"Out and About NZ" is a mobile app service that provides location tracking. It is designed for use in areas where traditional cell/data coverage may be unavailable by leveraging Starlink SMS technology.
The app regularly sends your location when data is available, or when there is no data, periodically via SMS, even in areas without cellular or data coverage. You can also send update messages with your location to keep friends or family informed of your progress.
Location tracking is protected by a unique code that you can share with trusted individuals. You can reset this code at any time to maintain your privacy.
The service is designed to function in areas without traditional network coverage by using Starlink SMS. This ensures your updates and location information are still transmitted.
