GPS tracking questions
A GPS tracker calculates location using satellite signals and sends available location and device data through a cellular connection to a web or mobile application.
Choose an OBD tracker for quick installation and continuous vehicle power. Choose the WiFi model if passengers also need a hotspot. Commercial fleets that need video should consider a connected dashcam or MDVR.
Portable hardware is useful for people, equipment, bags, vehicles without a compatible OBD port, and situations where the tracker needs to move between uses.
Accuracy varies with satellite visibility, buildings, terrain, weather, installation, and device conditions. Outdoor location is generally more reliable than enclosed or obstructed environments.
Tracking depends on both GPS visibility and compatible cellular coverage. No GPS or wireless service is available everywhere or at all times.
