Change the ping interval from the 10-minute default

Every GeoTag ships with a 10-minute positioning interval. This short tutorial shows you how to change it remotely for any tracker, to save battery or to get updates more often.

Time: about 1 minute  ·  Where: the GeoTag's pop-up card › interval menu

Select the button to open the tutorial. It runs in a pop-up over this page and walks you through each click.

On a small screen, open the tutorial in a new tab instead.

Steps

1. Select the GeoTag to open its pop-up card. The card shows when it last pinged.
2. Open the interval menu.
3. Choose a new interval, for example 30 minutes to conserve standby battery, or a shorter one for near real-time updates.
4. Confirm the change.

Good to know

• The new interval takes effect the next time the GeoTag gets a GPS fix, so it may not change until the tracker next moves.
• Longer intervals conserve standby battery. Shorter intervals give near real-time tracking when visibility matters most.
• You can set any interval from 1 minute to 60 minutes.
