Great question! Locate on demand can extremely handy when you need to know where your valuable is at any given moment .



Before locate on demand works the settings required for it is that you should be on be on optimised for Responsive mode - it should be available in your region (To understand this see Understanding GPS modes - Optimised for Battery VS Responsiveness).




If you are on any other mode including Motion Only Mode (Ultra Low Power Mode), then locate on demand will just send you the location the next time the GPS is awake (for example, on the schedule you have set or upon an alert) and we therefore, recommend you also to use your accelerometer so you don't miss a beat when something is moving. To understand this, please see Using the Accelerometer.
