. A flight status, driver report, and device observation are separate sources; compare their timestamps before drawing a conclusion.

The **Map settings** gear 1 lists the sources on the order map, such as **Driver** 2 and **Cargo (Driver)** 3, with **See all pings** 4 and a **Progress** | **Live** switch 5.

*Order map settings in the shipper view. **1** **Map settings** gear, **2** **Driver** (on, and dimmed because it is the only source shown), **3** **Cargo (Driver)** (off), **4** **See all pings** (on), **5** **Progress** | **Live** switch. Look at **2** and **3** to see which sources the map is showing.*

## Read condition data only when provided

Review the measurements available for the actual device/integration. Do not expect every tracker to provide temperature, humidity, shock, light, or other condition readings. Missing readings need a device/integration check, not an assumption the cargo is within range.

## Share the intended information

Use the order sharing settings to select the tracking sources intended for the recipient. Inspect the signed-out public page before sharing it. Use [Public Tracking Links](/staging/shippers/public-tracking) for the access check and keep standalone-session sharing separate.
