Zoleo users, help

Question for Zoleo users in the backcountry, does your cell phone have to always be on in order to be able to do location share with wife at home? This eats up my phone battery in a one day test.
I just bought one but are having second thoughts about it?

I really like mine, however don’t think I’ve tested it in that way. I think you can preset messages/ location to send without having your phone on. I would send them an email, their CS seems to be pretty responsive and good to work with

I've never had my phone fully off with it, just airplane mode so no bluetooth connection to the zoleo but it worked for the location share. My wife used the zoleo app as well and it worked great this year.

Thanks for the replies, I will try again this week off.

Question #2? Can she use/see Location/share+ on a PC?

If you have it set up in your account to location share on check-ins, you can hit the check mark button and it will share your location without your phone needing to be connected.

She can see it on a PC if you have it set up in your account to send to her email.

I have my account setup so that when I hit the check mark button, it sends a check in message and my exact location to my wife's phone and email.

Al the above has to be set up in your online zoleo account, not in the zoleo app on your phone.
