Hello Jimbo, I get the same report when I've been inside a building and had no clear view of the sky. Not sure how long you stood outside but I've noticed in the web log that after an LOC event like the one you've posted the signal will pick up again after I've been outside for maybe 2 or 3 minutes.

Jimbo Posted September 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 I had it out there for about 10 minutes and nothing showed up. But, later I drove around and it successfully monitored my GPS positions... VERY COOL programs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 You may want to go into Android phone menu: Settings/Location/ and in addition to GPS Satellites, also check the option for "Use Wireless networks". This will attempt to get location by Cell Tower ID when GPS isn't available. But be careful to understand that this isn't precise, even though its reported with actual Lat/Long as a GPS position would be. If you enable this option and find that your location positions are off too much, just go back and disable the Wireless Networks option on the phone again. But if you find that your Target is indoors or otherwise unable to get GPS positions often, its worth a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Posted September 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 If the user disables GPS or Network, can those be reactivated remotely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Posted September 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 I see where the Network Location (as opposed to GPS)shows up in the Location Report and you can map each location individually, but it seems to be ignored for "GPS Tracking". If I switch to Real-Time, it shows the "network" locations, but when in History, it says "No GPS records found". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are referring to the GPS Tracking tab in the web account then we are aware that there are currently issues with this and we are working to fix them.
