Why has my tracker not yet reported its position on the map after activation?
After activation you may want to allow for the sim card to activate on the cellphone company. This process usually takes a few minutes and rarely up to an hour.Make sure the tracker is on and leave it outside or in a car. If you have the tracker inside a building the tracker may not get GPS signal even next to a window.If you tried the previous suggestions, try using a different internet browser and also download our app “Flock GPS Tracking” on your cellphone.It is also possible that in your area the celular signal the tracker uses to transmit is poor. A drive with the tracker may help it acquire a signal.Contact us if you still have issues.
Why will the red line not follow the road on the map?
he tracker will send a position report every X number of seconds. These position reports are represented by icons on the map (arrows and dots). The red line that join these icons only show you the order of these icons and does not represent the path take by the tracker.
If you want a more detailed track of the path taken by the tracker then you can change the report frequency with the "send command" button and make the tracker report more frequently its position but at the expense of using more energy thus making the battery charge last a little less time.
Why do I have several position reports scattered on the surrounding area while the tracker is stationary?
GPS signal will always have a margin of error. With the best view to the sky a GPS enabled device will have an error of about 30 feet. This margin of error may be greater when the tracker is hidden in a vehicle.
It is normal to notice these drifting position reports with larger margins of error more while the tracker is parked for long periods of time, like when the tracker is parked overnight. The position report will become more precise when the tracker starts moving again.
The tracker will have a difficult time acquiring GPS signal indoors and in areas with tall buildings around.
