Location Based Services

Location-based services allow you to manage GPS statistics collection when your mobile devices have GPS capabilities and a phone. Configure the following options:

Enable location-based services	Enables GPS reporting for devices using the selected mobile device profile.
Reporting interval	Determines how often the device reports its GPS statistics to the Mobile Device Server.
Report location using cell towers	Uses information from nearby cell towers to establish the location of the device.
Report location using GPS	Uses GPS coordinates to establish the location of the device.
GPS acquisition timeout	Determines how often the device checks its GPS coordinates.
Prompt user to initiate GPS acquisition	Prompts the mobile device user to ask if Avalanche should be allowed to collect and report location-based data. This prompt will appear when the Enabler is launched.
	Provides a notification to the mobile device user after the device has failed to acquire GPS coordinates the specified number of times.

To configure location-based services:

From the Profiles tab, click the name of the mobile device profile you want to configure.
