The Home Screen
Using the Meili Earth App: The Home Screen
The Home Screen shows you the status, and location, of all your Meili Trackers. For each Meili you can see its location, its battery status and the date and time it last sent a location update.
Dragging down on the Home Screen will update all your Meilis, usefull if your phone doesn't have a great mobile signal.
At the bottom of the screen you can see Menu Options to View the Map, View the Sharing Centre, See Notifications, and Access your Account Menu.
If you have a lot of trackers you can use the search tool which can be found under the magnifying glass and you can select the groups button to see tracks grouped together.

Configuring your Meili in the Meili Earth App
How to Configure Your Meili GPS Tracker
From the Home Screen click the gear icon at the top of each tracker
From here you can choose the Tracker Update Frequency.
Power Save sets the location update at once an hour; Balanced sets it to every 3 minutes and More Accurate sets it to every 60 seconds.
Be aware that the higher the location update frequency, the lower the battery life.
Balanced will give you approximately 400 hours / 10-14 days of battery life with normal use.
So unless you need really fast updates, for example when you're skiing, its best to leave the Meili GPS Trackers in Balanced mode.
Creating Groups
Using the Meili Earth App to Group Meili GPS Trackers
If you have more than one Meili GPS Trackers you may want to group them together to make them easier to identify and manage.
For example you may want to Group some of your Trackers into a group called "2027 Ski Trip", or for a Duke of Edinburgh Award or Scouts Expedition you may have groups called "Red Group", "Blue Group" etc for identification purposes.
You can access Groups via the Groups button in the Home Screen.
Choose a colour and a name and optionally choose the activity of the group. Click 'Add Trackers to add trackers to the group.
One you are back in the Home Screen you can choose to view just one group rather than all trackers.

The map has two 'modes':
When displaying just one Meili GPS Tracker the bar at the bottom of the map shows the Tracks Navigator arrows and the Zoom level of the map.
When viewing multiple Meili GPS Trackers the bar below the map changes to show the OS (Ordnance Survey) grid reference when in the UK. The default is Lat/Long but you can swipe to show OSGB.
