## Description

The LiveView GPS Tracking Utility is a dedicated Android app that works seamlessly with Live View GPS Live Trac devices. Designed to provide real-time tracking, this utility allows users to monitor their GPS devices live on Google Maps right from their mobile phones.

Users can view device speed, heading, direction of travel, and current location. For battery-powered devices like the PT-10 GPS tracker, battery life is displayed, while vehicles with hardwired devices show ignition status. An active Live Trac subscription and compatible Live View GPS device (such as PT-10, PT-10 Pro, G5, G5 Pro, RTV5, RTV20, etc.) are required to utilize the app effectively.
