FlexiSPY allows you to track GPS in one of two ways from your online portal. 

The first mode is continuous.  This is where the location of the device is continually uploaded to your online portal according to a timer. 

The second mode, called on-demand, allows you to just get the current device location at a particular time and can help conserve device battery life.

How to view the device location data

Inside your online portal, go to Data > Locations to view the device location data.

Screenshot 1: View data on the Target Device Location here.

Here you can do four main things:

• View historical GPS data on a map
  
• Export GPS data
  
• Turn GPS tracking on or off or change the GPS location timer
  
• Get the current device location
  

View historical GPS data on a map

Inside your online portal you can view historical GPS data between any two dates you specify. You can also animate the location movement of the device and see how the device travelled between the different locations.

From the locations menu, click the History tab.

Screenshot 2: View your device's Location History here.

From this menu, choose the start and end date for the GPS data you want to search for.

You will see the GPS results appear on the map, along with the co-ordinates. If you click the Animate button, you can see also the path that the device took.

Export GPS data

You can also export the location data to use in your favourite mapping application - such as Google Earth.  This allows you to get a deeper understanding of where the device has traveled to and from, as well as to understand the mind of the device owner better as well.

To do this, click the Export button.

Then, click the Download button on the dialog box that appears.

With the saved KML file, you can open up the location data in your favourite mapping application, such as Google Earth.  The blog article below gives you more information on how you can do this.

Turn GPS tracking on or off or change the GPS location timer

FlexiSPY captures GPS data from the device based on two factors.

• Whether or not GPS tracking is enabled in FlexiSPY
  
• The GPS timer
  

You must have the GPS tracking feature turned on inside your online portal and GPS turned on for the device itself in order for FlexiSPY to capture GPS data and upload it to our online portal.

To view or change these options, click GPS Tools.

Screenshot 7: Select GPS tools to set up your parameters.

From the dialog box that appears, click Start Location Tracking.

Screenshot 8: Here you'll be able to begin tracking the device location.

From this menu you can turn GPS tracking on or off as well as set the GPS timer.

Screenshot 9: Configure your GPS Tracking features here.

As you can see in the example above, we have location tracking enabled and the GPS interval set to 20 minutes.  That means that location data will be uploaded every 20 minutes to your portal as long as the TARGET device has location tracking enabled on the device itself already.

Get the Current Device Location on-demand

FlexiSPY also lets you get the current location of the TARGET device on-demand.  That means that you can get the location of the device anytime you wish, without having to wait for the software to upload location data according to the GPS timer.

To get the current device location, from the GPS Tools menu, click Get Current Location.

Screenshot 10: Trigger location updates manually here.

In the menu that appears, click Get Current Location Now.

Screenshot 11: Get up-to-date Location Tracking.

The software will get the current location at that time from the device and upload it your online portal.
