## What is Author Tag?

Author Tag shows where your car, motorbike or van is right now — and what has happened to it. Connect an Author Tag GPS tracker, your iPhone or a QR tag and keep everything on one map.

LIVE MAP
• All your trackers, phones and tags on one map
• Status, battery and last contact at a glance
• Speed and direction while the vehicle is moving
• Find nearby: compass, distance and voice hints lead you to the tracker

TRIPS AND HISTORY
• Every trip with distance, time, max and average speed
• Routes coloured by speed, stops with their duration, playback at 1×, 2× and 4×
• Fuel used, consumption and idling on supported vehicles
• Speed limit checks and CSV export

CAR HEALTH FROM OBD
• Fuel level, car battery voltage, odometer, engine speed and coolant temperature
• Engine fault codes explained in plain words
• Alerts for low fuel, a weak battery or a new fault

DRIVING SCORE
• Weekly score for acceleration, braking, cornering and speeding
• Tap an incident to see where and when it happened

ALERTS AND PROTECTION
• Movement, SOS, crash, tamper, power loss, speeding and geofence alerts
• Guard mode: get notified the moment the vehicle starts moving
• Theft mode sends a location every few minutes, with a Live Activity on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island
• Geofences from 50 m with entry, exit or both

DASHBOARD AND WIDGETS
• Your week at a glance: trips, mileage, movement and battery of every tracker
• Pin the trackers and commands you use most

SHARE SAFELY
• Invite family or colleagues with a code or a link, and revoke access at any time
• Hide your location for an hour when you need privacy

QR TAGS AND YOUR PHONE
• A QR tag lets whoever finds your keys, bag or bike contact you without an account
• Use your iPhone as a tracker for the family

Works with Author Tag trackers (NT27E, NT35 family, TAT100). Some features depend on the tracker model and your plan; PRO adds longer history, trip reports and more geofences.
