Locate Multiple Devices

Mobile > Locate Multiple Devices

The Locate Multiple Devices page displays the current location of one or more selected devices on a map. Each numbered marker on the map references a numbered list on the right side of the map. The numbered list identifies the name of each device, its phone number, and when each device last identified its location. The display of data is filtered by a specified start date and time.

Note: If you don't see a location marker for a device you're tracking, try resetting the filter to display an earlier date range.

  • Start Tracking - Starts location tracking of the device. Once started, you can view the tracking of the device on a map using Track a Single Device.
  • Stop Tracking - Stops location tracking of the device.
