Marco Polo enables businesses to track assets of interest including vehicles, packages and persons. Know where your vehicles are at any moment, know their speed, route and history.

Track your mobile assets on a map with alerts for geo boundaries, speed exceeded and stationary alerts. Track your trucks, cars or field workers. Marco Polo not only enables you to know where they are, the user at the other end can send embedded messages and you can track their speed at each beacon point. You can track as many Marco Polo enabled devices (called “Associates”) as you have in your asset base.

To do this, Marco Polo consists of two elements:

1) A background beacon function on your iPhone;
2) A website for tracking your beacon transmitted coordinates.

Marco Polo requires an iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4 and iOS 4.2 or newer with background capability.

Tracking is made possible by Marco Polo's beacon function which can transmit a message and coordinates to the MarcoPoloMe website on a continuous basis once enabled. The beacon can be set in one-minute increments from 1 to 60 minutes. Once configured, you can turn the beacon function on or off by pressing the blue “Polo” button at the bottom middle of the tool bar.

Before using Marco Polo you should go the Marco Polo Website and setup a tracking account. You can do this by going to www.marcopolome.com. Once you have an account, go to the the configure section of Marco Polo and enter and save your Username and Password from the www.marcopolome.com website. Now you are ready to start tracking.

The Website is where you would go to track your iPhone or the asset associated with the phone from it’s list of built in tracking and mapping functions.

Please note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. To reduce battery consumption you can plug your rotor equipped iPhone into a vehicle charger while in tracking mode.
