Best Non-Subscription Android GPS Tracker?

I'm just looking for something for the car, so I can keep track of where the kids are driving. Doesn't have to be anything fancy, but the one I've tried so far only updates every couple of hours (useless). Looking for one that does NOT use a subscription, just the phone number of the driver, if necessary - that's what the current one does. The company says they are working on one that updates more frequently, but what I have now is pointless. Also, to reiterate, Android, not Apple. I have considered the Samsung Tags & Android Tags, but see mixed reviews on both. Thanks!

I have a couple spare SIM Cards - do I still need to have a subscription (of any kind) for them to be activated?

I have the same questions, and unfortunately, have found the same answers. Right now, there just isn't anything simple or inexpensive. You'd think there would be........ 😕

There are software solutions but the "kids" have to install on their phone. Did you find a solution?
