The GPS device onboard Onnie is a Garmin inReach. The unit's access to satellites makes it possible to update location to send simple SMS messages any time from anywhere on earth. It uses a phone number hosted with Twilio.
01Every 15 minutes, Zapier checks the Twilio phone number for new messages. When it finds a new SMS message, Zapier updates this site's back end that provides the data you see marked in the map.
02New texts trigger Zapier to update this site's database with the new location information. Every time you refresh this page, it updates the map with the current info.
