Impact Detection: Because Accidents Don’t Always Come With a Heads-Up

Let’s face it—no one plans to be in a collision. But in those rare (and unwanted) moments, Impact Detection from ShadowGPS makes sure someone knows immediately, even if you can’t make the call yourself.

This alert is available for ShadowAuto devices and is designed to notify a trusted contact if an impact is detected while driving.

Here’s How It Works:

  1. Head to the Alert Configuration section in your app.

  2. Select your ShadowAuto device.

  3. Toggle ON the Impact Detection alert.

  4. Add the name and mobile number of the person you'd want notified in case of an emergency.

  5. Hit save. That’s it.

Now, if your ShadowAuto device detects a significant impact, an SMS alert will automatically be sent to your chosen contact—letting them know that something’s happened and it might be time to check in.

Why It Matters:

  • Acts as a silent safety net in case you're unable to call for help.

  • Gives peace of mind to family, friends, or fleet managers.

  • It’s like having an emergency contact on speed dial—only fully automated.

Whether it’s a minor bump or something more serious, ShadowGPS has your back. You handle the road—we’ll handle the alert.
