messages. This panel allows you enter and manage the default list of custom

tracker's Edit panel.
Tracker Settings
From the buddy and tracker list choose Options > Settings, to see the settings
for trackers. They include:
Update frequency - how often watch or send messages will be sent. Can be
set to a decimal value of minutes.
My beacon PIN - the PIN number you use to protect your location when using
the ViewRanger buddy beacon.
My phone number - the phone number of your phone handset on which the
software is running.
Incoming / Outgoing tracker SMS messages - these two settings control
whether messages are saved in your in or out box. You can choose to have all
the SMS messages saved; to have just the last message saved (per tracker); or
to have none saved.
Tracker position sound / colour - set the sound made when a position report
is received. The default 'alert panel' is a beep and on screen note. The colour
controls the box drawn around the tracker icon on the map. Choose white to
have no box shown.
