Viewing one tracker (option "Link for tracking")
A tracking link is the provision of temporary or permanent access to view the movement of your tracker.
The link can be given to any person, even unregistered on the website of the monitoring platform http://livegpstracks.com. You can post it on your blog or social media accounts.
Due to the complex mechanism of link generation, it is impossible to guess or pick it up by brute force. Therefore, you can be sure that outsiders will not be able to access the movement of your tracker. You can set a password for the entrance and then access will be only for people to whom you personally tell the password.
Links can be unlimited or limited in time. Unlimited links give the right to view the movement and tracks as long as the tracker is connected to the account.
Time-limited links give the right to watch the movement and tracks only for a given period of time. Before the beginning and after the end of the link, it is not possible to view the tracks and move.
Links can be created both on the website http://livegpstracks.com in tracker management, in the Mobile Dispatcher application or in the RealTimeTracker application.
The number of links created for each connected tracker is not limited.
