*Now, return to the Home Screen, and wait until the Latitude, Longitude, and Locality displays.

*Then click on the Red, Yellow, and Green beacons! You should receive successive status text messages, with your GPS location attached.

*In an actual situation, you should always follow -up the beacon discharges by sending additional information and details in the text message box.
