NOTICE To use the GetPosition app, you need to own or have shared access to a supported GPS tracker (Concox, Xexun, Queclink, Meitrack, Coban). We are continuously expanding support for additional brands โ€“ you can send your request to support@GetPosition.eu. You can find the current list of supported devices at http://getposition.sk/technicka-podpora/. HOW CAN YOU USE GetPosition? 1. Fleet management Whether you have one vehicle or dozens, GetPosition gives you an overview of where your vehicles are, where they have been, and whether they are being used efficiently. You get an overview of every trip and the costs associated with it. 2. Asset protection The app alerts you if a vehicle moves without your consent, or if it is towed away. You will also be notified if a vehicle leaves a defined area, exceeds the allowed speed limit, or if there is unauthorized tampering with the device or jamming of the GPS/GSM signal. 3. Family and loved ones The location of a child on the way home from school, an elderly family member, or a pet โ€“ GetPosition brings peace of mind in situations you normally can't oversee, and serves as a simple way to prevent loss or uncertainty about the whereabouts of those close to you.
