(Android) Location
You can use BizGo! Air to retrieve the location of managed Android devices.
To use this feature, you must install the BizGo! Air app.
The BizGo! Air app is a limited-distribution app, and EMM registration is required.
Location accuracy * Positioning results from wireless networks may vary in accuracy.
- The location retrieval feature may not be able to determine the location in places with poor visibility, such as inside tunnels.
- The accuracy of the location retrieval feature varies depending on the GPS function of the device.
- The settings may differ depending on the device model.
If location settings are turned off on a device (location cannot be retrieved), the administrator can ask the device user to turn them on.
Using the location feature increases the power consumption of the device.
