When you first set up your GPS, the default report time would be hourly with GPS on as default. To set up the right schedule for you, it is important you set up your own schedule.
As a general rule longer gaps between report intervals = longer battery life
You can set up or change schedule via the app or via the portal. Please see below on how to do so.
PLEASE NOTE: When changing the schedule on your device, the time it takes for that new schedule to take place depends on the mode you have set it to for example, Optimised for battery life vs Optimised for responsiveness and whether or not you have power saving features in your area. To understand more see the "further reading" section below.
Via the App:
1. Select your device, click on more settings
2. Then click "Alerts and Reports". In the "Reports" section you can select your reporting interval and the schedule. The schedule refers to whether you want it to report GPS, GPS with cellular back up and/or temperature.
