Location/GPS Questions
1. How often does the GPS update?
Every 1 to 30 minutes.
2. How is the watch tracked? Just by GPS?
The watch is tracked by more than just the GPS. GPS means “GEO positioning satellite”. The watch has a chip that communicates with those satellites to give out latitude and longitude which Vigilint converts to an address. The watch also uses Cell Towers and WiFi hotspots as locators.
3. How reliable is the tracking of the GPS?
This is a complicated question. Factors that affect reliability are the reception of the GPS(Line of Site)/Cell/WiFi signals, weather, where you are, time of year and proximity to cell towers/WiFi. In general reliability is very good with the previous exceptions. GPS location is the most accurate. If GPS is not present, accuracy can vary from Cell and WiFi.
4. What is the effective locator range of the watch, and approximately how accurate is it? Within a few feet or yards?
The watch location can be located anywhere in the U.S. no matter the distance between parent/caregiver and child. Accuracy ranges from 3 meters to 600+ meters depending upon GPS reception, cell reception, cell tower location and WiFi coverage.
5. Does the watch alert the parent of the child's location quietly? In other words will the watch alert the parent without the child's knowledge or notify the parent in a manner that does not alert the child?
Yes, when a location alert is sent to the parent/caregiver’s phone there is no notification to the child.
6. Will this GPS track the last place the child was?
The GPS tracker will keep a history log of everywhere the watch/child has been.
7. Without a SIM card, is it still track able by parent’s app? What features are and are not available without a SIM card?
No. Included with the Vigilint smartwatch phone is a preinstalled SIM card that is required for all functions to work.
