We’ve been out speaking to customers and we’ve listened to feedback about how we can keep improving our Guardly mobile clients.

Location tracking technologies have come a long way in the last couple decades, but most mobile phones lack GPS sensors that are accurate all the time. Depending on your location, there may be buildings or other objects interfering with your phone’s direct line-of-sight to the GPS satellite network, and this can affect the accuracy reading of your exact location.

Today, Guardly announces Location Confirm for iOS devices. Location Confirm will detect the accuracy of your GPS readings and prompt you to refine your location on a map if necessary. Refining your location can be done with a simple drag-and-drop gesture. This will reinforce to your responder group that you are indeed where your mobile device says you are.

With this update to our location tracking and reporting technology, we hope to further decrease the amount of time it takes for first and secondary responders to reach our customers if and when they use Guardly to broadcast a request for help or assistance.

In our most recent update, Guardly also brings supports for iOS5 devices. Download it here.
