Having trouble because your Logistimatics tracker isn't updating its location? We know how crucial accurate tracking is for your peace of mind, and we're here with solutions. This guide will walk you through the right steps to get your tracker's location reporting back on track.
Why Isn't Your Tracker Checking In?
Your tracker's unresponsiveness could be due to a few different reasons:
Where It's Placed: It should have a clear line of sight to the sky for GPS signals.
Cell Coverage: The tracker needs a decent cellular signal to communicate.
Busy Networks: Heavy cell tower traffic can slow things down.
Carrier Maintenance: Sometimes, carriers need to fix things up, which can cause delays.
Moving Fast: If the tracker is on the go, updates might lag.
Sitting Still: Trackers can stop updating if they haven't moved for a while.
It's worth noting that we can't always control certain factors, like cell tower maintenance. But often, these issues fix themselves when the tracker heads to a new spot with better conditions.
