Location Services

Setting up Location Services on the KAREWatch™ App. 

  1. On your KAREWatch™ App, go to 'Location Services'
  2. Set to 'update every 10 minutes' or every hour. Note: The frequency of updating will affect data and battery life.
  3. When historic tracking or geofencing is not required, switch to Sleep Mode (i.e., location on demand) to conserve data and power.
  4. Then, 'Save'.

Whichever setting you choose, you can always fetch the current location manually using the green pin on the map. The recommended time interval for location updates frequency is 10 minutes.
