BlackBerry: Publish Location Now

If you highlight a BlackBerry device that is activated on your account, you can access a “Publish Location Now” menu item. If you select this menu item, Blip will attempt to publish your current GPS location. This event will be written to your Publishing History. if successful, the location will be published to your account so that your current location is accessible to others and for your own purposes.

GPS Snitch: Locate

This menu item is only available when a GPS Snitch device is highlighted and allows you to request a location from the unit in real-time. In comparison, BlackBerry devices do not support real- time tracking since their locations are published manually or automatically.

Retrieving a location from a GPS Snitch takes approximately 20 to 40 seconds. To quickly locate a GPS Snitch when highlighted, press the “Enter” button.
