Anyone who has a family and commutes long distances has most likely encountered the problem where family calls them, and they can't pick up because they're driving. The issue with this lies in how it leaves your family members wondering about your whereabouts. Through the myChevrolet Updates Location feature, you don't have to worry about this any longer. Instead of having to pull out your phone and text a friend or family member, the app will send automated text message alerts, which is much safer.
How It Works: Worry Less
Through this app, your friends and family will receive a text message alert as soon as you have gotten into your car and left the vicinity. Another one of the good things comes from the fact that you can find your car much easier than ever before. In the past, if you forgot where you parked your car, you'd have to find it by checking every lane. You still may not find it, so you'd spend a lot of time walking around. With the myChevrolet Updates Location feature, everything has been simplified and made easier.
Improvement Upon the Chevy Family Link Service
In the past, Chevy had another technology that worked similar known as the Family Link Service. The problem was that you needed an internet connection for it to work. If you don't have an internet connection, you basically would have it work. Vehicle Locate works in such a way that you can check on loved ones no matter what.
Creating a Boundary Area
One of the cool things about the Vehicle Locate feature is that you can create a boundary area using this technology. You can create a 20-mile radius boundary in any direction. You can send alerts for up to 10 people. Understandably, not everyone will want to receive text message alerts like this. For that reason, Chevy gives you the option to opt-in for these text messages.
Why Chevy offers the myChevrolet Location Vehicle Feature
The automakers at Chevrolet offer the Location Vehicle feature because of how it adds to the convenience for drivers and families. You can rest easy knowing that your loved one is okay even if they can't respond. Chevy helps to offer drivers on the road peace of mind. You have a variety of different circumstances where it would make sense.
Parents with Teens
Once your child comes of age to start driving, you worry a lot about them. You wait around for them to show up at home. Important to note, this feature will also work well with the accessories like the dash cam. Especially if you have a tendency of worrying about your teenager, this can be helpful.
