The device will go GPRS online and send it’s latest GPS position to
the Control Base. The Control Base software will find the street
name and closest intersection from a map server and send these
details through SMS text message to you.
If the device’s first attempt to dial GPRS failed for any reason,
the GPS data will be sent to the Control Base through SMS
instead. In that case, you will receive location details sent from
the Control Base directly (backup feature).
