Update Device Location
Upon clicking on the update location button (available for each device) Trackimo
will attempt to contact the device through the cellular network and retrieve the
device’s exact location.
Trackimo will retrieve an exact GPS-based location, but if GPS is unavailable at
the device location, Trackimo will attempt to approximate the location using the
mobile network signals to the device.
If the device is unreachable for 60 seconds during the location update process,
the system will notify the user with an information notification. Reasons that the
device may be unreachable may include; the device being turned off, the device
is out of battery, and the device is in an area that does not have cell phone
reception.

how often the device reports its location to you through the Trackimo system.
Manual
The device location will only update when the user clicks the
update location button; this ensures the longest battery life
to the device.
1 Minute
The device will update its location every 1 minute; this mode
will cause the device to have the shortest battery life.
