Subscription renewal, and therefore the change of end date, is carried out manually by a member of the Capturs team. Consequently, there may be a delay between the receipt of payment for the subscription renewal and its update on the interface.

A confirmation email is sent to you when the renewal is active. It indicates the end of the activation process.

What settings should be made if the smartphone’s GPS does not work?

1 – Make sure that “location” is activated.

2 – Verify that you have authorized the application to access the position.

3 – On Android, go to the power saving settings (watch the picture below).

Why did my GPS tracker disappear from my account?

If after logging into your Capturs account you notice that your GPS tracker no appears on your account, this is usually due to an error in the choice of connection mode.
You should therefore log out using the button at the top right and choose the connection mode of the account on which the GPS tracker was registered: with Google, Facebook, Apple or with an e-mail address.

Why do I see straight lines between points and no precise trajectories?

The Capturs Model B GPS tracker can only transmit a position every 10 minutes with an accuracy of approximately 3 minutes if the “flight”, or 3D mode is switched off. The Capturs Model C GPS tracker is set to transmit a position every 15 minutes with an accuracy of approximately 5 minutes. On the interface, straight lines appear between these positions, which can pass over buildings, fields, etc.

Capturs GPS trackers have a GPS module, and depending on the number of satellites they are able to lock onto to find their position, the accuracy of the positions can vary, resulting in an off course.

The use of GPS Captors from the GSM range such as the Power or OBD allows for a more accurate track. Using GSM data, positions are closer together.

Why does the interface say “device already registered”?

Capturs GPS trackers can only be registered to one user account. If you try to add them to a second account, this message will appear. You will need to delete it from the old account before you can register it to a new one.

Why is my Model B GPS tracker not recognized when I plug it into the software (PC/Mac)?

Some configurations do not have by default the drivers to recognize the device, download and install them if necessary, the drivers are available for download on the page https://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm depending on the computer’s operating system.

If you have the latest version of the driver installed, it may be necessary to change the USB cable if it is not the original one because some cables are not compatible with the data transfer necessary to recover the memory of the device.

On Mac, there may be a conflict with the internal driver already present and it is necessary to follow the following procedure:

1 – Download the drivers at https://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm and install them. The installation will succeed, BUT because of the FTDI drivers built into Apple, they won’t work.

2 – Restart the computer and enter recovery mode by turning off and holding CMD + R on reboot.

3 – In recovery mode, open the terminal from the utilities at the top of the screen and type the following to temporarily disable system integrity protection:
csrutil disable
The computer will ask you to restart for the changes to take effect.

4 – On reboot, we now need to disable Apple’s FTDI drivers (NOTE: this can be undone at any time, don’t worry).
Open the Terminal and write the following.
cd /system/library/extensions
sudo mv AppleUSBFTDI.kext AppleUSBFTDI.disabled
sudo touch /Système/Bibliothèque / Extensions

5 – Restart your computer in recovery mode. Turn off, hold Commande + R and open the terminal in the Utilitaires.
Enter the following information to re-enable Apple’s system integrity protection
csrutil unable

Why isn’t my GPS tracker sending a position?

If the GPS trackers are transmitting well but no positions are being sent at the same time, this may be due to several phenomena specific to devices using satellite positioning systems.

The main losses of positions come from the signals dropping out between the GPS tracker and the satellites, thus preventing the triangulation of the position:

– From GPS fix just after departure, cold, where the GPS plotter could not see the constellation of satellites, and therefore needed about 3 minutes before starting to move to find the position and thus start to fix its position correctly.

– The outdoor environment: trees, buildings and even clouds can prevent the proper reception of data from a satellite and may cause triangulation to be prevented or accuracy to be lost.

How to use the GPS tracker optimally?

Metallic environment
A metallic environment disturbs Sigfox radio waves and can lead to signal losses. Do not use Sensors near or surrounded by a large metal object (water bottle).

GPS Fix
When it hasn’t been working for some time, the GPS needs to know the satellite constellation. It will automatically download the ephemeris and store it in its memory to get its position faster in the next fix. The first fix can thus be longer depending on the environment. A clear environment during the first fix will improve system performance. The ephemeris is valid for about 4 hours.
GPS does not work indoors. The Sigfox network, on the other hand, will often be operational. Movement information without position indications can thus be used in the software in a transparent way for the user, thus increasing its capacities. An approximate position can also be given by radio triangulation.

GPS tracker position
Position the GPS tracker preferably with the eyelet facing up and the face with the Capturs Logo facing out. Do not attach the GPS tracker to the eyelet as the vibratory motion of the pendulum will affect performance. The ideal is an external backpack pocket, such as a mesh pocket that is well maintained in the indicated position. Otherwise, position the GPS tracker with the face with the Capturs logo facing upwards.

Wearing the GPs tracker on a person
The principle of radio waves emission applies: the less obstacles we have, i.e. the more we are facing a free field, the better the result will be.
Thus on a person, the ideal is to carry it in an external pocket of the backpack or on the belt well maintained in the right direction, following the principles of positioning explained in the previous paragraphs. Avoid places where the beacon moves in all directions, turns over, vibrates too much or undergoes a continuous pendulum movement.
The GPS tracker will also work in pockets or bags, as the environment may have an influence. A metal frame or formwork will greatly degrade radio performance.
The higher the GPS tracker is carried, with no obstructions around it, and is well maintained, the better the result will be.

Is my GPS tracker waterproof?

The Model B (and A) Capturs GPS tracker is not waterproof and has no IP certification, but we provide with each GPS tracker a waterproof pouch that allows the GPS tracker to be sheltered from water.

The Model C Capturs, Endurance GSM, Mini and Power GPS trackers are certified IP67. They are waterproof, dustproof and weather resistant.

Please note that the Model C Beehive GPS tracker is not waterproof, unlike the standard Model C.

The Capturs OBD GPS Tracker must be connected to the vehicle’s OBD II socket and the Capturs Power GPS Tracker must be connected to the vehicle battery.

Why isn’t my GPS tracker sending a position?

If the GPS trackers are transmitting well but no positions are being sent at the same time, this may be due to several phenomena specific to devices using satellite positioning systems.

The main losses of positions come from the signals dropping out between the GPS tracker and the satellites, thus preventing the triangulation of the position:

– The outdoor environment: trees, buildings and even clouds can prevent the proper reception of data from a satellite and may cause triangulation to be prevented or accuracy to be lost.

Sigfox allows low consumption, long range (about 15 Km) and low data rate data communication. It is not necessary to have a SIM card to transmit data. There are 7 standards on the network, with frequency modulation, depending on the geographical area.

The GSM network is the one used by our phones for communication, with a lower range and higher consumption. It is necessary to have a SIM card compatible with the country of use.

What happens when I’m in a uncovered area?

When the GPS tracker is in an area not covered by the Sigfox network, the data sent by the GPS tracker cannot be received and therefore visible on the web or mobile interface. However, the GPS tracker Model B continues to record the positions in its internal memory (the “logger”), and it is therefore possible to recover the trip afterwards thanks to the Capturs software.
