What is ZOLEO Track?
ZOLEO Track is a web app that works as a simple and effective solution to monitor the whereabouts of ZOLEO device users.
With ZOLEO Track, account owners gain the ability to monitor all of their ZOLEO device users while they are on or off-grid on a single map. Account owners can easily track their devices through identifiable points on a map. These track points are generated when a ZOLEO user sends a Check-in message, enables a Location Share+ session, or triggers an SOS alert.
ZOLEO Track provides ZOLEO users with increased safety and location awareness by providing a centralized view of all devices for account owners.
With ZOLEO Track, as an account owner, you can:
- View the last reported location of all selected devices on your MyZOLEO account.
- Review date and time stamps for all location reports and export location data for offline analysis.
- Assign unique names to different devices.
- Filter the map and search devices by IMEI or assigned name.
- Generate and export location reports for one or more device users in a variety of formats.
How does ZOLEO Track work?
Account owners can effortlessly track the most recent reported location of their ZOLEO device(s), with access to up to the last 100 track points per device.
Each of your devices will be represented by a point on the map, indicating its last reported location. The track point provides key details, including the device's assigned name or IMEI, location coordinates, along with the date and time stamp of the most recent reported location.
Location can be updated in real-time through the use of: Check-ins, SOS, and the add-on feature Location Share+ (click here to open article about Location Share+).

How do I generate location reports?
Location reports (or track points) can be generated in three different ways.
- Manually sending Check-In messages
- Starting a Location Share+ session to automatically send location updates
-
When an SOS alert is activated
Manually sending Check-In messages
Unlimited check-in messages are included with every ZOLEO monthly plan. When a user sends a Check-In message, they are also reporting their current location, which appears ZOLEO Track as a track point.
To learn more about sending Check-In messages, click here.
Location reports sent using Check-In messages will be displayed on the map using the color green.
Starting a Location Share+ session to automatically send location updates.
Location Share+ (LS+) is an add-on feature that sends automatic updates at a select interval with your location showing up as a breadcrumb trail on a map. The interval can be every 6 minutes to 4 hours.
When a Location Share+ session is started, location updates are automatically sent and appear in ZOLEO Track and can be viewed on the map.
Location reports sent using Location Share+ will be displayed on the map in the color blue.
When an SOS alert is activated
Your ZOLEO monthly plans include access to SOS with 24/7 monitoring from our emergency response provider. During an active SOS session, the ZOLEO device will attempt to report your location every 6 minutes.
These will also be seen in ZOLEO Track, and you will be able to view both active and cancelled SOS alerts.
Location reports sent using SOS alerts will be displayed on the map in the color red.
Note: Please make sure you are only activating an SOS alert in the case of a real emergency.
