Geode Rotor is an innovative method for tracking your loved ones on a map from anywhere in the world. These could be your children, parents or friends. Rotor 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 any number of Rotor enabled devices (called “Associates”).

To do this, Rotor consists of two elements:

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

Rotor requires an iPhone 4, 4S, or 5 with iOS 6.0 or above.

Tracking is made possible by Rotor’s beacon function which can transmit a message and coordinates to the GeodeMe website on a continuous basis once enabled. The beacon can be set in one-minute increments from 5 to 60 minutes. Once configured, you can turn the beacon function on or off by pressing the blue “Beacon” button at the bottom middle of the tool bar.

Before using Rotor you should go the Rotor Website and set up a free Beacon account.

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.
