M-BRACE locate feature - How does it work?
So I've been using the locate feature on the app, half the time it locates the vehicle, have the time it does not.
How does this feature work? Off cell or satellite? Wondering if the vehicle being underground would effect it?
Thanks,

... and the Send2Benz feature even works, so I can send locations to my car's navigation system from my phone.
I did get a location once, but haven't been able to do it again.

I just tried it again. The car is sitting in my driveway, and I have a line of sight view of it from where I am in my house. The MBrace app could not find it. All other functions seem to work just fine, but not the locate one.

I've tried the locate feature a few times and it has worked as advertised and it's very accurate. It works well if the car is within about a mile of your phone. If you're farther away, you'll get a message that lets you know you have to be within a mile.
Apparently this is an anti stalking limitation, not a technical one. However, I found that if you try to locate your car from the mbrace website on a PC, the mile limitation doesn't seem to apply.

just to clarify why it is completely broken:
does not work from PC either, ends in a timeout. And I am not talking a single mbrace account: I have 2015 and two 2014 cars w/mbrace accounts
this must be something new, as it used to work perfectly few years back on my other car....
