Location and Mapping

Track you location

IM-Notify tracks your location information and sends out to other agents in the system. Let’s have a look at the mapping settings again and go through it one by one.

Track Your Location: If it’s turned on, the app will send out your location information to other agents in the network at a specific interval determined by Update Frequency.
If it’s off, no location information is sent out and you won’t be able to track yourself on the map view.

Map View: You can track other users through the map view. This option lets you choose between Satellite and Normal view. Default is Normal view.

Map Zoom Level: Ranges from 1 – 21 with 1 being lowest zoom level and 21 being the highest zoom level. Default is 14.

Update Frequency: The interval in seconds in which IM-Notify sends out location information. Ranges from 10 seconds – 120 seconds. Default is 60 seconds.

exUpdating location too frequently might result in decreased battery performance of your phone.

Understanding the Map View

The map view tracks the location of all the agents in the system. It can be accessed by tapping on the Map tab from the main interface.

Let’s have a look at the different components of map view:

1. Map Details View: Tapping this button activates details panel from which you can track other agents. By default tracking is set to self.

The green text indicates which user you are, and that you are offline. When you are offline, the colour of the text changes to red.

The icons next to the names correspond to different meanings. See bottom of the page for more information.

2. Settings button: Activates the settings panel.

3. Team mode button: When activated, all the users on the map are grouped onto a broad view.

4. User Markers: You can tap on the user markers to get more information on them.

Agent marker window shows several information:

  • Name of the agent
  • Last updated location time
  • SMS / Call buttons

exThe call button on the marker window is only activated if there’s a call in progress.
