There are a variety of GPS trackers specifically designed for tracking the location and historical movement of cars. GPS trackers for cars are made with a wide range of differences in size, shape, battery life, features, and reporting frequency, depending on what is needed for a specific use case.
GPS tracking devices for cars are typically installed inside or outside a car. Car or vehicle trackers may be powered by an internal battery that is rechargeable with several days of battery life. Another option is a GPS tracker that can be wired into your car’s battery, thus eliminating the need to manually recharge the tracker over time.
Once a tracker is installed on your car, you can easily monitor the movement of your vehicle using a mobile app that displays the tracker’s location on a map.
Generally speaking, it is legal for you to track things or assets that you have ownership of such as vehicles, precious objects, pets, etc.
One of the best and most common applications of GPS trackers is tracking vehicles to prevent car thefts. Both individuals and businesses benefit from tracking the things they own for safety and security reasons.
If you have further questions about how GPS trackers can legally be used in your state, make sure to review your local regulations to confirm you are in compliance with the law.
GPS trackers are often small or magnetic and can therefore be quickly attached somewhere out of sight.
If you suspect someone has placed a GPS tracker in or on your car without your consent, it is recommended that you contact law enforcement for assistance.
A majority of GPS trackers contain a SIM card that allows the tracker to communicate with cellular networks like a cell phone. While GPS trackers get their location data from GPS satellites generally, trackers still need to get their location data back to a server so that the data can quickly be displayed on a map for the person tracking. For this reason, GPS trackers typically contain a SIM card so that the tracker can utilize cellular networks to send location data quickly.
Some GPS trackers also use cellular networks for additional location reporting ability. Cellular derived location pings are typically not as accurate as GPS location pings, and often cellular pings show the location of the nearest cellular tower instead of the GPS device. However, GPS trackers with this cellular reporting feature can provide a general location ping at times when the device is in a location where it cannot achieve a GPS signal.
GPS trackers work best outdoors but they are also capable of working indoors inside a home or building. The type of materials the building is made of and anything around the tracker can impede the ability for the device to achieve GPS or cellular signal.
A good rule of thumb is to avoid the GPS tracker being encased in (or surrounded by) metal, which is a material that is is often hard to penetrate with GPS or cellular signals. You may find a GPS device can work well in certain buildings but not in others.
All Logistimatics trackers require a tracking service plan. GPS trackers provide value by showing you their current and historical location data within an easily accessible app or interface. This location data must be stored and typically hosted on a cloud server that has costs to maintain.
Most reputable and trustworthy GPS companies will require a monthly or yearly service fee to account for the application development and storage of tracking data.
Tracking interval or delay is the time that GPS trackers take to update the location, coordinates, or relative information within the tracking app.
In practice on a map, a location update looks like a dot that appears indicating the position of the tracker and the time the position was recorded. The amount of time it takes for the next location update dot to appear is called the GPS tracking interval. For real-time tracking, you want a device that updates the location every 30 seconds when moving.
To save cellular power, most upgraded GPS devices come with motion activation circuits. The GPS tracker will only give you an update of the location when it is moved. Therefore, if it is not moving or changing positions, you will not get an update. This GPS option is useful to save battery health.
A Geofence is a virtually created geo-boundary or zone that is permanently stored in the tracking app until deleted. Geofences are typically created by first typing in an address that the Geofence will center around. Once a Geofence is created, GPS trackers can then send alerts to the user when the tracker enters or exits a Geofence area.
There are three primary options for how to power a GPS tracking device:
Your phone will typically not allow you to find a GPS tracker hidden or installed on your vehicle or property. To detect a GPS device, you will either need a device that detects a GPS signal or detects a cellular signal. Most GPS devices utilize both of these signals to operate and track.
Companies develop and sell apps that can allow a user to download an app and track a cellular phone. These apps require having access to the specific phone you want to track beforehand to download and install the app in question.
There are many free mobile apps that will allow you to track an item or person. Remember that people must consent to be tracked, and the person also downloads the tracking app on their own phone (if they typically carry their phone with them most times). This is a common tracking technique for families that monitor loved ones for safety and security purposes.
Absolutely. Once you have a GPS tracker installed on your vehicle, equipment, or asset, you no longer need to worry about what happens if something goes missing or gets stolen. You gain peace of mind knowing you can monitor your valuables at any time and you can also receive alerts if your asset starts moving unexpectedly.
Save time, stay informed, reduce stress, and save money for your bottom line. GPS trackers can benefit people and businesses in a variety of different ways.
This answer will depend on the type of GPS tracker and what powering options are available for a specific use case.
Some GPS trackers can last for weeks and will need to be recharged periodically. These trackers typically report their location constantly and can be used for vehicle or personal tracking.
Other trackers don’t recharge and instead feature a long-term battery of 3+ years! These long-term battery GPS trackers typically only report a single location once per day.
Finally, there is a type of GPS tracker that receives power from an external source, such as a car battery or the battery of a piece of equipment. These types of GPS trackers can wire to an external source or they can utilize specific ports such as a vehicle’s OBD port or lighter port.
