Why Blind Zone Re-upload Matters in GPS Tracking
Have you ever wondered what happens when your GPS tracker goes through an area with no signal—like underground parking, tunnels, or remote mountains?
Most GPS devices rely on cellular networks to send real-time location updates. But in certain "blind zones" with weak or no signal, the tracker may temporarily lose connection to the server.
That’s where Blind Zone Re-upload comes in.
✅ What Is Blind Zone Re-upload?
It’s a smart feature that stores unsent GPS data locally in the device whenever there’s no network signal. Once the signal is restored, the tracker automatically uploads all the stored data to the platform — including time, location, and movement.
The “Reissue” column in our GPS platform "iTracksafeX" report indicates data that was stored and then re-uploaded from the device when it regained signal. This is part of the Blind Zone Re-upload function, which ensures no tracking data is lost during signal outages.
🎯 Why It’s Important:
- No data gaps in your tracking history
- More accurate reports of routes and mileage
- Essential for logistics, security, and fleet management
🚛 Use Case:
A delivery truck goes through a tunnel and loses signal for 10 minutes. With blind zone re-upload, every second of that trip is still recorded and uploaded later. Without it? You’d have a blank spot in your records.
🔐 Bonus:
This feature also reduces data loss caused by temporary SIM/network issues.
If you’re comparing GPS trackers, make sure they support this function — especially for critical operations!
