GPS technologies have revolutionized nearly every aspect of human life, and now they're revolutionizing how Sonicu's customers think about automated monitoring. 

Every SoniShield unit equipped with cellular data transmission can obtain GPS location information and send latitude and longitude coordinates to SoniCloud. 

This data is visualized via SoniCloud to show the physical location of a meter in real time or over a timespan.

GPS tracking works when the SoniShield meter acquires a GPS lock. The tracking may struggle to connect in certain situations, such as on airplanes, in densely packed areas, and in elevators. 

It's important to note that enabling GPS on a SoniShield Duo meter will impact battery life.

If you're an existing SoniShield user, you may be wondering how to enable GPS functionality on your cellular meters. 

There are three key things to note:

  1. Users can contact Sonicu support to enable GPS monitoring. 
  2. An additional point of paid monitoring for every GPS unit that is enabled is required
  3. Using the SoniCloud Mobile app, GPS tracking is enabled (or disabled) on the meter by connecting to the SoniShield meter via Bluetooth. 

Future revisions of the SoniShield firmware will allow the Sonicu support team to remotely enable GPS on your SoniShield meter.
