v2Connect is the messaging and Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) companion app to use alongside v2track's aircraft, vehicle, marine and heavy machinery GPS tracking hardware. v2Connect when connected to v2track hardware gives you full two way messaging capabilities between the app and v2track website, other v2track equipped planes/vehicles/boats etc and also out to cellular phones (SMS) and email addresses. In addition to messaging the app also provides the ability to set the driver/pilot in command, enter a flight destination, calculate weight and balance/manifests and complete flight checklists. All these details are automatically transmitted by the connected v2track tracker to the v2track tracking website. v2Connect requires a Bluetooth or WiFi connection between your iOS device and v2track tracking hardware for operation and is not a standalone product. Newly added in September 2023 is the ability to connect via Bluetooth to GroundControl/Rock7 RockAIR, RockSTAR & RockFLEET tracking hardware.
