Is GPS required in order for SecureIT to function?

No. Although GPS is recommended it is not required in order for all the SecurityCoverage mobile apps to function properly. One advantage of enabling GPS is that it can potentially provide a greater level of accuracy when using the SecureIT anti-theft feature for locating a lost or stolen phone. If GPS is enabled it may have an impact on the devices battery life depending on the manufacturer’s specific implementation of the GPS feature. SecureIT, FileHopper, and Password Genie will continue to function normally if you choose to disable or leave GPS off.
