Even easier & more accurate auto-tracking with iBeacon
What sets the iBeacon apart from other tracking methods?
Unlike other apps that rely exclusively on your phone’s movement to log your driving, iBeacon only records trips driven in your own vehicle. This helps you avoid irrelevant entries in your logbook and saves phone battery.
How the iBeacon works
The iBeacon is a compact, low-energy Bluetooth device that automatically signals the Driversnote app to start and stop tracking your trips as you enter and exit your vehicle—no need to open the app.
Even easier & more accurate auto-tracking with iBeacon
Automatically record the trips you take in your vehicle and avoid tracking journeys where you are a passenger, on your bicycle or using public transport. You’ll also save time reviewing trips and use less phone battery.
Frequently asked questions
The Driversnote iBeacon is a small Bluetooth device that transmits a signal. When you place the iBeacon in your car, your phone picks up the signal every time you get into it and the app automatically begins to track your journey. When you exit the car by the end of your journey, the app finishes recording your trip.
An iBeacon will give you the most precise automatic tracking since it tells the app exactly when to track. Motion tracking is based on the motion detection of your phone. This can include trips with public transport, bicycle rides or a trip in a colleague's vehicle. You can avoid this by having an iBeacon in the vehicle you want to track. You will have fewer trips to review and will use less of your phone's battery.
Connect it to your Driversnote app by following the in-app instructions, and leave it in your car—it’s that easy! An iBeacon is about the size of a pack of gum, so it fits almost anywhere.
The iBeacon works with Android and Apple phones. However, with iPhones, we recommend using an iPhone 6S or newer.
