Geotracked. Unless you think someone would move them into a row, without paying to ride them, into the sidewalk with the sole purpose of blocking the sidewalk. Of course, I'm fine with a call to the companies by the city simply telling them to straighten out their placement person with some threat that would never happen just to light the smallest of fires. Just a phone call that someone with some power is actually paying attention instead of watching the sunset from the roof.flyingember wrote: ↑Fri Sep 10, 2021 9:03 pmHow do you prove they parked in the row?

Geotracking works to a confidence level. 16-33 feet accuracy means they could be moved several car lengths and no one would ever be able to prove it didn’t get moved. Garmin says 49 foot accuracy 95% of the time so it could be worse than that.beautyfromashes wrote: ↑Sat Sep 11, 2021 1:02 amGeotracked.

The iPhone using WiFi is to within a few meters, so greater than the width of any sidewalk
In other words geo tracking tells nothing as to where someone left the scooter other than in a general sense that it’s halfway up a block.
