Help and guides

Use the phone app and get directions to a tracker

The iPhone and Android apps show your trackers on a map with a pull-up sheet, bring you alerts as notifications and give you directions to a tracker.

Steps

  1. Get the app from the App Store or Google Play (see Phone apps) and sign in with the same email and password as on the web.
  2. Pick a tracker by its name at the top of the sheet. Pull the sheet up for Status, Location, Commands, Perimeters, Display and More.
  3. Tap 🔔 to turn on alerts for the tracker, and allow notifications when your phone asks.
  4. To get directions, tap Navigate. Choose Navigate here for turn-by-turn directions with voice in the app, Follow to follow the tracker without voice, or open the directions in your phone's maps app.
  5. Tap Stop to end navigation.
  6. For a Location History report, tap History Report in Location, set the dates and tap Generate Report.

Good to know

  • If Navigate offers no choices, it opens the directions in your phone's maps app.
  • The app uses your location only while navigation is open, to work out the route. It isn't stored.
  • In the apps the Location History report is on screen only. To print or export, tap Open in browser.
  • The web platform works in your phone's browser too. Its pull-up sheet has 📍 Navigate, which opens driving directions in a new tab.
