How GPS trackers work
Satellites find it. Cellular reports it. Your phone shows it.
Satellite lock
The tracker works out its own position.
Cellular upload
The built-in SIM sends it to our servers.
Your phone
The app shows where it is and sends alerts.
Cellular, not Bluetooth
An item finder needs a stranger's phone nearby. A GPS tracker reports on its own.

What our customers are saying
Love it.
Working good so far on our equipment. Holding up just right in rain and dirt.
This GPS tracker is a great choice for anyone wanting something more dependable than an AirTag.
Worked like it should. Easy enough to set up and the alerts come through when something moves.
Hardwired the tracker device to my E-Z-GO and it has been solid since.

GPS trackers for assets, vehicles and equipment
Questions people ask before buying a tracker
What is a GPS tracker?
A small device that works out where it is from the satellite network and reports that position over a cellular connection to an app on your phone. Fitted to a vehicle, a trailer or a machine, it tells you where that asset is now, where it has been, and the moment it moves when it should not have.
Can a GPS tracker be detected?
Bluetooth tags announce themselves, because modern phones warn people that an unknown tag is travelling with them. A cellular GPS tracker does not broadcast to nearby phones, so it is far harder to stumble across. Anyone who suspects one on their own car needs a detector rather than a phone.
Do you have to pay a monthly fee?
For live tracking, yes. The updates travel over a cellular network and that data costs something. Plans in our range start at about $9.95 a month, and several devices include the first full year. If you would rather not pay monthly at all, the no-subscription models exist for exactly that. The trade is how often the tracker reports.
Do GPS trackers show history?
Yes. Most of the range stores around a year of location history, so you can replay a route, see where something stopped and for how long, and pull a timestamped report.
What is the best way to monitor assets with GPS?
It depends on whether the asset moves between places or stays on one. Magnet-mounted battery trackers suit equipment, trailers and anything you may want to move the tracker between. Hardwired units suit fleet vehicles that stay on the road, because they take power from the vehicle and never need charging.
How do you install a GPS tracker in a vehicle?
Most of the range needs no installation at all. The case is magnetic, so it goes on any steel surface: inside a rear wheel well, under the bumper, on the frame rail. The OBD2 unit plugs into the port under the dash. Only the hardwired models need an installer. Our installation guide walks through each one.
