GPS Trackers are small devices that use global positioning satellites to determine and track the precise location of vehicles, equipment, pets or even people. They work by receiving signals from GPS satellites orbiting the Earth which identify the tracker's coordinates. These locations are then transmitted via cellular networks to an online account or app.
GPS Trackers are commonly used to monitor vehicles and provide real-time location updates. Parents can use them to keep track of teen drivers or elderly family members and companies install them on company vehicles to improve fleet management and monitor driving habits. They can also help retrieve stolen vehicles by transmitting location if a theft occurs, track pets, luggage, assets and more.
Most GPS trackers are battery powered and compact in size, about the dimensions of a smartphone but a bit thicker. Waterproof models allow outdoor and marine use. Trackers relay location data via 4G/5G LTE signals where cellular network coverage permits. Entry-level trackers record and transmit basic location reports while high-end trackers can include extra inputs for vehicle diagnostics, driver ID, geofencing, speed alerts and more.
GPS Trackers provide actionable intelligence on the location and movements of anything valuable. Their small size and falling price have made them a versatile tool for personal and commercial tracking applications. Consider trackers connectivity options, battery life, durability, accuracy and the capability of the accompanying software/apps when shopping for these GPS Accessories.
