Navizon includes
an amazing new feature that will allow you to find location of your phone at any time by simply sending your phone an sms (text) message.
-
All you have to
do is set a password in Navizon, and when a text message containing
that password is received by your phone, Navizon will recognize it,
instantly find its’ location and respond with the coordinates.
-
As always with Navizon, no GPS lock is necessary to find a location, so this
feature can even work indoors. This is a great tool to help locate a
lost or stolen phone.

To set up Mobfindr, to locate your phone when you
send it a message with your passphrase, you first need to follow a
few simple steps:
|
|



-
Set "Enabled" to "ON"
-
Enter your passphrase in the box next to "Keyword"
(this code is what you will send to your phone in order for
it to respond with your location, so make sure and remember
it, and only give it to someone you want to be able to
locate you.
-
Once you have set a passphrase, and enabled
Mobifindr, you can scroll to the top and press "Locate me
now", to continue using Navizon, or you can press the
"Home"
button to return to the home screen.
-
The Mobfindr feature will in the
background, and will not adversely affect battery life, because
it only turns on when it receives a text message with your
passphrase.
We hope you enjoy this great feature, and
continue to use all of Navizon's great
Features.

Once you have set a passphrase and made sure
the feature is enabled, all you need to do is send the device
