GPS Tracking

[kdd]

I have GPS reporting set to every 10 minutes. But when I want to know the target phone's current location immediately, can I do it with GPS Tracking?

If I set GPS tracking to "real time" and to "1 minute", does it start streaming data from the target phone in one minute intervals?

Are you talking about the GPS Tracking tab in the web account?

If so then the settings you set there will not change the settings on the TARGET phone.

If you want GPS in real-time on the TARGET phone you must set the report timer for GPS to the shortest possible interval although this can quickly drain the battery.

GPS Refresh time and the Report Timer settings are separate from each other. The GPS refresh settings tells the software how often it should take a GPS/Location reading from the phone, and the report timer configures how often the software should log into the web server to report all captured events. If you want to see the location events in the web account as soon as they are captured, you'll want to set the report timer to report per every single (1) captured event. Then you need to set the GPS refresh time to however often you want to capture the GPS reading.

Note that using the GPS unit takes a lot of battery power and may drain the battery fairly quickly (by end of day with a full charge) if you are turning it on every minute or so.
