Question 1

How is my live location shown to my friends and family?

Accepted Answer

Your tracker comes with a unique weblink which you can share with your family and friends. You can optionally add a password to the viewing link.  The weblink works on any internet connected mobile device, tablet, laptop, or PC. A map will load and a green flag will appear that typically updates your location every 5 minutes when moving. If you stop moving for 3 minutes or more the flag will turn orange.

Question 2

Tell me about the SOS feature?

Accepted Answer

You can add up to 3 mobile phone numbers, which you can edit at any time. If you press the button 3x times it will send an SOS message to all three of the contacts.  Note, there is a 2-hour cooldown, design to prevent repeated accicental activation, so do not press SOS before you set off.

Question 4

Does the device work everywhere?

Accepted Answer

The Mini LTE tracker must be able to see the sky and be in an area of LTE / IoT signal, on any mobile network in the world.  These mini LTE devices do work under trees (while satellite transmitting devices often do not).  If you are in an area with no signal, the Mini LTE device will continue to track its location and will transmit all the recorded data when it is back in an area of signal.  LTE Mini do normally work in a vehicle, near a window.  Trackers do not generally work indoors, or underground.
