Why I am not unable to locate my vehicle over the Internet?
|
|
|
If your vehicle has an unobstructed view of the sky and you are in a known
cellular area, the "locate" process can take as little as a few seconds, or up
to one minute. (If you use a dial up Internet Service Provider, the process can
take much longer)
|
| |
|
| |
There are generally only two reasons why you are unable to
"locate" your vehicle:
1) The vehicle currently resides in an area with poor cellular coverage
2) The analog cellular channels in your area are currently full (try again in a
few minutes) |

|
|
|
Can a car thief find my GTC and disarm it? |
|
GTC is very small and is hidden away in your vehicle.
There are no stickers placed on the vehicle that inform the thief that there is
a GTC unit on board. These factors make it very difficult for a thief to
beat the system. |
|
|
|
Is GTC an alarm system? |
|
GTC is not an alarm system. It is a theft recovery and
secure personal tracking device. |
|
|
|
What is the difference between the blue and green dot when my
location is acquired? |
|
The green dot represents a real-time locate. The device was
able to acquire a cellular connection as well as current longitude and latitude
information. The unit has a clear view of the satellites.
The blue dot represents old longitude and latitude information. GTC was
able to acquire a cellular connection, but not current longitude and latitude
information. When this occurs, the blue dot represents last known location
data. GTC currently has an obstructed view of the satellites. This
sometimes happens when a vehicle enters a parking structure.
A blue dot will probably appear at the entrance to the parking structure, as
that was the last point in which GTC had an unobstructed view of the
satellites. |
|
|
|
What does it mean when I receive the red dot- Vehicle
Unavailable. |
|
This means that GTC is an area with poor cellular
coverage.
GTC utilizes analog cellular telephone services and global positioning
system (GPS) services and is subject to the limitations of such services.
Further, GTC is only sold subject to a GTC contract, which contains
important disclosure information and full warranty, liability, and damage
limitations. Please refer to that document for a complete disclosure of terms,
limitations, and exclusions. |
| |
|
| |
What is the accuracy tolerance for GTC Devices? |
|
GPS accuracy is about 10 meters (30 feet) and is dependent on a great number of
factors:
-
Number of satellites visible to the device during tracking
-
The angle of the GPS antenna
-
Signal reflections from buildings, materials or natural features in the
landscape
