Abstract: A method comprising maintaining (A, B), by a device (6), communication with a monitoring unit (7); determining, by the device, an absence of communication from the monitoring unit; based at least on a result of said determining, starting monitoring (F) of at least one variable related to distance moved by the device and/or time elapsed; if the at least one variable meets at least one criterion, determining that the absence of communication from the monitoring unit is not due to a blind spot. A device securely attachable to a person (5) may be configured to carry out this method, which may be user in offender monitoring.
