Use the map when an alert needs more context
A family map is most useful when it answers a specific question. Guardian lets trusted adults check the latest available shared location after an unexpected delay, an alert or a change in plans.
Battery and last-update details help parents judge how current the map information is. The map complements Home and School notifications rather than demanding constant attention.
Guardian is not an emergency service. Location and notifications can be affected by GPS, connectivity, permissions, battery settings and operating-system restrictions.
