Locations snapshot

NOTE: The Vehicle Locations API is an older API that does not combine GPS data with onboard diagnostics. Try our new Vehicle Stats API instead.

Returns the last known location of all vehicles at the given time. If no time is specified, the current time is used. This can be optionally filtered by tags or specific vehicle IDs.
