Basic Reporting Service
A basic reporting service includes vessel tracking with an automatic location update interval of one hour
when moving, and up to 150 on-demand requests, which can include real-time location,
arming/disarming, dc trends, and more discussed in the
Remote Access section of this document.
Enhanced Reporting Service
An enhanced reporting service includes vessel tracking with an automatic location update interval of
thirty minutes when moving, global geofencing, and up to 250 on-demand requests, which can include
real-time location, arming/disarming, dc trends, and more discussed in the
Remote Access section of
this document.
Global Geofencing
With global geofencing, multiple geofence boundaries can be drawn on a Google Map interface on the
Nautic Alert Mobile App , and the geofence data will upload and sync with the device making it fully
aware of the boundaries. This makes it possible for VTracker to notify in real time when entering or
exiting a geofence boundary, including the name of the boundary. See the
Global Geofencing section
below for additional info.
