FAQ

Q: Can I set the vessel position on the mobile app?

A: No, InnoApp currently only allows you to set the location, not a specific position (what you would most likely use to track individual barrels and/or racks).  You can set a vessel position in the main desktop browser interface via the individual vessel's details page, or the bulk Manage Vessels menu. Find out how here.

Q: Can I update locations offline?

A: Yes! InnoApp stores information offline until you are back in range of a signal. Then location data will be uploaded to the cloud, and throughout your InnoVint apps.
