* **Map View**: Organize vehicles by location or type for easier navigation on the map.
    
* **Reports**: Narrow down reports to specific vehicles located in **Groups** or at **Depots**.

### Depot vs. Group

* **Depot**: Think of a **Depot** as a **location** where vehicles are based (e.g., a physical site or garage).

* You can only have **one Depot** per vehicle.

* **Group**: A **Group** is a category based on the **type of vehicle** (e.g., trucks, sedans, electric vehicles).
    
* You can assign multiple vehicles to a **Group**.
