Analyzing the persons most frequent locations

  4. On the Geo-loc analyses tab right-click the map location you want to investigate further, then select Zoom to this item. This will zoom to the latitude and longitude where the most geo-location events occurred in the map location.

    3. Decide whether you want to search or perform surveillance at the location if you determine it is a place of interest, for example a partners or parents home.
