YOKOHAMA (Tom Bluewater) – Although I hate the winter season, this January isn’t so bad. Today, the highest temperature was 16°C (about 60°F) in the Yokohama area. Unfortunately, it will be colder tomorrow, according to the weather forecast.
Anyway, I’m ready to introduce the first software product of this year. It’s a desktop application that works with the last iOS software release. It’s called Ranger Station 2.
Ranger Station 2 is a virtual command center designed for a group administrator who wants to keep track of the current locations of their group members on the map. At the end of the last year, we released an iOS app for iPhone and iPad users. Ranger Station 2 directly works with this app, HereRanger 2. Use HereRanger 2 to send invitations so that you can keep track of your members with a larger window on your Mac. Whenever someone you follow pushes their current location with a short message, you will receive a remote notification to your Mac through this application.
The following is how Ranger Station 2 works together with HereRanger 2.
- The team member uses HereRanger 2 to create an invitation with a 6-digit verification number and a deep link.
- The team member emails the invitation to the Ranger Station 2 administrator.
- The Ranger Station 2 administrator click on the deep link. The Ranger Station 2 administrator enters the PIN number.
- Ranger Station 2 shows team member’s current location on the map.
- The team member uses HereRanger 2 to pushes his or her current location with a short message.
- The Mac computer will receive a location change notification update.
