How does Motion Based Polling operate?
In the Motion Based set-up, the unit remains dormant until it experiences some form of movement which activates the built-in GPS. The GPS then identifies its location using satellites. This process can take up to five minutes. Once a position is determined the device sends an SMS (provided GSM coverage is adequate) detailing the location to The Web Application. This information could also be sent to a mobile phone. If motion continues, updates will be repeated at pre set intervals of your choice (5, 15, 30 or 60 minutes.) Once motion ceases, a log of the journey can then be reviewed using the Web Application. The Motion Based set-up can be more power efficient, therefore maximizing battery life.

How does Poll on Demand operate?
The Poll on Demand set-up allows you to request the location of the device at any time through the internet. This set-up requires more battery power, as the GPS has to remain on at all times, and it is recommended that the Vehicle Adapter Module be used. Poll on Demand requires two requests to be made through the Web Application and therefore deducts twice as many Poll Credits as the Motion Based set-up.
