Activate X-GPS tracker app

Activate the X-GPS Tracker app to turn a smartphone into a GPS tracker. Send an invitation to the employee and configure the app on their device.

What is X-GPS tracker app?

The X-GPS Tracker app transforms a smartphone or tablet into a GPS device, providing real-time tracking for field staff such as drivers, couriers, service technicians, construction workers, sales representatives, and more. Using a combination of satellite navigation signals (GPS), GSM, and Wi-Fi networks, the app accurately determines the device owner’s location while maintaining low energy consumption depending on settings.

Additionally, the app lets field employees report their location, status, and task completion in real time. Users can share their location, upload photos, and fill out forms, so companies can track workforce progress and manage field tasks.

Activating the X-GPS Tracker app on the Navixy platform involves two general steps: inviting an employee and configuring the application on the employee’s side.

Step 1: Send an invitation to an employee

Invite an employee to install the X-GPS Tracker App first. You can do that from the Navixy Web Interface or X-GPS Monitor App.

Using Navixy web interface

• Log in to your Navixy user account.

• In the left menu, click Device activation.

• Find and select the X-GPS Tracker option.

• Create a label for the device (e.g., "Driver John Smith") and, optionally, add it to a group.

• Enter the phone number and/or email address of your employee where to send them an invitation.

• Go to the next step and click Activate.

Using X-GPS Monitor app

• Open the X-GPS Monitor app on your mobile device.

• Select Add object from the menu.

• Choose the Mobile App option.

• Enter the phone number and/or email address of your employee where to send them an invitation.

• Tap Add and invite.

The new device appears in Navixy with Just registered status waiting for the employee to complete the activation.

The employee receives an invitation via text (SMS) or email depending on setup. The invitation includes:

• A 12-digit personal identifier

• A link to download the X-GPS Tracker app

Step 2: Accept the invitation and configure the app

After the invitation is sent, employees should proceed on their end by downloading the app and configure it.
