How do I configure it for maximum accuracy?
Setting up the new feature is very simple. Just follow these steps on your mobile phone:
- Open the SaveFamily app.
- Go to the main map screen.
- Tap the Settings icon (gear) in the top right corner.
- Disable the option called "LBS" completely.
- Set the update interval to every 10 minutes.
Step Summary:
App SaveFamily > Map > Settings > Disable LBS > Interval: 10 minutes
What do we achieve with this setting?
By making these adjustments, you will immediately activate the following benefits:
- Higher Accuracy: The location you see on the map will be much more precise.
- Improved Tracking: You will be able to locate the device more reliably.
- Optimized Updates: The watch will send its position regularly without overloading the app.
- Better Battery Performance: The optimized process consumes less energy.
Why is it better to disable LBS?
To understand the improvement, it is useful to know the difference between the two technologies:
- LBS (Location Based Service / Cell Tower Location): Calculates position based on distance to cell towers. It is less precise (can have a large margin of error) and sometimes consumes more battery.
- GPS (Global Positioning System): Connects directly to satellites. It offers the best possible accuracy (only a few meters of deviation) and, due to its efficiency in this new version, is more battery-friendly.
By disabling LBS, you force the system to use GPS primarily – the technology that provides the most reliable location data for tracking.
What results can I expect?
Once you apply these changes, you will notice that:
- The position displayed on the map is noticeably more accurate and consistent.
- Position updates are regular and smooth (every 10 minutes).
- The overall real-time tracking experience improves significantly.
- The watch and the app manage their resources better, contributing to longer battery life.
