Miscellaneous

The Geo service saves the data from the vehicle, starting from the last point at which the service was activated. If the service is deactivated in the meantime, the previously stored data will be retained for up to 25 months - new data in the course of the Geo service will not be generated and saved. Data will be saved again after Geo is activated again.
