# Activate X-GPS tracker app
Activate the X-GPS Tracker app to turn a smartphone into a GPS tracker. Send an invitation to the employee and configure the app on their device.
## What is X-GPS tracker app?
The [X-GPS Tracker app](https://x-gps.app) transforms a smartphone or tablet into a GPS device, providing real-time tracking for field staff such as drivers, couriers, service technicians, construction workers, sales representatives, and more. Using a combination of satellite navigation signals (GPS), GSM, and Wi-Fi networks, the app accurately determines the device owner’s location while maintaining low energy consumption depending on settings.
Additionally, the app lets field employees report their location, status, and task completion in real time. Users can share their location, upload photos, and fill out forms, so companies can track workforce progress and manage field tasks.
Activating the X-GPS Tracker app on the Navixy platform involves two general steps: [inviting an employee](#step-1-send-an-invitation-to-an-employee) and [configuring the application on the employee’s side](#step-2-accept-the-invitation-and-configure-the-app).
## Step 1: Send an invitation to an employee
Invite an employee to install the X-GPS Tracker App first. You can do that from the Navixy Web Interface or X-GPS Monitor App.
{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Using Navixy web interface" %}
* Log in to your Navixy user account.
* In the left menu, click **Device activation.**
* Find and select the **X-GPS Tracker** option.
* Create a label for the device (e.g., "Driver John Smith") and, optionally, add it to a [group](/docs/user/guide/devices-and-settings.md).
* Enter the phone number and/or email address of your employee where to send them an invitation.
* Go to the next step and click **Activate**.
{% endtab %}
{% tab title="Using X-GPS Monitor app" %}
* Open the X-GPS Monitor app on your mobile device.
* Select **Add object** from the menu.
* Choose the **Mobile App** option.
* Enter the phone number and/or email address of your employee where to send them an invitation.
* Tap **Add and invite**.
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
{% columns %}
{% column %}
The new device appears in Navixy with **Just registered** status waiting for the employee to complete the activation.
The employee receives an invitation via text (SMS) or email depending on setup. The invitation includes:
* A 12-digit personal identifier
* A link to download the X-GPS Tracker app
{% endcolumn %}
{% column %}
{% endcolumn %}
{% endcolumns %}
## Step 2: Accept the invitation and configure the app
After the invitation is sent, employees should proceed on their end by downloading the app and configure it.
{% stepper %}
{% step %}
### Download and install the app
Download and install the app on their mobile device from the related store:
* [App Store (iOS)](https://apps.apple.com/app/x-gps-tracker/id1612047534)
* [Google Play Store (Android)](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.navixy.xgps.tracker)
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Configure the app
Upon launching the app, the employee needs to enter the 12-digit identifier from the invitation to complete the setup. After that, just a few more steps to finish the configuration are needed:
1. Start the tracking function, to do it:
1. Go to :gear: → General
2. Toggle on Tracker On/Off
2. Ensure that the app has the necessary permissions to access your device’s location
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
## Help and support
If you encounter any issues, consult with your [service provider](/docs/user/guide/quick-start/about-service-providers.md).
{% hint style="info" %}
If your employee has issues, have them try hitting the **Apply Settings** option from the email.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://navixy.com/docs/user/guide/quick-start/activate-x-gps-tracker-app.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
