This app unlocks many innovative new features including access to your vehicle’s health, recent journeys, vehicle alerts and even a car locator.

The app has the following features:
• Dashboard – gives you a quick rundown of your vehicle’s status and driving activity.
• Eco Driving Score – helps improve your driving skills to reduce fuel usage and your impact on the environment.
• Car locator – uses the last saved location to guide you back to your car. It’s ideal if you’re on the road a lot and often park in unfamiliar places.
• Location View – View up to 10 vehicle locations on a map at one time.
• Geo-Fencing – can create up to 6 different boundaries per vehicle on a map. These can alert you or friends to when your vehicles leaves or gets to a given area, such as work, or when you arrive at the end of a long journey. Alerts can be viewed within the app and sent via email.
• Live tracking – follow your vehicle on a map with updates every 5 seconds giving location, speed and direction.
• Recent Trips - automatically saves all the trips you take in your vehicle and the trip details, including start/end locations, distance traveled and engine idle time. In addition to viewing the route your vehicle took on a map, you can export your trip details to a spreadsheet.
• Diagnostics – assesses your vehicle’s status and alerts are then sent through to help prevent problems before they develop into more serious issues.
• Alerts – gives you useful event and status information, such as: geo-fence crossings, speeding, high engine RPM, low battery and vehicle motion (only when parked). You can forward each alert to any number of email addresses and to any number of cell phones as text messages.
