The update of the location is based on a time event. The predefined reporting intervals are as follows:

• Every time the ignition status changes, i.e. when it is turned on or off
• Every 3 km of travelling in a straight line
• Every deviation of 10 degrees or more in any direction
• The detection of excessive idling
• Highlighting whenever the maximum set speed limit is exceeded
• Any change of 5 km/h or more over the speed limit
• An alert is triggered for events such as harsh acceleration/braking or cornering

When the vehicle is out of GPRS/GSM coverage, up to 5000 positions and events are stored in the device and streamed again as soon as GPRS/GSM communication is re-established.

The location accuracy is high and can be traced to within a radius of about 3 meters at any stage. The speed and distance travelled are measured by the GPS system.

The green light under the globe icon won’t be turning on.
