WHAT DOES UTRACKIT DO?
UTRACKIT uses GPS for pinpointing your exact location and GPRS to transmit this information to our website so that your position can be seen in real-time by a viewer. This unique integration of technologies makes UTRACKIT the ideal real time movement monitor. As you move along, your position is continually marked and you create a visually displayed route, which is revealed on the map interface.
- In addition to your virtual route, useful data including temperature, altitude and speed and much more is recorded alongside every marked position plotted on the map. As you use your UTRACKIT, you see will speed, latitude and longitude and displayed on the face, and this information is continuously transmitted.
- Your route is shown on a standard street map, an aerial satellite map or a hybrid of these two maps which you can manipulate with ease.
- Every time you use your UTRACKIT, you generate new data. Even though your travels are available immediately, the information is also mailed to you daily, for you to save for easy off-line reference. As all the data that you generate is held in perpetuity on the UTRACKIT server, you will always be able to access your data when you log onto your personal page.
- You can integrate your route data with Google Earth™, giving a sense of the surroundings passed through. All the standard Google functionality remains after a map-integration is performed: you can zoom in as close as you want – or as far away as you want; change the plane on which you view the route; remove or add layers of surrounding information and then save the route to a file. You can send your saved journey by email to anyone with whom you wish to share your journeys.
- Your UTRACKIT will constantly gather information when active, even if there is no GSM coverage. This data is stored, and once coverage is re-established, your current position is transmitted to the website. As the stored data is transmitted, so your route will be filled in behind your current position, even as you move along, generating more route information.
COMMUNICATING WITH A UTRACKIT USER
UTRACKIT’s integrated GSM technology allows you to receive calls and text messages directly to the unit. You can call the device from any phone. Text messages from a cell phone and from the website can be received by the device.
- Communicate with the UTRACKIT by simply using the message bar on the mapping page. All messages sent from the website are saved. In order to do this, the observer needs to have access to the user’s password-protected page, or would have received a ‘Tell-A-Friend’ email from the user.
- Simple text messages with Yes / No answers can be responded to by the user, using the buttons on the device.
- The UTRACKIT user can be called at any time and will be alerted to the call by the screen lighting up and a tone. The screen prompts the user to answer or decline the call. If the user is wearing an audio headset, then a normal conversation can take place between the two parties.
- The UTRACKIT will auto-answer incoming calls when it is in E-Mode.
UTRACKIT’S EMERGENCY E-MODE*
UTRACKIT assures your personal security with E-Mode. When setting up your personal details during the initial stages, you are required to designate an emergency contact. When you activate the E-Mode, an emergency SMS / email is sent to your chosen contact.
- In the event of an emergency, and you are not in GSM coverage, the emergency notification is re-sent every 16 seconds until it is acknowledged. At the same time, the device attempts to send a position immediately.
- If your accident happens outside of GSM coverage, your rescuers will know your last position, based on the last transmission.
- When the unit is in E-Mode the display will show E-MODE on the screen, and the unit will auto-answer incoming phone calls.
- UTRACKIT’s live data pinpoints your location, even if you are lost. Because the unit is always transmitting information about its whereabouts, your location is always known – even if you don’t know where you are. An observer can find you on the mapping system and direct you to where you need to be. At the same time, the status of your UTRACKIT unit is recorded, so the viewer can see if you are stationary or moving – and your speed if you are travelling.
- * Requires optional E-Mode button to be inserted into the dashboard.
SHARE YOUR TRAVELS – LIVE!
Share with your friends and family the routes that you travel as you move along, by allocating a time-expiring access pass. This will allow access to your data for your pre-determined amount of time.
- Your privacy is assured – only you can give permission to another person to view your information.
- The ‘Tell-A-Friend’ message is sent from your UTRACKIT page, in a quick and easy procedure.
- You can use your UTRACKIT anywhere in the world provided that data roaming has been enabled. An email to the technicians at UTRACKIT, detailing your roaming area, will result in the activation of data roaming.
