FAQs
Is it legal to track someone?
It is legal to track your own property, including any vehicles that you own, whether they are driven by you or a member of your family. When it comes to tracking other people in the vehicles that they own, many states have laws which regulate the use of electronic tracking as part of anti-stalking laws. It’s a good idea to protect yourself by checking on the legality of your GPS tracking applications.
How do I know if there’s a GPS tracker on my car?
It can be difficult to identify a hidden GPS tracker, especially if it’s been professionally installed and is well hidden. Do an exterior and interior sweep on your own or seek professional help if you’re not able to locate a device. For more details, check out our learning article about finding a GPS tracker on your vehicle. Once the device has been located, you can also follow a few simple steps to disable the GPS device.
How can I track a car?
If you need to use a GPS tracker to monitor the movements of a vehicle, there are a number of options available. We invite you to explore our GPS tracking device guide to learn about the different tracking options and which would be most appropriate for your needs. You can also read our article about GPS tracker placement to determine the best location for the tracker to be mounted in the vehicle in order to ensure you get the most accurate results.
How does GPS tracking work?
GPS, which stands for Global Positioning System, operates off of a series of satellites orbiting Earth. These satellites transmit radio signals. A GPS tracker detects those signals and uses them to triangulate its location. Once position is known, the device uses a cellular connection to transmit its location to a web server so it can be recorded and displayed on a map. If you’re looking to dive deeper into how GPS tracking works, you can learn about it in our learning article.
Why is there a SIM card in GPS trackers?
The SIM card is the source of the cellular signal in the GPS tracker. While satellites are responsible for locating the device, the cellular signal is required to send this information to the user via the tracking platform. This information may appear in the form of a moving dot on a map or an alert that provides location coordinates.
Will GPS work indoors?
The most accurate GPS tracking takes place outdoors where the tracking device is positioned in the direct line of sight of at least three global positioning satellites. In some cases, a GPS tracker can also use local cellular towers or nearby Wi-Fi to help pinpoint its location if it cannot communicate with a sufficient number of satellites, but the most accurate location tracking will take place outdoors.
What does a GPS server do?
A GPS server receives and stores all of the location information that has been captured and conveyed by a GPS tracker. This information is accessible by the user via the tracking platform and can be seen as a location on a map or by generating a historical report.
Why is there a monthly fee?
The monthly costs required for GPS tracking cover two things: 1) access to the GPS server which stores your GPS tracker’s location history and 2) the cellular connection used to send the location information to the server so that the user can access the information remotely. Both of these features are required in order for the GPS tracker to function properly and provide the information to the user.
How is an OBD port used for GPS Tracking?
OBD ports, or On-Board Diagnostics ports, are available on all vehicles built for sale in the United States since 1996 and are used to access the computer system for reading emissions tests and diagnosing vehicle problems. This port can also be used for installing additional vehicle components like OBD GPS trackers. An OBD GPS tracker requires only a simple plug-and-play installation and the OBD port provides power directly to the device from the vehicle, eliminating the concern of a dead device battery.
How do I select the right GPS tracker for my situation?
There are four types of GPS trackers: battery-operated, hardwired, plug-in, and satellite-operated. We’ve created a GPS tracker buying guide to help you determine the best tracker type for your needs. We also recommend contacting our team directly so you can discuss your needs with a GPS expert and be paired with the right tool.
How does motion activation work for GPS trackers?
Many GPS trackers are motion-activated to conserve battery life and save on cellular transmission costs. As long as the GPS tracker is not moving, it will only occasionally send updated location information to the user. When a tracker begins to move, the GPS device activates and an update is sent. This is particularly useful for monitoring vehicles that are parked or in storage so the user knows exactly when motion begins. It’s also helpful for conserving battery life while the vehicle is not in motion for a long period of time.
What is a geofence and how is it used in GPS tracking?
Geofences are digital boundaries a user draws on a map in the GPS server. These can be used to demarcate important areas like home, a warehouse, a customer’s business, etc. Alerts are triggered when the GPS tracking device crosses the imaginary boundary line to enter or exit the zone, enabling users to track when the zone was entered or left and for how long. Explore our learning article about geofences to learn about their functions and best uses.
How do GPS trackers get power?
GPS trackers may be powered in one of four different ways: battery, hard-wiring, plug-in, or satellite-powered. Which type of device you choose will depend upon your needs and the location where you intend to track. If you will have reasonable access to the device in order to recharge it when appropriate, a battery-powered tracker might be right for you. If the device will be located inside of a vehicle without needing to be moved, a hard-wired device will likely be the best choice. If you plan to use the device in different vehicles on an as-needed basis, the OBD plug-in tracker will provide you with this ease of use. If you are tracking something in the wilderness or at sea where cellular service is unavailable, you may need to go the route of selecting a satellite tracker which is designed for this application. Learn more by exploring our GPS device guide!
What is reverse geocoding? Why does it matter?
GPS trackers use latitude and longitude coordinates to determine locations, but this information is not very user-friendly and needs to be converted--via reverse geocoding--into a street address. This process requires the system to pinpoint the nearest known points on the map, which are usually intersections of streets, to determine the nearest approximation to a street address. Because this process is an approximation, the location of the physical dot on the map may be more accurate than the actual street address that the system identifies.
