GPS-Navigation
22.
Does my Thuraya XT-DUAL have a GPS-Navigation function?
The Thuraya XT-DUAL features GPS-navigation, which allows you to create and manage
waypoints. These can be used to navigate from a fixed location to various waypoints, showing
the distance and direction to each. Additionally, you can use location tracking by automatically
saving your GPS coordinates in fixed intervals which will allow you to create a track of your
route.
23.
Can I use the XT-DUAL for tracking?
With the included GPS Helper function of the Thuraya XT-DUAL you can perform real-time
tracking and send your location data (coordinates) in frequent intervals by SMS to your
tracking portal in order to keep colleagues or friends and family up to date or to be tracked in
critical missions.
24.
Can the location of my Thuraya XT-DUAL be determined by others?
The GPS-navigation can only be initiated by the phone user – unwanted tracking cannot be
remotely executed by external third-parties.
25.
Does the phone have an emergency function?
The included GPS Helper function of the Thuraya XT-DUAL allows to preconfigure emergency
messages and to save SMS emergency numbers. In case of an emergency you can then start
the emergency function by pressing the right softkey for 3 seconds. The XT-DUAL will then
send your alarm message with your current coordinates in frequent intervals to the predefined
numbers.
