Overview
TrackTik uses GPS technology to monitor mobile users by accessing GPS data from their mobile devices. This allows TrackTik to provide real-time location updates, set up checkpoints at specific geographic coordinates, and create geofences to define approved or restricted work areas. The system uses a combination of GPS, Wi-Fi, mobile network, and device sensor information to ensure accurate location tracking. This helps enhance user safety, ensure accountability, and provide navigation information.
GPS location updates in TrackTik are transmitted to the system and displayed on the web portal based on the following factors:
- Changes in the user's location.
- The refresh rate that is configured in the portal.
Learn how to adjust the GPS refresh rate below.
