With MyCarTracks you can easily save on your data plan with following 2 options:
- daily synchronization (data send to MyCarTracks) of recorded tracks in specific time
- synchronization with use of Wi-Fi connection (at home, on parking)
Story from John
One day John realized that he doesn’t need to have all recorded data sent through his device data plan right after they are recorded. It’s enough for him when he can generates weekly and monthly reports. John also learned he can save money when using our offline tracking with Daily synchronization turned ON. Daily records are then saved on the mobile and only when at home all data are automatically sent via WI-FI to MyCarTracks web. Everything without John doing anything with the app.
Advantages
- no monthly expenses on GSM data
- there is no need for SIM card in the mobile or tablet as there is no need for GSM data plan.
- overview of driven tracks and reports for every vehicle at the end of the day
Disadvantages
- web-access to your tracks only after synchronization
- no possibility to find out actual position (except on demand)
