Getting Started
Everything you need to know to create your account, set up your profile, and understand what Xopoz is all about.
What is Xopoz?
Xopoz is a privacy-first GPS team tracking app for Android. It lets you and your team share real-time locations securely, save points of interest, and coordinate in the field โ all without relying on Google Maps or exposing your data to third parties.
- Real-time GPS tracking with intelligent battery management
- Encrypted location sharing โ the server can never read your coordinates
- Points of Interest with folder organisation and team sharing
- Complete map freedom โ use any map tile server you prefer
- GDPR-compliant privacy controls โ you decide what is stored and shared
Creating Your Account
Registration is simple and respects your privacy โ only an email address is required.
- Open Xopoz and tap Create Account.
- Enter your email address. A valid email format is required because a verification email will be sent.
- Choose a password and complete registration.
- Check your inbox and follow the verification link.
- Log in with your email and password to access the app.
Staff / CRM Token Login
If your organisation provided you with a token (e.g. CUST-ABC123), enter it directly in the login field โ no email address needed. The login field accepts any valid identifier.
Setting Up Your Profile
Your profile controls how you appear to team members on the map.
- Display Name โ Your full name, visible to teammates
- User Ticker โ A 2โ4 character abbreviation that appears inside your map icon (e.g.
JDfor John Doe)
Go to Settings โ Profile to edit these at any time.
Configuring Your Device
Each device is an independent entity in Xopoz. You can customise how each device looks on the map.
- Device Name โ Auto-detected from hardware; you can rename it
- Device Ticker โ Short abbreviation for the device
- Device Type โ Phone, Tablet, or Laptop
- Color โ Choose a background color for your device icon on the map
- Emoji Icon โ Pick one of 100 device-themed emojis (๐ฑ ๐ป ๐ฎ ๐งโฆ)
Privacy-First Design
By default, Xopoz does not share your location with anyone. Your GPS data stays on your device until you explicitly join a team and enable location sharing.
- No location data is shared without your explicit consent
- You can leave a team at any time to stop sharing
- Two independent privacy controls: local save and push to team
- All shared location data is encrypted โ the server stores only encrypted blobs
See the Settings guide for full details on privacy controls.
