About SOS & Locate
ANVIL SOS & Locate sends the location of the iPhone in the event of an emergency by the users request to a pre defined security group.
Users can also enable device tracking from within the app.
This app is a free value add-on for all ANVIL tracking clients. Individuals are not charged for using this app, however you must be registered on the ANVIL tracking platform.
Please note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
