Tracking explanation

How Skynamo Collects Location Data

Skynamo uses several methods to determine your location:

1. GPS

This is the most accurate method. When available, GPS provides precise location data.

2. Cell Tower Triangulation

If GPS is unavailable due to poor reception (e.g., indoors), Skynamo uses signals from the three closest cell towers to estimate your location. This can result in a “crow’s nest” cluster effect, especially inside buildings.

3. Wi-Fi Hotspots

Similar to cell tower triangulation, Wi-Fi signals help estimate your location when GPS is weak or unavailable.

Limitations of Location Accuracy

Due to Skynamo’s reliance on your device’s Location Services and the wide variety of hardware and software configurations, GPS tracks should be viewed as helpful indicators of movement, not definitive proof.

Additionally, power outages or loss of internet connectivity can significantly affect location accuracy, as a stable connection is required for real-time tracking.

Mileage Tracking with Odometer Readings

To give users more control and improve accuracy, Skynamo includes odometer readings. This feature allows users to manually record their mileage in kilometres or miles, ensuring reliable tracking even when location services are disrupted.

Respecting Your Privacy

Skynamo values your privacy. We only access location data necessary for app functionality and do so using secure, publicly available APIs. No personal tracking is performed beyond what is required to support your workflow.
