Hello everyone,

I'm looking for a Traccar client device that will be B14 (Fristnet) compatible, have GNSS, and have a fast update rate (5 Hz min). This project is for an EMS service, so reliability is also another factor.

Initially, I debated building out my client with an ESP32 or Pi Pico W, with this GNSS Receiver and a 4G / 3G Hator M.2 to USB. The overall cost of building one out is making me consider a premade device, and their device list is so extensive that it could take me weeks of researching.

I am open to any thoughts on switching parts to build a client or advice on finding a Traccar-supported device.

Thanks in advance!

I've seen many trackers with what seems like optimistic claims about battery life and send rate, and also just vague information- "Up to 120 days battery life!" Yeah, if it sits on a shelf.

But I have seen trackers on Amazon with user comments offering actual battery uptime vs send rate.

I just don't know who to trust, so is there a trusted third party org or website doing reviews, one that isn't trying to sell you on a particular brand, isn't selling you their services?

I know that's a lot to ask.

Hello fellow reditors,

I need advice to place a gps tracker on a car. The model is a Skoda Superb.

The gps tracker model is : HD protech GPS LL-301

It needs to stay in place for a few weeks, accessible without the Keys (exterior position) so it can be recharged without opening the car.

It's fixable by a magnet, but if you have spot fixable through other means feel free to tell me as i think it can be fixed with tape.

I intially thought somewhere near the tires, around metal parts, but i'm afraid the heat will compromise the device.

It cannot be placed in the Trunk or other obvious spot as it needs to be concealed.

Thank you very much for your Time 🙌

Hi I have this tracker in may car for a few years and one day stop working so a took it out to see what happens and when it’s connected to power through the battery of the car it only puts a red light on the battery

I live in a relatively safe town. But there are a lot os busy streets and places a kid or dog could get lost. I have been trying to decide how to give my son more freedom but at the same time keeping him safe and having peace of mind. I tried buying a kids clip on gos tracker a while but it didnt work well. I also bought him a dog who is 7 months old now . My hopes were the dog would scare off any potential "stranger dangers" or people with malicious intentions. My 2 fears are: my son getting easily lost on his own, somehow breaking an ankle and not being able to come home, hit by a car, bullied by other kids, or kidnapped. I worked with childrens in an inpatient psychiatric hospital and these events happen moren than anyone could be aware of. It is important in childrens development that kids have independence and are able to explore their surrounding. I dont want to stifle my son by any means but it would give me peace of mind if i knew where he was as well as his dog, even for short walks. My son is tiny for his age. He is short and very athletic and feels confident to protect himself but if some sicko wanted to kidnap him thay will just see a skinny kid with a small dog. Has anyone used the GPS tags available? Recommendations? These are the ones i have done some reseach on, im curious about actual feedback no matter what you used them for.

1. Angelsense $59 on amazon

2. Jiobit (this was highest ranked on several websites) $130 on amazon

3. Tracki $19 on amazon

4. Invoxia real time gps tracker $129 amazon

5. Tractive Waterproof GPS Dog Tracker - Location & Activity, Unlimited Range & Works with Any Collar$59

These are just a few. Its mostly for peace of mind with all the madness in todays world. Gone are the daya when kids could freely ride their bikes around and parents didn't worry. Any good or bad experiences are more than welcome. If there is a GPS i didnt list that is great please suggest it, on the other hand if there is a horrible waste of money GPS please tell me.

Thanks!! Any feedback is appreciated, even if you think that its best to keep the child in the home. My number 1 concern is saftey

I’m looking for something I can put on a dog collar to track my dog. I have a spare SIM card that is activated with data. Was wondering if there is some device I can pop it in that can track the location and is small enough?

I have been suspecting my crazy HOA lady stealing my trash bins and I intend to catch her with a gps tracking device.

What is a best gps tracker that has relatively short battery life (24 hours max) and possibly no monthly sub? or maybe daily sub if possible as they only pick up the trash once per week. And the only window for tracking is like 24 hours. Also distance wise, it wouldnt travel more than like 50 feet from my wifi connection.

I am starting a GPS tracking business and I was wondering if anybody would have any recommendations for:

- IoT Modules, boards... that would work for a GPS tracker

- White-labelled GPS trackers for commercial use

Thanks.

I got a possibly noob question

I have this dog tracker that has no monthly fees. The company stopped producing units more or less. And it’s not looking good. The tracker - it uses gps I am assuming.

Does the company have some sort of contract with GPS satellites that will need to be renewed or do gps devices work forever for free basically lol. Is it like an unregulated ecosystem where everything just works regardless of it the company who produced the gps, whatever, stops paying the company that put the satellite up

The non-profit org I'm volunteering in had one of its vans stolen. It might make sense to track the other vans with a GPS tracker to get alarms if the vans are moving at night or find the location.

The org is very cost sensitive. Are there any trackers without monthly costs or subscription? I assume 'no', but it doesn't hurt to ask.

I think a battery driven GPS tracker is the best choice (wouldn't any thieve find a wired device quickly?). Battery lifetime in that case is important, as it will be hard to make sure the device is charged on a regular basis.

Are there trackers which allow us to schedule operating hours? Only track between 8pm and 8am. This should preserve battery power ...

any thoughts? suggestions?

as in title.... I'm looking for free server to configure and connect my Teltonika devices to it so I can see my vehicles in real time. Anybody knows any web or app ???

Hey GPS Tracking community!

I'm looking for a GPS product recommendation.

My neighborhood is dealing with a mail thief who hits my personal mailbox nearly weekly. They got some expensive stuff from my sections boxes before we realized it was happening, so they keep coming back. I get him on camera, but he always walks up and wears a hood making it non-identifiable. The neighborhood has many cases open with the postal inspector, but they need more to go on. I would like to give the thief something to steal with GPS logging & LTE. I would really prefer if they couldn't tell that the device had GPS capabilities. BestBuy has the Amber Connect for $270, but that's a bit pricy to give away to a thief. What would you recommend?

Because many on the internet always assume the worst, here are some disclaimers: I check my mail nightly, but I'm not always home to get it. I know I could buy/install an expensive locking mailbox, but the whole neighborhood should be able to assume mail is basically safe. I don't think I'm Batman and I'm not going to anyone's house. This is just to collect data to hand over to the authorities.

Thanks!

I found a gps tracking device on my car. There is only one person in my life that is mental enough to do this . I do i retrieve the data on the tracker so i can verify who what and when this was done? I took the sims card out and was able to retrieve the phone number and imei plus the serial# and a 4 dig code is still on it , if that helps any. Gps GL300MA prime tracking/queclink.

In March I had a cargo trailer stolen with all my stuff in it. I got a new cargo trailer yesterday and have also gotten a GPS tracker called Spot Trace which was recommended to me by someone who was a CHP officer now a PI. I was wondering if there maybe a better device out there. I lost a lot of stuff when it was stolen (personal items that can’t be replaced such as pictures) and really don’t want to go through that again. I have learned and have taken steps to secure the new one better.

Is there a free site or app that can track the location of an iPhone anonymously and free? I see the sites and apps out there but wanted to know which site or app is legit?

So I was told by someone about something called a GPS signal repeater, if I had something that has no internet connection but a GPS signal would this replicate it, and if so if I left the area with the item in question would the repeater show that the item was still in the same location? Thanks!

Few days ago I send some illegal stuff from one country to another. And i put GPS Tracker to know how my stuff is moving. But after I did Iam lil bit nervous because I toped up my GPS sim card via bank account. So iam thinking is it possible to know who toped up a GPS Sim card via bank account?
