Max speed
Set a speed alert to receive a notification whenever your vehicle exceeds the specified speed.
The alert uses the posted speed limit for each road, and a notification is sent at the end of the trip if the vehicle exceeds the selected speed limit threshold.
Rapid acceleration
Receive an alert when your vehicle rapidly accelerates excessively, moderately, or lightly.
Hard braking

Idle duration
Get an alert at the end of a trip if total idle time exceeds your set limit.
This alert appears at the end of a trip, after the vehicle is turned off. You can set the idling threshold from 0 to 180 minutes for any trip.
Impact detection
The device uses internal sensors and software to detect crashes by monitoring impacts and sudden changes in vehicle speed. When a crash is detected, Myloc8 sends a notification and an SMS to your designated contacts.
Adjustable sensitivity levels help the system focus on real events. Minor incidents, such as soft door dings in parking lots, are often ignored due to low force, while significant impacts with noticeable force and vibration are more likely to be detected, ensuring an effective response in critical situations.
Note: Crash detection and notifications may not be available in certain situations, such as if the OBD device is damaged, dislodged, or if cellular or other signals are weak or unavailable. If the OBD device loses wireless service, no data will be transmitted. Please see the Terms of Service for more details. By enabling this feature, you agree to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
Curfew
Curfew alerts help you monitor vehicle usage by notifying you whenever the vehicle is driven during the scheduled days and times you define.
Diagnostic trouble code
Enable this notification to receive an alert when your vehicle reports a diagnostic trouble code through the OBD device.
