Accuracy of the definition of geographic location with "Locator" from megaphone
"Locator" Megaphone How to check?
Many factors affect the quality: the quality of cellular coverage, features of the network of megaphone in certain territories, network stations, the signal level of the sought mobile, the charge of its battery, etc.
Depending on the affecting factors, the accuracy may vary from 100 meters to a semi-kilometer within the city. Outside urban areas, permissible deviation of about 1 km, which is not excluded on the distant borders of cities and away from settlements. The weaker network signal, the greater the error.
When the desired subscriber is in a small village, a village in the outback, for example, a megaphone may limit the fact that only the name of the settlement, without instructions. Similarly, the map displays only the locality.
It is impossible to determine the location in such cases:
- The desired phone is turned off or discharged
- The desired mobile phone outside the Megaphone network zone
- In the subscriber service package, which wishes to find out the location, does not include the "SMS-messages" option
