GPS Tracker FAQ's
What is a GPS tracker?
A GPS tracker is a device that uses the Global Positioning System to pinpoint and monitor the exact location of people, vehicles, or assets in real-time. It’s an effective solution for enhancing security, managing fleets, and personal safety.
How accurate are GPS trackers?
The accuracy of GPS trackers typically ranges from 15 to 30 feet, depending on device quality and environmental factors such as buildings, weather, or signal interference. Trackershop supplies high-performance trackers with dependable accuracy.
Do GPS trackers work indoors?
Some GPS trackers can function indoors, but accuracy may vary. They might provide a general area rather than a precise location. For critical use cases, outdoor tracking offers the best reliability and precision.
Do GPS trackers need a subscription?
Advanced, high-quality GPS trackers require a subscription (either monthly, annual or multi-year) to cover data transmission and access to tracking software. Trackershop offers cost-effective plans that cater to different budgets and needs, from personal use to fleet management.
Can GPS trackers be used for personal safety?
Absolutely. GPS trackers are a popular choice for monitoring the safety of children, elderly family members, or lone workers. They provide real-time location updates and peace of mind for caregivers and employers alike.
How are GPS trackers powered?
GPS trackers are powered in different ways depending on the model and intended use:
- Internal Battery: Portable GPS trackers are equipped with rechargeable batteries for quick deployment.
- Vehicle Power Source: Devices that connect to an OBD-II port or hardwire into the vehicle draw power directly from the vehicle.
Can GPS trackers be detected?
While most GPS devices are discreet, they may be detected using specialised equipment. For added privacy, Trackershop offers covert options that resemble everyday objects, reducing the likelihood of discovery.
Are GPS trackers legal?
The legality of GPS trackers depends on their intended use and local laws. When tracking a person, it’s essential to gain consent and comply with regulations. Using trackers for legitimate purposes, such as securing vehicles or managing fleets, is generally accepted.
Can GPS trackers function without cellular service?
Some advanced GPS trackers rely on satellite communication, ensuring they work even in remote areas without cellular coverage. However, most consumer-grade trackers transmit location data through cellular networks.
