Performing a Locate
Once your Wherifone account has been activated and is part of
Wherify’s Global GPS location system, you may perform locates
online or by calling the phone number provided by your location
service provider.
Note on Performing your First Locate
We recommend performing your first locate with the device
outside and exposed to as much open sky as possible. This is
also suggested in cases when you have turned off your phone
and have traveled more than 300 miles (500 km) away from
your original destination when the Wherifone was last used.
How to Perform a Locate Via the Internet
1. Log onto the web site provided by your location service provider.
2. Enter your Subscriber ID and PIN. For further details follow
instructions provided by your location service provider.
3. Click the Locate button on your location service provider website.
You have now initiated a location request to your Wherifone.
Within a short period of time you will be able to view the location
of your Wherifone on a street map and an aerial map.
How to Perform a Locate Directly from the Wherifone
Say you want the Wherifone-carrying user to initiate a locate
on their end by pressing a button on the device. Logon to the
location-based service site. Program the desired button to
perform this function through the “Set Button for Locate” menu
option. Now the a locate can be performed directly from the
Wherifone, and you can view the location results online.
