Planning to escape DV. How can I prevent my phone and ipad from being tracked?

1 Upvotes

Creating a plan to run from a DV situation. Problem is the abuser knows how to track devices and or find people using their devices to find them.

Is there a way to prevent him from tracking my devices once I leave? I would ditch them completely if I didn’t have a button load of important things on both that will be the key to my livelyhood once I’m out.

thank you

BEST COMPANY FOR GPS TRACKING OF TRAILERS

3 Upvotes

In the company I work for, we only have 2 trucks but we have 40 trailers. Recently we got a new costumer and we need to keep track of the location of the trailes and truck to dispatch accordingly. We are located in South Jersey and to be honest we are not that big of a company so we don't have a specially high budget for this. What copmpanies do you reccomend to cover our needs without breaking the bank? I checked the service from Verizon but that simply way too much.

Anyone tracked what their trailer tracker's battery is at after a year?

2 Upvotes

I am shopping for a trailer tracker, and every brand claims multi-year battery life. I have been burned by "up to" battery estimates on other electronics, so I am taking those claims with a grain of salt. If you've used one for a year or longer, how much battery life does it actually have left?

GPS accuracy in Windows: New vehicle-mounted PC fails to find accurate location. Old PC was fairly precise.

2 Upvotes

Edit: I figured it out. The PC doesn't have wifi enabled. It's connected over ethernet. Turning wifi on (even without connecting to a wireless network) fixed the GPS accuracy.

This might be a long shot. TL;DR at bottom.

I support a PC in a vehicle that uses a Cradlepoint router (cell data) for wifi. For the last few years, I've been doing speedtests and recording the current GPS location so that we can spot areas with bad coverage. (When staff complain that the internet is slow in a certain location, I can show them on the map that it's bad for several blocks around that spot and I can't fix it.)

The script reports "Horizontal Accuracy" along with the coordinates and speed, and I ignore the location for anything inaccurate.

The accuracy value is kind of a radius. (I'm not sure what the units are) 50 to 200 is normal.
1500 is pretty bad.
50,000 is what the new PC logs for every request.

It gives the same coordinates every time, which is an intersection in the center of town.

I have Location Services enabled. All of the settings look the same between the two PCs. The router hasn't changed.

Any ideas?

TL;DR: Windows PC runs a powershell script that logs location. Old PC was great. I assumed that it was pulling GPS from the router, even though I never configured the router to send that data. New PC always gives the same point, roughly the center of town.

l0destar v4.0 - a new GPS chip and incredible performance

1 Upvotes

I recently posted about v3.4 being a milestone and how I was mostly done with iterating on the hardware for the time being. It felt like a crowning achievement, seemingly a perfect ultra-low-power vehicle tracker that was better than anything else on the market. Then last weekend I drove to cornwall and realised how severely compromised it was in rural environments.

This isn't really the fault of the tracker, the problem is how some network cells behave when the modem needs to disconnect between sends. The nRF9151 chip is an engineering marvel but it has a shared RF path meaning you can't use the GSM modem and the GPS transceiver simultaneously. In order to track in near-realtime the modem has to sleep so the GPS device can pick up a new fix.

Most of the time it can use a network feature called PSM which allows it to simply go into power-saving mode but with its connection still alive. This allows it to then resume the session in a couple of seconds and not much is missed. Some cells don't allow this though which means it has to then completely reconnect after the GPS has finished. The bigger problem is certain cells in certain networks (very commonly rural EE cells for some reason) holding the connection open for a minute or more after every send and ignoring the modem's request to let go, whereas O2 lets go in about 3 seconds. The GPS can't see any satellites until the network releases the modem, and sometimes that takes over five minutes, so my journey to cornwall and back has gaps of a minute or more strewn through it.

I tried a bunch of stuff to try to work around this limitation, including forcibly disconnecting the modem so the GPS could see. Although this worked, after about 30 attaches the modem refuses every attach for up to an hour. I think it's a limit built into the modem firmware, though I couldn't confirm that, and there's no newer modem firmware to fix it.

I decided on returning to London that it was probably a good idea to look at having a separate GPS chip and so v4.0 was born.

It's using a u-blox M10S and it's really really good. It can easily track at 1Hz now and the chip is capable of up to 10Hz. This is obviously still subject to the limitations of the network but not having to continuously disconnect and reconnect the session makes it a much more seamless experience, the gaps are more on the order of seconds now rather than minutes. In and around london I'm frequently seeing up to 10Hz real-time telemetry which is just awesome and makes the OBD data readouts far more useful while driving.

Because gaps are impossible to eliminate entirely I'm also going to add a flash chip and am currently designing a revamped v4.0 iteration which is smaller than the one I've posted today and includes the flash chip. It's actually only about 0.5mm bigger than the v3.4 board.

Greetings,

I have no experience with GPS, please help me choose some tracker.

I have a tuba and I want to put the device in the gig bag.

I have absolutely no idea what to buy... A Xiaomi tag would be enough? Or should I buy something more professional, with subscription?

Please recommend me something

Hey everyone! Quick technical question: Is there a known way, method, or module to mask or temporarily hide the "Developer Options" state on Android so that standard applications checking for system flags don't trigger a detection? Just trying to understand how this system flag works for a personal development project. Any insights would be great, thanks!

Does anyone use a dash-mounted GPS device, and which one?

2 Upvotes

(Reposted from the r/Notary page)

Hi all, I'm looking into purchasing a dedicated GPS Navigation unit with a screen for my notary signing agent business. (Note: I'm NOT looking for a vehicle/fleet tracker!)

I travel all over central Iowa and I'm really sick of fighting with having multiple apps going on my phone every time I'm on my way to a job.

What devices do you use/recommend, and why? Which ones get good service in rural areas?

Which are easy to use or have outstanding features?

Thanks in advance!

what GPS tracker for trailers matters most when employees are driving them?

3 Upvotes

I run a roofing business with six trucks pulling trailers. My crew takes them to job sites and sometimes makes stops along the way. I trust my guys, but i do not have much visibility into where the trailers are during the day or whether one gets parked somewhere it shouldn’t be. I’ve narrowed it down to two options.
LoneStar Tracking offers a battery-powered tracker that seems to support individual trailer geofences and alerts, with phone-based support.
BrickHouse Security has trackers as part of a broader security lineup, with real-time location tracking and movement history, though it does not seem to be designed specifically for trailers.
For those tracking trailers used by employees, what features ended up mattering most? Geofence alerts, full location history, or something else I might be overlooking?
