What speed limit should I set?

Something matched to how the vehicle is actually used. For a vehicle that mostly runs in the city, a lower figure is meaningful; for one that uses highways, set it high enough that you only hear about genuine over-speeding.

Will I get an alert for every second above the limit?

Alerts are raised when the limit is crossed, and recorded in the alerts list with the time and location so you can review them.

Which plans include over-speed alerts?

Over-speed alerts are included in every plan, including Basic. See the pricing page for the full comparison.

Feature

Over-speed alerts

Set a speed limit for your vehicle and get a message every time it is crossed, with where and when. Most useful when someone else is driving.

Included in Basic, Lite, Infinity+ plans.

What it does

Knowing how the vehicle is being driven

You cannot be in the passenger seat every time your vehicle goes out. A speed alert is the closest thing to it.

A limit you choose

Set the figure that makes sense for the vehicle and how it is used — a school bus and a highway truck are not the same.

Told at the time

The alert reaches your phone when it happens, not in a report you read at the end of the week.

With the location

Each alert says where it happened, so you can tell a highway stretch from a residential street.

How it works

1
You set the limit
Choose the speed in the app for that vehicle.
2
The device watches speed continuously
Speed comes from the GPS position updates, so it does not depend on the vehicle’s own speedometer.
3
Crossing it raises an alert
When the vehicle goes above the limit, an alert is generated with the time and place.
4
It lands on your phone
You see it immediately, and it stays in the alerts list so you can look back over it later.

Worth knowing

Speed is measured from GPS, which is usually very close to the vehicle’s speedometer but not identical to it. Treat it as an accurate indication rather than a legal instrument.
A limit set too low on a vehicle that regularly uses highways will alert constantly and quickly get ignored. Set something you actually want to hear about.
The alert tells you it happened. It does not slow the vehicle down.
