How To Find the Current Location of Your Zoombak

• After a successful request is received, the Zoombak network will perform an on-demand location request for your Zoombak device and send a text message back to you with the current location information. Once you send your correct PIN and DEVICE NAME, it may take up to one minute for location information to be sent back to you.
• If current location information is not available for your Zoombak device, you will receive the following message: "We are unable to process your location request at this time, please try again later."
