Below are the device requirements for Mentor to function properly:
- Android 6.0 or above or iOS 12 or above are required. A smartphone manufactured in the past 2 years should be Mentor-compatible, although not all devices have the broadest range of sensors. The minimum hardware required is GPS, gyro sensor and an accelerometer.
Additionally, the settings below are required for Mentor to detect trip start/stop effectively:
- iOS:
- “Location Services” must be turned on in Settings —> Privacy —> Location Services.
- “Motion & Fitness” must be on and Location must be set to “Always” in Settings—> Mentor.
- Android:
- “Location” must be turned on in Settings.
- “Battery Saver Mode” must be disabled.
For best results:
A power adapter and cradle are highly recommended for your phone.
