There are a few adjustments you can make to your Mobile Maps Link to refine your results.

The basic Mobile Maps Link is in three parts, separated by slashes. Let’s look at the demo Mobile Maps Link: http://gps-i.com/k/demo/0892.kml

1. URL: http://gps-i.com/k
2. Username: demo
3. Mobile Maps Token: 0892

On most phones, Google Maps Mobile will only display the first 9 results of any set of points. If this is the case for your phone, you want to add another number to the end of your Mobile Maps Link for the page number of results you want. For example, if the demo Mobile Maps Link had more than 9 vehicles and you wanted to see the second page you would enter http://gps-i.com/k/demo/0892/2.kml

Another way to narrow your results is to search on the vehicle name. The Mobile Maps Link supports partial name matching searching inserted between the username and Mobile Maps Token. The demo Mobile Maps Link has two vehicles that start with DIX. To limit the results to just these two vehicles you would enter http://gps-i.com/k/demo/dix/0892.kml. Searching is case-insensitive.
