    Got a busted smart phone screen. I use the device with KT. If I buy a phone today while on duty and start using the new device with KT will it simply pick up where I left off and leave me with good data?

    Make sure you log off somehow before you switch devices I think it wont save unless you log out on old device and log back in on new one. You'll lose everything you did prior to switching if you do not logout first I believe

    No. Prepare a paper log backup before you go by new phone.

    Everything will have to be transferred over or re-downloaded to new phone.

    Keeptruckin has online backup system. Buy new phone, login and you will see your logs. Continue driving with new phone..

    You *should* be fine getting a new phone and simply logging in.

    No need for paper and transferring info.

    If the phone is still working I just order a new screen and install it.

    yup I have new glass enroute. I will repair the busted phone and sell it to get some of my money back. I simply couldn't tolerate that god-awful feel of rubbing my finger on small shards of glass.

    I just started KT in December. Not questioning what your saying but how do you mean it's dangerous and too accurate gps?
