GPS Tracking App for Android and iOS - Always Keep an Eye on Your Vehicles
The GPS tracking app from Jumbo Ortung is included free of charge in every GPS package and is available for both Android and iOS. It provides full access to all tracking functions – live location, route history, alerts and more – directly from your smartphone, at any time and from anywhere.
What Can the Tracking App Do?
The app connects to your personal online portal and displays all your GPS-tracked vehicles in real time on a map. The current location is shown including address and vehicle status (engine on/off) – updated every 2 seconds.
Core Features of the App:
- Live tracking – current location of all vehicles with address display and direction of travel
- Route tracking – complete journey routes from the past fully traceable
- Route animation (auto-play) – play back recorded routes as an animation, with speed display and stop times
- Geofencing – alert via app push notification, SMS or email when leaving defined zones
- Movement notifications – instant notification of unexpected vehicle movements
- Logbook – overview of all journeys with date, duration and distance
- Daily reports – quick analysis of the day's journeys per vehicle
Route Animation – Replay Journeys Step by Step
One of the most useful features of the app is the route animation. Here is how it works:
- Select a vehicle from the list
- Choose the desired date in the calendar
- Route animation starts automatically
The recorded route is played back as an animation on the map. You can see the driven route, the speed at each point and all stops – marked in red on the map, with the duration of each stop and the time of departure. The zoom level can be adjusted at any time for a more detailed view.
Areas of Application
Vehicle and Fleet Monitoring
For businesses with multiple vehicles, the app provides a central overview of the entire fleet. Dispatchers can see at a glance where every vehicle is and coordinate routes directly from their smartphone. Equally suitable for construction machinery and trucks.
Family and Personal Tracking
The app also enables location sharing within the family – for example when children or elderly family members are out and about. Geofencing zones can be set up to trigger an alert, allowing immediate response in an emergency.
Business Use
For freelancers and companies, working hours, project times and journey routes can be documented seamlessly. The app is an excellent mobile logbook and provides evidence of trips for clients or the tax authorities.
Data Protection and Legal Notes
GPS tracking of persons or third-party vehicles is subject to data protection regulations. Make sure you have obtained the consent of the individuals concerned before tracking their location. Data privacy and ethical handling of location data must be considered in every use case.
Conclusion: The GPS Tracking App – Always with You, Always Informed
The Jumbo Ortung tracking app for Android and iOS is the practical companion to the online portal – free of charge, clearly laid out and with full functionality. Whether fleet management, theft protection or journey documentation: with the app, your vehicles are always in your pocket.
