GPS Smarter Tracker - Trial

About GPS Smarter Tracker - Trial Android App

Please Note: A paid version of this application (Smarter Tracker GPS) is also available.

Smarter Tracker is an easy to use phone tracker app which takes the worry out of situations where your loved ones are away from home on trips or during their schooling or day-care routines. Smarter Tracker may equally be used within a business context to track personnel or vehicles on a day to day basis.

Smarter Tracker uses SMS and GPS technology to give you a real time map location. The monitor handset is able to fully remotely control the report mode handset to give location reports or individual alerts if outside a geo-fence or 'safe area'. The scheduling feature is particularly powerful as one can set daily, weekly or monthly reports for example when children are routinely traveling to or from their places of study or day-care. Schedules operate automatically and alert you to any unusual movements, allowing for continuous monitoring.

If something out of the ordinary does occur, you'll be able to directly from the application, text or call the handset in question, or failing that, directly navigate to their location wherever that may be. If you are simply using it to keep track of your phones, you will be able to find your phone if lost or alert the authorities to its whereabouts if stolen.

Smarter Tracker is NOT intended as a spying application, and hence is always visible via silent notifications.

Smarter Tracker uses invisible, coded SMS text over a highly reliable 2G network. Indeed, there have been well-reported cases of texts being successfully sent in emergency situations, when all other communication has failed.

Please install Smarter Tracker on each handset to be tracked during your trial. Full context-sensitive help is available on each screen of the application and at land-escapes.co.uk.

COSTS

*Smarter Tracker uses invisible, coded SMS text as its sole communication medium hence there may be a small ongoing cost to its use. It is therefore particularly suited to text-heavy or unlimited text tariffs where it would be completely free of running costs.

Trial Version - Restrictions

Please note that the Trial Version does not support scheduling and is limited to 1 remote handset but is fully functional in every other respect. You may however get a good idea of the capabilities of the scheduling system via the handset setup screen for scheduling which is fully functional in the Trial Version.

The Lite Version supports 1 remote handset but also fully supports scheduling.
