2019.3.0
2020-02-07
This update includes the addition of an ‘Alert & Track’ feature. On the initiation of an Emergency or Assistance call, the app will now transmit a location update to the SafeTrx server every 5 minutes instead of a single position in the following scenarios:
- If you don’t have an active trip and an Emergency or Assistance call is activated.
- Emergency or Assistance call activations for Track Only trips set to 10 minute and 30 minute recording intervals.
Where an Emergency or Assistance call is activated in Sail Plan mode or Track Only '5 minute' or 'Continuous’ modes, the app will continue reporting regular position updates to the SafeTrx server.
Please note:
-This new function is not a replacement of the tracking functions ‘Sail Plan’ and ‘Track Only.’ It provides minimal information.
-You cannot share your trip with ‘Emergency contacts’ or friends if you do not use one of the two tracking functions.

•If you don’t have an active trip and an Emergency call is activated.
•Emergency call activations for Track Only trips set to 10 minute and 30 minute recording intervals.
The ‘Alert & Track’ mode can be cancelled at any time by sliding the ’Slide to Cancel Alert’ button across the screen.
