Track a device in the app

This guide explains how to track a device in the Stella Care app and which features you can use to locate it.


How to track a device

  1. Go to Devices in the app, or open a resident and select the device from their list.

  2. Tap the Find GPS button to open the tracking screen.


On the tracking screen, you can see:

  • Device name

  • Device status

  • Most recently updated position

  • A map showing the device’s location


You can also:

  • Tap Call device to call the device directly

  • Tap Make noise to play a loud sound on the device for 20 seconds (helps you locate it physically)

Map features during tracking

On the map, you can:

  • Zoom in and out using two fingers

  • Tap the arrow icon in the top left corner to get directions to the device

  • Tap the location icon in the top right corner to view your own position

  • Switch between standard map view and satellite view using the map icon in the bottom right corner


Tips

  • Use Make sound if you're close to the location but can’t find the device itself.

  • Use route guidance if you are out in the field and need to reach the resident quickly.

  • If the position does not appear updated, it may be due to low battery or lack of network connection.
