Take your trip
with you wherever you go.
Access all your
trip information on your Smartphone
or other Mobile Device.
The Mobile Trip Profile has
been designed specifically for mobile
device display. This is not a Smartphone
app, but rather Mobile Web Pages designed
to display all your trip information
in an app style. Quickly and easily navigate through
all your trip locations, activities
and other information.
Depending on the information you
have entered, clickable icons display allowing you to access
photos, external websites and trip details. Other icons are integrated with Google to provide GPS
Navigation, Location Maps, Photos, Weather and other information.
 The Mobile Trip Profile
is a subscription service.
Please review the details of
the service plan on our
Mobile Subscriptions
page. |

There is
a lot of concern with apps
and
web
pages collecting data on your
phone and accessing personal
information
such
as
your
contacts and other data. You never know what an app is
actually doing behind the
scenes and what
information is secretly
being collected.
We want to assure you that our mobile pages do not secretly collect any of your personal data when
utilizing
the Mobile Trip Profile.
The mobile pages are like any
other web page you would
access on your computer,
with
the
exception
that they
have been specifically formatted
for
mobile
device display.
By utilizing this
technology, you will always
have the latest updates and
never need to reinstall or
download software updates. |

Trip Sharing & Tracking
Trip
Sharing allows you to share your trips with other members as well as set the information they are able to view. For added security, on your 'My Trips' page you may enable/disable mobile access at any time and set an optional password that must be entered to display the profile.
Shared trips can be accessed using the
Trip
Tracker on the website to display the public trip view. The Mobile Trip Profile will list your trips along with trips you are tracking. Trip Sharing can be used to share your trip with others traveling with you as well as people who are not traveling who may want to follow along with you. You will need
to know the eTripCafe
login Id (Email) to add a
trip to another member's Trip Tracker.

No wireless service / Limited wireless service / Downloading your trip and Offline Maps |
As you
travel,
you may
be in
locations
where
wireless
service
is
limited
or does not exist. This of course
will
affect
loading
web
pages and
running
apps
that
require
an
internet
connection, but there are several things you can do ahead of time to help with this.
To help mitigate the situation, from the
Mobile
Trip
Profile
-
Expanded
view,
download
your
entire
trip
to
your
Smartphone
prior
to
your
departure. This will allow you to
access
your entire trip as a reference, even when there is no mobile service.
If you will be using GPS
Navigation,
download
Offline
Maps
of
the
location so your phone will utilize them when there is
mobile
service.
Activate an international High Speed Data Plan. (Very Important) This is something you should consider when traveling abroad. It will provide a much faster data download experience, especially if you are in an area with limited wireless service. |
