Harsh Driving Alerts: Because Your Car Hates Whiplash Too
We get it—sometimes you need to hit the gas or slam the brakes. But if it becomes a habit, your car (and your passengers) might have something to say about it. That’s where ShadowGPS steps in with Harsh Driving Alerts—your digital driving coach who doesn't nag, just notifies.
This feature is available for ShadowAuto devices and includes two specific alerts:
Rapid Acceleration
Hard Braking
Each comes with its own toggle, so you can turn them on or off based on what you want to monitor.
How It Works:
Head to the Alert Configuration screen.
Choose your ShadowAuto device.
Toggle ON Rapid Acceleration and/or Hard Braking.
Sit back. Your ShadowAuto device will now keep an ear out for those aggressive gas-pedal punches or sudden stops.
What Happens Next:
These events are recorded during your trip.
At the end of the trip, they show up neatly in your Trip Summary—so you’ll know exactly when and where the “Whoa there!” moments happened.
Why Use It?
Great for improving your driving habits.
Essential for parents of teen drivers or fleet managers monitoring vehicle use.
Can even help you reduce wear and tear and keep fuel costs in check.
No judgment here—we’ve all done a little fast-and-curious driving now and then. But with ShadowGPS, at least you’ll know when it happens (and how often).
