Car location tracking
COMPASS GSM/GPS finds your vehicle location via GPS
positioning. If the signal from satellites is weak or the
location is lost, it will be determined via GSM network.
Coordinates accuracy depends on geolocation method:
•
GPS - vehicle location is detected by the satellites
signals with accuracy up to several meters;
•
GSM - vehicle location is detected by LBS technology
(Location-Based Service). Positioning accuracy
within the city limits is up to tens/hundreds of
meters. Outside the city - up to several kilometers.
ATTENTION!

ATTENTION!
You can change COMPASS GSM/GPS
operating mode by sending SMS-commands, see p.20.
