7.4 Using Follow Me
The Pharos Follow Me service makes it easy for your family,
group, or fellow company members to see exactly where each of
the other members are in real time. By using Follow Me you can
insure that people don’t get lost, you can help your friends find that
hard to locate parking space, or you can make sure that
customers are quickly served by sending the closest driver to the
next pickup location.
An Introduction to Follow Me
Follow Me uses a combination of several capabilities to help you
stay in touch. First, of course, is your Pharos GPS device which
precisely determines your location. Next there is the wireless
connection to the Internet which enables you to both send and
receive information. Finally, there is the Pharos Follow Me Web
portal that tracks and distributes the information for your group.
Each of these pieces is a vital part of the process so we’ll begin by
having a closer look at them.
Getting GPS Location Information
Your Pharos GPS navigation device includes a powerful GPS
receiver which can pinpoint your location with considerable
accuracy. The Ostia software application on your device uses this
information to display your position on a map so you can always
see exactly where you are.
GPS receivers get their information from the series of GPS
satellites that orbit the Earth. This information is received from the
satellites, but no information is sent back from your device. This
means that no one can track your location—you aren’t sending out
your location simply because you have a GPS receiver.
