This unique vehicle tracking tool will use an intelligent combination of motion sensing combined with GPS in order to poll GPS position only when necessary, greatly increasing battery life of tracking. Track your vehicle fleet positions easily with a very simple tool! Designed to be paired with RVW GenIuS (contact us for details), this tool can also be used with any other custom vehicle tracking solution. Just change the tracking status URL in the app to the service of your choosing, and your location updates will be sent using industry-standard JSON that's extremely easy to integrate into any solution. The only data collected is your latitude and longitude, and the client name and vehicle name you enter.

Subsurface Maps Offline is an app that allows existing Subsurface Maps users to download their maps from the cloud to their iOS device for use offline. Using this app you can view your map, turn layers on and off, make changes to any feature, and mark new points. Then when you are back at the office you can use the "Sync" button to upload your changes to the Subsurface Maps cloud where they will be accessible to the rest of your team. The regular browser-based Subsurface Maps application is still the flagship product where you must go to create layers, change colors, modify your field layout, draw lines, etc. The offline app is a less functional version that allows you to do basic data collection and viewing offline. How it works 1. These instructions assume you already have a Subsurface Maps account. 2. Install this app on your tablet or phone. 3. Run the app and enter your Subsurface Maps user name and password. 4. Select which map(s) you want to download to your phone/tablet. 5. Open your map, view it, make changes, add new points, etc. 6. When you are ready to upload your changes click Menu, then click Offline Maps, then click the 'Sync' button next to your map name. This will upload your edits and download any changes that others have made.
