The GetiSight^TM Tracking system is a complete hardware and software solution for tracking your family vehicle. The GetiSight^TM tracking device installed in your car uses GPS satellite data to compute its location and speed. This information and more can be accessed through your private log in to the GetiSight^TM website. On the website you can track your vehicle, monitor the status of your device, and create your own personal E-mail and cellular phone text message alerts based on your vehicle’s location, speed, and more.

While the vehicle is in motion, the tracker reports its position, speed, heading and time to the GetiSight^TM website approximately every thirty seconds if it is traveling above 30mph. For speeds between 10mph and 30mph, the tracker will report every ¼ mile traveled, and for speeds below 10mph, the tracker will report every 1/8 mile traveled.*

When the tracker is stationary, it will report its position to the GetiSight^TM website approximately every hour.*

In addition to reporting on motion, the tracker will notify the GetiSight^TM website when the ignition key is turned on or off or when it has switched to its internal battery. Refer to the section on Route Markers for information about how to read the detailed data that is sent from your GetiSight^TM tracking device to the website.

* Reporting times are approximate and are subject to change.

Description of Indicators (Lights)

The indicator lights on your GetiSight^TM tracking device (see Error! Reference source not found. ) give you information about how the device is working.

· The USR1 light is steady GREEN when the device can communicate with the GetiSight^TM website server.

· The USR2 light is steady RED when the device can see GPS satellites.

· The GPS ON light is steady RED when the device is powered.

Description of I/O (Input/Output)

Your GetiSight^TM tracking device has the following input/output features (shown in Error! Reference source not found.):

· Antennas connections for both the cellular network antenna and the GPS antenna (both antennas are combined in one unit with separate feed lines).

· Power connection to provide switched and un-switched +12V power to the unit.

Internal Battery

Your GetiSight^TM tracking device contains an internal battery to keep the device operating even if it has been disconnected from vehicle power. When the device detects that it is operating from its internal battery, it switches to a timed reporting mode, reporting every ten minutes until the battery is exhausted (about 3 hours).

GPS Tracking

GPS Tracking is accomplished through communication with an array of global positioning satellites. For this reason, it is important that your device be mounted with a clear view of the sky. Any time sky view is obstructed (e.g. the device is stowed in the glove compartment, the vehicle is parked in a garage, or the vehicle is driven through a tunnel) the GetiSight^TM device may not be able to receive the signals from the necessary satellites, and an accurate “fix” on your vehicle’s position may not be possible.

The GetiSight^TM Website

The GetiSight^TM website allows you to display the locations of your device(s) on a map powered by Google Maps™. This section provides instructions for logging in to the website, including initial sign in for first time users, as well as information on using the web controls provided. We highly recommend that first time users read through the entire manual before use. The website is designed with predetermined defaults. Once you are familiar with the website, we recommended that you set your own custom preferences.

Logging In

The GetiSight^TM website login page at getiSight.com/tracker can be seen in Figure 1 below.

Figure 1 - GetiSight^TM Login Page

Signing on for the First Time

You already have an GetiSight^TM Account! When your unit was sent to you, a GetiSight^TM website account was automatically setup for you and a Welcome EMAIL was sent to the EMAIL account you provided. The Welcome EMAIL contains your temporary Username and a Password. You should change your password to one you can remember the very first time you log in. You can change your Username or Password from the My Profile menu selection.

Logging In

To log in to your GetiSight^TM website account, follow the steps below:

From the login page at getiSight.com/tracker, enter your username and password in the appropriate spaces as shown in Figure 2 below:

Figure 2 - Logging In

You may click the Remember me next time checkbox and your username will appear in the appropriate box the next time you visit the site.

NOTE: This option is not recommended if other people have access to the computer you are using to log in. See Keeping Your Data Safe below.

Click Sign in and you will be taken to your GetiSight^TM website map.
If you forget your Username or Password, you can click on the I forgot my username/password link and follow the directions on the website to retrieve or reset your Username/Password.

Adding Additional Devices to Your Account

If you order additional devices, you can specify whether you want them to be added to an existing account. When shipped to you, the new device(s) will automatically appear when you log in to your account. Having your account number handy will expedite the ordering process. You can find it in the My Profile configuration menu. See Updating Your Profile.

Keeping your data safe

The GetiSight^TM tracking device tracks the location of your vehicle as long as the device is powered on. This information, while a valuable family resource, could also be dangerous in the wrong hands. Stalkers, thieves, or anyone with criminal intent could use the information to maliciously locate your vehicle and its passengers. It is your responsibility to keep your personal Username and Password secure to prevent unauthorized surveillance of your vehicle.

Reading Your Map

When you have logged in successfully, you will be directed to the map, Figure 3 shows an annotated version of the map showing the basic controls and features outlined in the following section. When you first sign in, you will see your vehicle in the center of the map.

Note: the very first time you sign in, if your tracker hasn’t had a clear view of the sky for at least two minutes, you may find your vehicle off the coast of Africa! This position is the 0’ latitude, 0’ longitude position on the globe. Once your tracker gets a GPS Fix, it will appear on the map in the proper place.

Figure 3 - Your Map

Your Vehicle Icon

Upon signing in, the current position of your vehicle is marked by a small picture of a car shown in the center of your screen as shown in Figure 4. Your map is, by default, centered on your vehicle. You may change the icon displayed for each device by selecting from several icons in the Manage Devices configuration menu. See Configuration Menus.

Figure 4 – Initial Position

Your Route

A colored line matching the color of your car icon shows the route your vehicle has traveled.

NOTE: Your route is traced by a straight line connecting one position logged by the GetiSight^TM tracking device after another. This line may not necessarily follow the contours of the roads shown on map images powered by Google Maps™. This is normal, and is not an indication that your vehicle has gone off the road.

Route Markers

Markers along your traveled route:

· Indicate the direction your vehicle was driving

· Are color coded to indicate how fast your vehicle was driving

· Can be clicked to provide information about your vehicle at that point in time (see Figure 5 below)

Figure 37 - Help Menu

Using Your GetiSight^TM Tracking System

What the System Is For

The GetiSight^TM tracking system is a valuable resource for monitoring the most important people in your life. It can be a helpful tool for allowing the parents of teenaged drivers to stay informed of their children’s locations and driving habits. In providing this resource, however, the makers of the GetiSight^TM tracking system are in no way advocating the propriety or effectiveness of any particular parenting style.

Using the Map to Find Your Vehicle

Logging in to the GetiSight^TM website will immediately bring you to your map, displaying a map with the current location of your vehicle in the very center. To view areas of the map outside of this view (for example, to trace the route your vehicle has traveled beyond the current map boundaries) follow the instructions found in Zooming and Panning.

· Zooming in gives you a more detailed view of the map while zooming out gives you a wider view, covering more geographical area.

· Panning moves the center of the map north, south, east, or west to allow you to see geographical features in those directions.

If you would rather see a particular geographical area stationary on your map regardless of where your vehicle is, follow the guidance for keeping your map stationary provided in step 3 of Changing Your Map Settings.

Making Sure Your Vehicle Is Where it Is Supposed to Be

The ability to find your vehicle on the map provided by the GetiSight^TM website at any time and to trace the route your vehicle has traveled over any timeframe allows you to:

· Keep track of how well your young drivers are following the boundaries you set on their newly-earned driving privileges and

· Monitor the safety of your family and vehicle.

In addition to the ability to know at any time where your vehicle is, GetiSight^TM tracking system provides you with the ability to customize this product to the boundaries you set by allowing you to set up alert notifications sent to you via e-mail, cell phone text messages, or both.

Using the GeoFence features, you can create alerts that notify you when your vehicle enters an area that is off limits or leaves an area where it is supposed to be at certain times and days

For guidance in using these features, see Creating Alerts.

Watching your Vehicle’s Speed and Setting Speed Limits

The GetiSight^TM tracking device and website provide multiple ways to monitor your vehicle’s speed, both from your computer and inside your vehicle.

· The arrows and stop icons shown along your vehicle’s route on the map are color coded by travel speed, and can be clicked to give a speed reading for your vehicle at the time that position was logged. See Route Markers.

· You can create your own custom alert that will notify you via e-mail or a text message to your cell phone when your vehicle exceeds a speed you have set for that alert. See New Speeding Alert for guidance on this option.

· The device will emit a beep when it detects that your vehicle is traveling at or over a user-determined speed. To set this speed see Managing Your Registered Device(s). You may also instruct the device to beep when an alert condition is detected. See Creating Alerts.

Keeping Track of Miles

The GetiSight^TM website allows you to enter the odometer reading from your vehicle(s) (see step 8 of Managing Your Registered Device(s)) and then provides an approximate reading of the mileage on your car along with speed and location when you click a route marker on your map.

NOTE: Your route is calculated by measuring as the crow flies between positions along the route, approximately every two seconds. Therefore your vehicle’s exact travel path may be slightly different (typically longer) than the path measured by the device. False GPS readings can also affect the accuracy of the odometer. If you use the odometer feature, it is important to periodically check the reading on your vehicle’s odometer and update, if necessary, your entry on the GetiSight^TM website.

The GetiSight^TM Tracking System as a Tool

The GetiSight^TM tracking device and GetiSight^TM website are provided as a valuable resource for monitoring the use of your vehicle(s). GPS technology allows an excellent approximate location and speed for the device, but it is important to remember that speeds and positions are not always exact. The device makes a data transmission roughly every 30 seconds, but does not provide information between those transmissions. For this reason, you will notice that the points of data transmission marking your routes are connected with straight lines as the crow flies and only approximate the path your vehicle has traveled. You will also notice that even when your vehicle is stationary, your device may transmit a slightly different position from one scheduled data transmission to the next. This is magnified if your vehicle is in a parking garage, or your garage at home. This is normal behavior for your device, and should not prevent the GetiSight^TM tracking system from being an effective tool for tracking your vehicle.

Tricking the GetiSight^TM Tracking Device

Two simple ways of preventing the tracker from logging the vehicle’s route are:

· Removing power to the device so that it shuts off and does not log driving events

· Moving the device to an alternate power source (such as another vehicle)

The GetiSight^TM tracking device does not stop working just because you unplug it from your vehicle, but will simply switch to battery power. It is capable of operating normally for several hours from its battery. When the device switches to battery power, it posts this fact to the GetiSight^TM website[1]. You will see this indication in the Status column of the detailed data. See Route Markers. You can use this information, along with comparing the odometer reading from the website with the actual reading on the car at some later time, to help you decide if your teen is trying to prevent you from seeing where he or she has been.

Tutorial cases

A Helpful Reminder – Setting a GeoFence Alert

Jack wants to receive a text message on his cell phone when Jill arrives at school in the morning and leaves in the afternoon. He creates a GeoFence alert following the steps below.

He logs into the GetiSight^TM website.
He clicks Create Alerts à New GeoFence Alert.
He pans and zooms the map as needed until Jill’s school is visible.
He draws a GeoFence around Jill’s route big enough allow for GPS error, then clicks >>Next.
He completes the alert settings as shown in Figure 38, then clicks Save and Close.

Figure 38 - GeoFence Example

Jack will now receive a text message on his cell phone when Jill’s vehicle enters or leaves the GeoFence around her school.

Setting a Speed Alert Depending on Location

Jill has received a warning for driving too fast through her family’s neighborhood. But it’s hard for even experienced drivers to remember to slow down enough, after leaving the freeway on the way home from a long day at school or work. Since Jill loses track of how fast she is driving, Jill and her father agree to set an alert that will cause the GetiSight^TM tracker in her car to send him a text message when she drives over 30 mph, but only in the her neighborhood around her house and school, following the steps below:

They log in to the GetiSight^TM website.
They pan and zoom the map as needed until Jill’s entire route from highway to home is visible.
They click Create Alerts à New GeoFence Alert.
They pan and zoom the map as needed until Jill’s entire route through their neighborhood is visible.

Figure 39 – Speeding and GeoFence Alert Example

They draw a GeoFence around Jill’s route, leaving a large enough margin to allow for GPS error, then click >>Next.
They set the speed limit for the alert to 30 mph. They complete the alert settings as shown in Figure 39, then click Save and Close.

The GetiSight^TM tracking device in Jill’s vehicle will send a text message alert to her father each time the device detects a speed above 30, when she is within the boundaries drawn around her route home from school, after leaving the freeway.

NOTE: All conditions defined in setting up the alert must be true for an alert to be sent.

NOTE: Alerts are generated when the device sends a status message that meets the alert conditions. This may take up to 30 seconds from the time conditions are met to the time the alert is sent. These alerts can only serve as helpful tools, and cannot substitute for learned safe driving habits.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

This section contains some of the most frequently asked questions and is a good reference when you are trying to resolve a problem:

Q: What is GPS?

A: GPS stands for Global Positioning System which is a system of satellites that transmit information to a GPS device giving it is position on earth. The positioning information is typically accurate to within several feet.

Q: How do I see the information from the GetiSight^TM tracker?

A. A user logs into our secure website, enters their username and password then views the location information online. The Web application utilizes Google Maps to show where the GetiSight^TM tracker is and where it has been.

Q: Can other people login and see my data?

A: No one can see the data from your tracker unless you want them to. You can create a user account with a separate login and password for other people that you want to view your account. Always keep your user-id and password confidential.

Q: Is there any other way to see information from the GetiSight^TM tracking device.

A: The easiest way to see information from the GetiSight^TM tracker is to login to our Web application on a computer. Alternatively a user can set alerts and be notified via email or text messages when certain things occur.

Q: What information is available via the notification process?

A: An enclosed area can be created on the user application website utilizing Google maps that will allow you to know when the GetiSight^TM tracker has crossed into a specific location. This is typically referred to as a Geofence area. Your phone can receive a text message stating that the GetiSight^TM device has crossed into or out of the Geofence.

Q: Is the information displayed in real-time.

A: Yes the information is effectively real-time. The device posts new location information approximately once every 30 seconds along with the time the data was acquired.

Q: Can I see where the GetiSight^TM tracker was yesterday or last week?

A: Yes, you can view the data that has been collected by the GetiSight^TM tracker as far back as 30 days. After 30 days the data is no longer available.

Q: When using a device in a car; can I be notified when the car is speeding?

A: Yes, again using our user web application, speed alerts can be set so that you are notified via email or text messages when the car exceeds your stated speed limit. Different speed alerts can also be set for each Geofence area that you create.

Q: How is the device installed in a car?

A: Typically, your GetiSight^TM device is installed under your dashboard by a trained installer.

Q: Can I see multiple GetiSight^TM device locations on one map?

A: Yes, the tracking site allows you to view multiple devices on one map.

Q: Are teens receptive to the GetiSight^TM monitoring device?

A: Yes. When teenagers reach driving age they want to drive! The device is developed to help protect your teen driver. With the device mounted in a vehicle it will give parents peace of mind knowing where their teen drivers are and how they are driving and this will usually lead to more frequent use of the car for the teen.

Q: How do I know what the lights on the front of the devices are telling me?

A: See Description of Indicators (Lights).

Q: Is Google Maps the only way to view the GPS tracking system?

A: Yes, but you do not have to view the tracker position all the time in order for it to be a useful tool. Try setting up GeoFences to send you a message when your vehicle enters or leaves areas you define. See New GeoFence Alert.

Q: Is there a local service center; customers can go to if they need a replacement or any technical question?

A: No, but you can always call our technical support center at 1-877-900-4744. If your unit needs to be replaced, they can issue a return authorization and send you a new unit.

Q: What if I lose my username and password?

A: As long as you can retrieve EMAIL, you can retrieve your password and username. Click (I forgot my username/password) on the sign in page. If you don’t remember what EMAIL address you used, call customer service at 1-877-900-4744.

Q: Where do I get my user name and password?

A: When you order your device, a Welcome EMAIL is sent to the EMAIL address you specified on your order. That Welcome EMAIL has your temporary username and password. You may change your Username and Password at any time from the My Profile menu selection.

A: Where can I take my unit?

Q: Your unit will work anywhere within the US that is served by AT&T’s GPRS data service. You can see the coverage map at http://www.wireless.att.com/coverageviewer/. Be sure to click the ‘Data’ tab:

A: What if I am outside of AT&T GPRS coverage area for a short time?

Q: Your unit contains a store-and-forward capability that will remember each time the unit posts data. When the device comes back into range, it will re-transmit all of the posts that were attempted when the devices was out of range to the server and they will appear on the map.

Q: My unit didn’t follow the road for several miles, was my vehicle in flight?

A: No, don’t worry, your vehicle was on the road, the problem was probably just the GPS failing to get an adequate fix. We call these “flyovers.” There can be several reasons this happened:

1. Your unit isn’t getting a good enough view of the sky. Try repositioning the antenna until you get reports from the unit that show six or more satellites in the Data Detail.

2. If your flyover occurs consistently after leaving a location where the unit has been idle for more than an hour, the flyover is likely due to a normal time-to-first-fix. We expect the unit to begin to be able to calculate it’s location from the satellite data within about a minute. In certain cases due to satellite positioning, weather conditions, the length of time the unit is off, etc, this could take up to two minutes or maybe slightly longer if the unit doesn’t have a clear view of the sky. If this is the case, try the suggestions from # 1.

3. Your unit has lost sync with the cellular network. As with cell phones, there are times when the connection gets dropped, more likely due to network conditions, switching cell towers, etc. Under certain circumstances, the unit cannot detect that it has been dropped from the network for several minutes. There are safeguard mechanisms that detect this outage and force a re-connect, but during the outage no postings occur. If this occurs consistently, contact technical support.
