Know they are driving safely—Live Location, Speeds and Limits

Instead of texting or calling with updates about your drive time—or being distracted by incoming calls—OtoZen will automatically share your location, trip progress, and ETA. Does it sound like apps such as Apple's Find My, and Share ETA with Apple, Google, and Waze Apps do the same? Not really. Here's a comparison of the features.

Absolutely! OtoZen App is designed to work across both IOS and Android phones, so you can easily track and share location information with peace of mind. With real-time location updates, you can stay informed of your loved one's whereabouts, and know they are safe while driving.

The OtoZen app offers real-time location sharing and tracking for your family members. You can easily enable this feature for a family member, and their location will appear on the app's map. The app utilizes the GPS sensors on their phone to determine their precise location and updates it in real time. Additionally, you can set up location-based alerts, such as receiving notifications when a family member is nearby home, school, or work. For instance, you can be alerted when your child is 10 minutes away from school or just 6 minutes away from home. You can rest assured that the OtoZen app respects your family's privacy, and location information is only shared with members of your family group who have explicit permission to do so.

OtoZen's location sharing can reduce distracted driving by allowing you to monitor your family member's location while they're on the road. This means you don't have to constantly call or text to check in on them, reducing the risk of distracted driving. OtoZen provides real-time speed tracking, which can help identify when a family member is driving too fast. You can view when your family member exceeds a certain speed, allowing you to intervene and address the behavior. Additionally, the app's voice message feature allows you to send short messages to your family member that play through their car's speakers. This means they can receive important information or reminders without having to take their eyes off the road or their hands off the wheel. By reducing the need for distracted communication while driving and providing real-time feedback on driving behavior, OtoZen helps promote safer and more responsible driving habits.

One way to communicate safely with a teen driver or spouse while they are driving is by using the OtoZen app's voice message feature. This feature allows you to send short messages that are played through their car's speakers, allowing them to receive critical information or reminders without having to take their eyes off the road or their hands off the wheel. Another option is to use hands-free devices such as Bluetooth headsets or speakerphones. It's important to remember that distracted driving is a serious issue, and it's always best to avoid communication that requires too much attention or diverts focus away from the road.

OtoZen has a unique and effective way of notifying loved ones when family members are nearby. While many apps rely on geofencing to measure distance and send notifications, this method only sometimes provides accurate arrival times due to road conditions, speed limits, and real-time traffic. OtoZen solves this problem by factoring in real-time traffic to provide a more precise ETA. For example, you can set up a notification to receive an alert when your teen is 10 minutes away from school. OtoZen will consider the real-time traffic conditions to give you an accurate arrival time. Of course, OtoZen also has the geofencing method available for those who prefer it.

OtoZen is more than just a location tracking and sharing app for families. In addition to viewing your family members' live location, the app provides a wealth of helpful information that goes beyond what many other apps offer.

One of the standout features of OtoZen is the ability to view your family member's live speed and the speed limit of the road they're driving on. This provides an immediate sense of risky behavior in terms of high-speed driving and driving much above speed limits, even at lower speeds. For example, driving at 45 mph in a 25 mph zone can be pretty risky, and with OtoZen, you'll know if your family member is exceeding the speed limit.

OtoZen also provides your family member's live ETA to your chosen destination, factoring in live traffic conditions. This means you won't have to call or text to know when they're coming home or arriving at their destination. The app presents all of this information in a clean and user-friendly interface that makes it easy to navigate and understand.

In summary, OtoZen offers a suite of features that allow you to closely monitor your family members' driving behavior and ensure their safety on the road.

Absolutely! You can customize the location sharing and tracking settings for different family members in the OtoZen app. You have complete control over who you share location information with and can customize location-sharing settings for each family member individually or with a neighbor when carpooling kids. For instance, you can enable location sharing and tracking for your teen driver while disabling it for your spouse. This flexibility allows you to tailor the app to your family's specific needs and preferences, ensuring that everyone is comfortable with the level of location sharing and tracking.

If a family member has turned off location sharing or tracking on their device, you will not be able to view their location on the OtoZen app's map. However, the app will alert you if a family member's location sharing is disabled, they are out of cellular coverage, or their phone battery is about to die. It's crucial to understand that the OtoZen app values your family members' privacy, and they can disable location sharing at any time. If a family member has opted to disable location sharing and does not wish to re-enable it, you should respect their decision and look for alternative ways to ensure their safety.

When tracking a device's location, the OtoZen app collects data related to the device's location, including latitude, longitude, and accuracy. The app may also collect information on the device's battery level, signal strength, and speed of travel. However, the app does not collect personal information, such as the owner's name or contact details. We solely use the collected data to provide location-tracking services and improve the app's functionality. Unlike other location-sharing apps, OtoZen does not store the data externally and only shares it with authorized family members. The app respects user privacy and ensures that all data is securely stored and not shared with third-party entities.

OtoZen respects and values privacy. That’s why we’ve encrypted user data for safety and security and give privacy controls to every OtoZen user so they can decide what data is shared. Your location is only tracked while actively using OtoZen with all data stored on your phone so only you have access to important info.
