Smart Arrival uses your device’s location services (GPS) together with mapped campground data within the app.
The app uses geo-fencing technology (a virtual perimeter) around supported locations. When you enter a mapped area and remain there for a short period of time, Smart Arrival may recognise that you have arrived and present relevant information, services and community activity associated with that location. To help reduce false triggers, the system may also consider factors such as movement speed and dwell time rather than simply detecting that you have passed through an area.
Smart Arrival works best when your device has active location permissions together with internet or mobile connectivity. In regional and remote areas where coverage may be limited, some features, updates or real-time information may be delayed or unavailable until connectivity is restored.
For Smart Arrival to function correctly, you will need to allow location access on your device, including background location permissions where supported. The feature is designed to detect arrival events rather than continuously track your movements.
