It's easy. Click here for simple instructions.

iPhone OS 3.0 is required.

• Notifications need to be turned on and your LOCi app notifications must be turned on.
• Turn on Location Services under General Settings.

An ancient definition: LOCi were physical locations, usually in a familiar large public building, such as a market or a temple. The Method of Loci is perhaps the oldest mnemonic device. It was used by the Greeks in 500 B.C. to mentally position things-to-remember in a well-known location.

LOCi is a suite of apps that use your mobile handset's internal GPS (or Cell/WiFi) location services to determine your "Location"  latitude/longitude/altitude and utilizes the phone's cell based web services (HTTP) or the instant alerting feature included in 3.0 to transmit your coordinates to the GTX/PLS Portal or other devices that have downloaded the LOCi apps. 

The first time you run the app you will have to agree to the terms and conditions and then enter your registration details such as email, phone number and password.

Once you have registered, hit the "+" button to add contacts. 

Enter your contact's name, email and phone number. 

IMPORTANT: The email and phone number you enter for your contact MUST match the email and phone number that they used when registering with Tracking. 

For example, if you are trying to add your son and he registered with ron@gmail.com - 8055551212 then you must enter it exactly the same way when you add him to your Tracking contact list. *If you enter  1-805-432-5653 then it will fail. 

No, you can only track the people that give you permission to be tracked.

When someone adds you to their contact list, you will receive a Permission Request email.  Follow the instructions in this email to be able to share your location with them.

From the app, go to ALL CONTACTS tab, you will be able to see everyone that has added you to their contact list and their status: Blocked or Allow.  You can toggle their status by pressing on BLOCK or ALLOW. 

By default the app is set to transmit your phone's location every 10 minutes. To change it, go to SETTINGS Tab and press on Set Time Interval

No.  However, before you will be able to Track someone, they must have installed the app and have completed the registration process.  If they don't have the app, an invitation email will be sent to them.

You will know if they have the app when you are able to add them to your  Tracking contact list.

Tracking runs in the background with iPhone OS 4.0 and above, therefore, it's sharing the phone's location in the background at set intervals (you can change the Time Interval.)  GPS TRACKING sends and requests locations but the other party must accept your petition each and every time.

Yes, currently the app works with Android and Blackberry.  The app must be installed in their phone as well.

Yes, go to www.gpstrackingapps.com and login using the same details that you have registered with from the app.  Your profile is automatically created in the website when you register from the app.

Yes, go to www.gpstrackingapps.com and create a free profile. Then search for people to add to your contacts. Then track them. 

No, the www.gpstrackingapps.com website is free.  You only have to pay for the convenience of having the portable app installed on your phone. 

No, however they must download the App before you can start sending them a location (LOCi) request.

You will know if they have the App if a green light is next to their name after you add them to your contact list.

They have not downloaded the App or they registered under a different e-mail address.

On your contact screen there is an "Invite Others" button- that will prompt someone to get the App so you can begin exchanging location requests with one another.

Probably they used a different e-mail address than the one you used to add them in your list or perhaps their e-mail address was incorrectly entered into your list. Confirm you are typing in the correct e-mail address and that your friend used that address when they registered GPS Tracking.

Over the 2009 Holiday there was an issue with the Apple Notification Service, however the issue has been resolved and service has been restored.

GPS Tracking users who haven’t used the app prior to Dec 28th should re-save their credentials by opening the “Settings” tab – and click on the Save button (top right hand side)

This will re-register you on our servers and you will be able to fully enjoy the GPS Tracking iPhone App.

Cheers,

GPS Tracking does not work with unlocked phones, as device token is not generated by unlocked phones.

No, you must use a different email address in order to use the app on both.

Minimum OS Requirement for the App is 1.5

Start the app, click on the settings tab, fill in the registration form and save it. Once saved a confirmation email will be sent to the registered email address.

Click on the contacts tab and start adding your friends. Fill in their name, email address and phone number. Make sure you enter legitimate details as they will be used to send your GPS coordinates.

After the contact is added an invitation email will be sent to the specified email address. If the invited user also downloads and registers the GPS Tracking App, their status will be shown as ready to LOCi in your contact list.

Now click on the contact in your app and you will be able to send your location or request their location.

Clicking on the send button will capture your GPS coordinates and an SMS containing your location will be sent to your contact. Your contact accepts your coordinates by clicking on the see LOCi tab and your location is shown on the map.

Similarly you may request the location of your friends by clicking on the request tab. This will send SMS to other user and they can see the request by clicking on “request loci” tab. Once they click on your request their GPS coordinates will be sent back to you and a map will be saved in see loci tab.

If you have any questions, please contact support@locimobile.com

Yes, only if data roaming is turned on.  This may incur additional charges from your carrier. 

Make sure that you have pressed SAVE after you entered your name and email address.

Some antivirus software and ISP may block or delay this e-mail; if you still have not received the e-mail do the following:

Absolutely. Click here for the interactive iLOCi2 tutorial.

Lite version is free and let’s you have 2 users on your buddy list. It is designed to show you how iLOCi2 works and means you can only LOCi 2 people. The regular version cost’s $2.99 and let’s you have up to 8 users in your buddy list and can enjoy LOCing –friends, kids and co workers.

There is an iLOCi2 Platinum version which allows up to 24 users coming out soon along with an Enterprise version which will allow an unlimited amount of users. Please e-mail us if you would like to be notified when we announce the Platinum or Enterprise version release date.

No. Once you download iLOCi2 Regular, it will disable your iLOCi2 Lite version.

No, however Apples 3.0 push notification does so your phone may be experiencing a faster power drain. It should be corrected with the release of Apples version 3.1  http://www.tuaw.com/2009/07/07/singing-the-iphone-battery-blues/

Yes since the GPS system relies on your phones ability to “see” satellites, being inside a building will reduce the LOCi’s accuracy. If you do not have a clear line of site to the sky your phone will use the nearest wifi location as your LOCi position.

ID and Password are case sensitive. Phone number must not include dashes and must be 10 digits long.

LOCi will work outside the US but may incur data charges. If your iPhone service is provided by a US carrier, you may incur roaming charges. If your iPhone service is provided by wireless carriers outside of the US, you must check your data plan with your provider.

Go to http://track1.gtxcorp.com and use credentials that were e-mailed to you by LOCiMe support. You can reach the tracking portal directly from the app by tapping on the icon in the lower portion of the screen.

We will be releasing new features and options soon and will inform you when these features are available.

$5.99 per month or a $39 per year special for the first 5,000 users that register.

Yes.

No, however a clear line of site to the skyline does increase the accuracy and time to acquire a lock.

Red means you do not have a GPS lock, yellow means you are starting to get a GPS lock and green means you have a GPS lock.

It can take several minutes to acquire a GPS lock, especially the first time you start LOCi or if you start in a brand new location, however the average should be less than 45 seconds.

LOCi will continue to collect your latitude and longitude coordinates and will transmit once it reestablishes a network connection, as long as you have not stopped the app by pushing the Stop and Clear button.

Reporting Frequency is how often you want your iPhone to transmit its location coordinates back to the GTX PLS viewing portal. Location Frequency is how often you want your iPhone to collect and store your location coordinates. For example you may want to collect your coordinates every minute but only send back to the server every 10 minutes.

Yes.

Yes, there is a LOCi Mobile suite of geo-specific applications scheduled for release every 2 to 3 months in 2009 through the beginning of 2010. For more information please visit locimobile.com or gtxcorp.com.
