* Vehicle names should be easily identifiable
* Changes take effect immediately after saving

### Best Practices

* Use consistent naming conventions for vehicles
* Double-check device assignments before saving
* Keep vehicle information up to date
* Document any changes made to vehicle-tracker assignments

### Tips for Vehicle Names

* Use clear, recognizable names
* Consider including:
  * Vehicle type or model
  * Department or division (if applicable)
  * Unique identifier or number
  * Location (if managing multiple sites)

### Note

Ensure all vehicle and tracker assignments are verified after setup to confirm proper tracking functionality.
