22.3.5. Location
View the device's current location on Google Maps. The location is refreshed every
5 seconds, so you can track it if it is on the move.
The accuracy of the location depends on how Bitdefender is able to determine it:
● If the GPS is enabled on the device, its location can be pinpointed to within a
couple of meters as long it is in the range of GPS satellites (i.e. not inside a
building).
● If the device is indoors, its location can be determined to within tens of meters if
Wi-Fi is enabled and there are wireless networks available in its range.
● Otherwise, the location will be determined using only information from the mobile
network, which can offer an accuracy no better than several hundred meters.
Note
For the Remote geolocation to be accurate, make sure you have enabled the GPS,
the Wi-Fi or the mobile network connection on the mobile device.
