Helps Me Keep Track of the Crew

We’ve got GPS trackers on 4 trucks and 3 trailers covering jobs across the Houston area—from Katy to Pasadena and up through The Woodlands. The biggest benefit has been keeping tabs on the crew. If a customer calls asking where the team is, I can check the app and give an answer in seconds.

Funciona el rastreador

El rastreador GPS chiquito me ha servido mucho para saber dónde andan mis trocas de jardinería y unas herramientas. Me gusta que tienen ayuda en inglés y en español cuando ocupé apoyo para poner los aparatos a funcionar.

Wife Was Cheating

Slapped this tracker on my "wife's" Nissan Rogue when I started noticing she was suddenly way too busy with yoga and ignoring my texts. Something was totally off—and yeah, I was right. This little tracker is tiny and super easy to stash under the seat. Got the real story, no guessing. After that, It's been David Goggins and hitting Spartan races hard. Honestly? Time to upgrade—to a newer, better woman.

Get The Facts About GPS Tracking

Equipment GPS Tracker

How Do Active Trackers Differ From Passive Ones?

Active trackers send location updates in real time, while passive trackers store data to be downloaded later. Active trackers keep you constantly informed about where your asset or vehicle is, which is great for instant peace of mind. Passive trackers don’t use live updates—they record the trip and let you review the history afterward. Both have their uses, but if you want immediate tracking and alerts, active is the way to go.

Is There a Mobile App I Need To Download?

Yes, we have a user-friendly GPS tracking app for all our devices, highly rated on the Apple Store and Google Play. But if you prefer, you can also access your tracker through our web-based platform—just log in to see real-time GPS locations and historical data from any browser. This gives you flexibility to track however works best for you.

Do I Need a Separate SIM Card or Phone Plan?

No, you don’t need to buy your own SIM card or phone plan. Our GPS tracking device come with a SIM card, and setting up an account takes about 2 minutes. Scan the QR code on your tracking system, choose your data plans, and you are all set!

Are There Backup Systems To GPS?

Yes. While GPS is the most common satellite navigation system, there are several other global and regional systems that serve as backups or alternatives. These include GLONASS (Russia), Galileo (Europe), and BeiDou (China). Many real time GPS trackers use multiple systems simultaneously to improve accuracy and reliability, especially in challenging environments.

What Is The Role Of The Almanac In GPS Trackers?

The almanac is a data file that helps your GPS tracker quickly find satellites and get a location fix. This file contains details about the orbits and status of all GPS satellites, letting your device know exactly where to look in the sky. That speeds up how fast your tracker connects and starts delivering accurate location data.

What's The Lifespan Of A Typical GPS Satellite?

A typical GPS satellite lasts about 10 to 15 years in orbit. These satellites are built to be durable but face harsh conditions in space. When one reaches the end of its life, it’s replaced by a newer satellite to keep the GPS network running smoothly and accurately.

Can I Track More Than One Vehicle or Person From a Single Account?

Yes, you can track multiple vehicles or people from a single account. Our system lets you manage all your trackers in one place, so it’s easy to switch between devices, see real-time locations, and monitor each asset or person whenever you need.

How Do Atomic Clocks Contribute To GPS Accuracy?

Atomic clocks give GPS satellites exact time measurements, allowing your device to calculate precise distances. GPS works by measuring how long signals take to travel from satellites to your tracker. Since signals travel at the speed of light, even tiny timing errors can cause big location mistakes. Atomic clocks keep time so accurately that satellites can send near-perfect timestamps. Your GPS device uses these timestamps from multiple satellites to pinpoint your exact location with high accuracy.

Will My GPS Tracker Show Me a History of Where It’s Been and For How Long?

Yes, you can see a full history of where your tracker has been and for how long—up to one year. Our system stores detailed location data so you can review past trips anytime, giving you a complete picture of your asset’s movements whenever you need it.
