EOTraveller

Hi Nick,

You may be right, but my experience with EOTraveller has not been good over the years.
I have had a similar experience when trialing an earlier version (with an iPhone 6) and David identified a glitch at the time between the app and iphone.
The phone sits in a dash mounted charging holder while traveling and the app was active.
The Hema did not lose GPS signal and neither should the iPhone.

I'm not bagging EOTraveller as such, just that the combination of the app running on an iphone is not consistent to be a reliable tool in my experience,
The only time the Hema has lost signal is when disconnecting and reapplying power to the device. It may enter a "shut down" state, instead of sleep mode, but I am aware of this peculiarity and keep my eye on it when turning off/on the ignition.
I would love to have an alternative to the Hema, but consistency and reliability are at the forefront of any alternative.
I also have an ipad, but the size of this device creates mounting in the car prohibitive.

My application for a tracking device is to have a moving map display to view and the ability to record my trips for future references. Both the Hema and a Spot device I own do this.
I am still to be convinced EOTraveller/iphone combination to be a reliable alternative. It is too late to correct once tracking has been lost for any reason.
I will keep "trialing" the app/iphone and modifying any settings that may improve reliability, but at this stage, my go to device is Hema Navigator. Unfortunately, the new Hema is not compatible with Exploroz maps, which is my preferred reference maps.
I will follow up with the help desk to see if David/Michelle can identify a potential problem.

Bill : i too have had my share of these problems & i have a hx1 witch i like .. maybe we expect to much from the GPS on these devices.

I use a android tab for gps tracking in a tractor & its far from perfect. Getting a different tracking line/trail if heading in different directions ie north or south on the same path ..

Good luck with sorting out your woes ????

All I can say is that there are hundreds of people who are using the Exploroz Traveller app on their IPhones and IPads successfully. I would humbly suggest there is something that you are doing or not doing that is causing the particular issue that you are experiencing. No offence intended, but have you checked the operating manual to ensure you are using the app correctly? Particularly the section on “Off Line” usage.

Macca.
