 * possibility to detect 'offline' devices - when signal hasn't came for some time (set up in device settings). They will be shown on a map with a marker of different colour and there will be some sign in popup that they are actually offline.
 * new device status - idle. It is shown in popup and also there will be a time of idling. Each device got new setting 'Idle when speed is <=', which is zero by default. It may be changed to some reasonable value, which is then used to consider device idle (for example to handle 'satelite drift compansation').

+Any user can be marked as read-only either by `administrator` or by `manager` user in Settings >> User screen:
+
+![Marking user as read-only](http://i62.tinypic.com/2ldxego.png)
+
+Read-only user cannot apply any modifications to the underlying database (even cannot change his own account information). This is what is available for such users:
+
+* latest positions of shared devices
+* archived positions of shared devices
+* tracker server log (for read-only administrative account).
+
+In UI such user will have only 'Logout' button (and Settings >> Tracker server log for administrative account).
