Helping you to work with IT at Imperial College
Due to the variation in signal strength and distance between routers/base stations, it is difficult to provide a consistent value for the accuracy of the device position. Tests indicate that location information may be up to 30 metres out on campus.
The status lights next to a friend’s name in the ‘View my Friends’ list indicate how recent their location data is:
Your friends must first share their location information, then search for and add you as a friend.
Please note: If your friend has not chosen to share their location information, they will not appear in the list.
No. The Friend Finder works by mutual consent. You must both choose to share your location information with each other.
Currently the Friend Finder is only available in the iOS and web versions of Imperial Mobile.
