GPS tracking is an optional feature available to Gruntify users. Controllers in the office can see where the field workers are currently, and field workers can see who else is nearby. Talk to your team leader to see if it is turned on for your installation.
How does GPS tracking work?
The Gruntify app uses the location services built into the user’s mobile device to determine the user’s location. If the user has the location services turned off, they will be prompted to turn them on before the app will run.

A User moving at under 5km/hr send updates every 5 minutes.
A User moving at over 5km/hr send updates every 15 seconds by default. This allows you to see people on the move from job to job.
After 16 minutes, the user is assumed inactive and their image turns grey on the map.
After 2 hours, the user is assumed to no longer be at that location and is removed from the map.
If you turn on Quiet Times then the GPS tracking will be turned off during the quiet times. See App Setting and Preferences for details.
