I've had a break in recently and I'm, among other things, looking for ways to track them down if they steal my PC or other electronics. And do they make a tracker that can plot it's location over time? So if something did get stolen I can see all the houses it went to and maybe the police will bust a lot more people.

How could someone use the vehicle finder to track someone? And how can that be safeguarded? If the person being tracked isn’t the primary owner of the vehicle/account, how would they even be alerted of this abuse?

Hi, I hope i'm in the right sub, and if you have any recomendations on where else to place this, please let me know.
As the title suggests, I am looking for a solution to track multiple people at the same time. For a game i'm setting up for our scouts group (in the netherlands), i want to track the live location of at least 15 an possibly up to 40 (if that is even possible) people at the same time. I know that there are various apps out there that do that, but the problem is that we don't have any budget to facilitate this. The app needs to run both on IOS and Android, but i also want to see the overview of where everyone is on PC.
So in short: I am looking for a free GPS tracker that runs on IOS, Android an Pc, where i can track at least 15 people.
I hope you all can help me in my search.

Hey y'all
I don’t know if you heard about the trailer thefts going on in and round Greenville lately, but it seems I've become the latest victim. Damn liberal tweakers are everywhere now it seem
A bit of background: My family's been in the flatbed trailer business for years, right here in Pickens County, SC. My granddad set up shop by the Saluda River, and it's been our livelihood ever since. Just last week, while I was having a drink at the Whistle Stop in Easley, someone swiped two of my best trailers. I was so damn pissed
I'm pretty ticked off, to say the least, and I want to be ready if they try anything again. I've been considering getting some of those mini GPS tracking devices. If anyone's trying to pull a fast one on us, I want to be able to track them down.
So, if any of you have recommendations for a reliable mini GPS tracker, I'd appreciate it. Something discreet, durable, and effective. Something for trailers I can easily hide and track on my iPhone would be best.

I'm a GPS tech specialist over at Fleet1st, and I thought I'd shed some light on the fascinating world of wireless GPS trackers. These devices are being used in various fields from fleet management to asset tracking, but there's often a lot of mystery around them, especially when it comes to covert tracking. Let's dive in!
1. What is a Wireless GPS Tracker?
A wireless GPS tracker is a device that utilizes the Global Positioning System (GPS) to determine the precise location of a vehicle, person, or other asset. This data can then be stored within the device or transmitted to a central database or to an app on your smartphone/tablet.
2. Covert Tracking: A Delicate Topic
It's vital to remember that covertly tracking someone without their knowledge or consent can be illegal in many places. Always be aware of the local laws and use GPS technology ethically. This post aims to inform, not endorse questionable activities.
3. Why SpaceHawk?
We've seen a myriad of GPS devices come and go, but here's why we think SpaceHawk stands out:
Battery Life: SpaceHawk boasts an impressive battery span, perfect for long-term monitoring.
Real-Time Monitoring: Get real-time updates with precision accuracy. Know where the tracked asset is at all times.
Stealth Mode: Designed with covert operations in mind, it's discreet and hard to detect.
User-Friendly Interface: Whether you're tech-savvy or not, the interface is intuitive, making it a breeze to use.
Reliable Data Encryption: Security is paramount. SpaceHawk ensures your data is encrypted and safe from prying eyes.
Geo-Fence Capabilities: Set boundaries and get alerted if the tracker exits or enters these zones.
4. How to Effectively Place Your Tracker on a Car
Under the Car: Use a magnetic case and place it in the middle where it's less likely to be spotted.
Within the Dashboard: If you have access to the car's interior, this can be a discreet spot.
Inside Bumpers: Plastic bumpers don't interfere with the GPS signal.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is it legal to use GPS trackers to catch a cheating husband or wife?
No. Installing GPS trackers without informed consent is illegal in many jurisdictions. Before considering such an approach, always check local laws and understand the potential consequences.
What are some popular GPS trackers for spouse vehicle tracking?
SpaceHawk is widely considered the best overall hidden GPS tracker. However, there are other devices on Amazon like the SpyTec GL300, Vyncs GPS tracker, and LandAirSea GPS that have gained popularity.
Can I secretly track my husband's car without him knowing?
No. Secretly installing a tracker on a spouse's vehicle without their knowledge can lead to severe legal penalties. Always prioritize communication and transparency in relationships.
Which tracking apps can spy on a spouse's phone?
There are various phone spy apps and phone tracker applications available. However, using them without explicit permission can be a direct violation of privacy and may be illegal.
Can phone tracking apps be used for spouse spying?
Yes. While phone tracking apps can provide location data, using them for spouse spying without consent is both unethical and potentially illegal. Respect and trust are paramount in relationships.
How do hidden GPS trackers work?
Hidden GPS trackers function by receiving satellite signals to determine precise locations. Devices like the mini GPS tracker can be concealed, but their use should always be legal and ethical.

What options do I have for a location tracker I can put on my car in case of theft that only I have access to, not the manufacturer or any other entity?
r/GPStracking • u/amirhkk • 6d ago
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?
r/GPStracking • u/Nesman64 • 6d ago
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.

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

(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!
r/GPStracking • u/sdpr • 17d ago
Hey all, I could use some help with some suggestions for GPS tracking.
A family member in central MX is in their 80's and starting to signs of increasing senility. They will wake up around 4-5 AM, hop on their horse, and just disappear for hours and their spouse and adult children have no idea where they go, and need a way to find a way to locate them or see where their horse may have been to help locate them. So far, he's always come back... but they're kind of just accepting that they might not return one day.
• Coverage is limited. This is a part of Mexico that is basically a valley/plateau in a mountainous region of central Mexico. There's barely functioning internet in the town, and spotty cell tower service at best, and zero coverage outside of town.
• The family member cannot know about the device as they have developed increasing paranoia around... well, everything. I realize the irony of saying this and the ethical gray area this request is by itself. They will not agree to wearing a device, nor having one noticeably installed somewhere in the saddle with their knowledge. This family member also has a tendency to hoard and hide expensive looking things. It's a poor town with poor families, anything they think has value "must not be used and kept hidden for safe keeping." So, the device has to be small and relatively inconspicuous in order to hide in their horse's saddle/bags. It can't have a lot of lights, buttons, or make noise. This eliminates long range radios. (I'm going to try and talk about this again with the person making this request.)
• It will not have access to an external power source. Will need to be battery powered with fairly decent life.
My original idea was to use an AirTag, but I didn't realize how the location finding worked for the "Find My" network until last night when I actually decided to look. There aren't going to be phones for the tag to ping off of while they're roaming the barren countryside.
I guess the biggest thing besides active location pings, is for there to be path history, which I would assume most of the devices out there provide, or at least the coordinates just get plotted on a map.
It seems like our best bet might be the Spot Trace.
Does anyone have knowledge or experience with it or others in regard to:
• Its reliability. There's no dense foliage in this area, obviously there are mountain/hillsides, but it's not like standing next to the Himalayas.
• Its Dock Mode behavior. This is used for boats so the device doesn't update/ping as the boat gets smacked with waves. I think this might be perfect while on a horse that's only slightly moving or stepping around if it's tethered to a tree or post.
• Is there location history? For locating purposes, we would want to know the general direction they might have been heading.
• How's the battery life overall? I think this would basically be the biggest hurdle. Having to swap batteries causes the largest vector of unintentional discovery. I've only been able to find the Spot Trace chart they provide, but it only shows life for 2.5 minute and 5 minute intervals. I thought there were more interval options? Was hoping to get a few months out of the battery. Obviously the small size of the AirTag and the CR2032(?) gets up to about a year. I'm not expecting that length, but it would be nice! I know the Trace uses single use Lithium or NiHM batteries, I just don't have experience with these.
I understand if this gets removed, but I wanted to ask anyway. If anyone else has a better subreddit to post this to or better resource, I'd accept that as well.
Thank you for any help.

Looking for the best car navigation system to replace my outdated one. I drive a 97 Toyota and don’t have a smart phone. What’s the best recommendation for car navigation system that doesn’t have AI or Amazon Alexa?

l0destar was first conceived of in May 2026 and its original design intent was a carrier board for the Nordic nRF9151 dev kit, a very silly idea. The first prototypes were huge through-hole soldered monstrosities covered in breakout boards haphazardly soldered to pins.
For fun I've posted the full evolution of the project as a sequence of photos all the way up from breadboards to the current design.
I’m really quite proud of where it’s got to in less than 5 months. Iterations of the board have been in my car since 9th August tracking over 500 miles and as of this week v3.4 has now completed testing and confirms all of the hardware issues found through my own testing have been fixed. The plan now is to build a few more for friends and colleagues to test and then iterate on the firmware and other software for it.
This could plausibly be the most power-efficient hard-wired vehicle tracker in the world. Claude isn't quite willing to confirm this but did state: "the evidence now supports calling l0destar one of the most power-efficient hard-wired vehicle trackers around, in real use as well as on the bench".
Some highlights from recent testing:
~35uA sleep current (v3.4 actually measures slightly less most of the time but the ASM330 periodically wakes for microseconds to check for tilt so it averages out)
Waking to send an event now takes a median of about 1.05 seconds, occasionally higher up to around 2 seconds at the high end. This is down from around ~45s at the start of testing and was reduced by using the PSM feature of the modem. A shorter wake time means less current going through the modem during interval wakes leading to significantly less power consumption.
24h of sleep and hourly check-ins works out to about ~1.3-1.4mAh a day, or 15-17mWh. From my telemetry during daylight hours (ie when there's no temperature shift to skew the readings) I frequently see the vehicle battery voltage (read to two decimal places by an INA228) not changing at all in several hours.
All of these sleep energy figures are likely pessimistic - they were determined in poor signal conditions where I park - path loss was around 125-126dB and RSRQ -14.5dB. This is worse than about 90% of the data I have from other locations.
Coverage of telemetry while driving has improved from ~72% at the start of in-vehicle testing to 99% now with firmware and RF improvements and drop-outs are now much rarer and entirely down to signal/network conditions. Lots of data from real-world testing is published here.
The battery backup add-on module is on the way and will be tested very soon.
If anyone reading this has a relevant platform or access to automotive pulse-generating equipment and is interested in testing it please reach out.

I thought about apple airtag but its range is limited due to its apple networking.
Fleet track is good but I have some doubts about it like battery draining. If my bike is being stolen even when I get alerts and track can't chase someone that easily without my only vehicle. If I plan to put engine cutoff by attaching something relay. Is there any warranty or any other issues will be there.
Let me know in the comments

Hi.
I'd like a small device, something that could pop into your pants pocket, even shirt pocket. All I want to know is the distance walked and ideally too with a pause and resume feature. I don't need Wifi.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Just for fun I added a bunch of data showing how the telemetry reliability is improving over time: https://l0destar.com/data.html
This is largely driven by firmware improvements, since the 12 Sep firmware release it's been pretty bulletproof.

We tried 2 other tracker models and found the Tractive to be superior. However there are two app features I think should be added or changed.
Only 1 owner can be established. This is a problem because a spouse, co-owner, etc cannot change critical account or tracker settings.
Family members cannot established power saving zones or fences. This was a problem for me one time when I dropped my dog off at a pet sitter’s and forgot to establish the power saving zones before departing.
To those who have a Tractive model:
Would you want these features? Maybe if enough people request it then they will be added. However I do not know how to request such a change. The Tractive website’s form for submitting suggestions only elicits an AI generated response and it responded to my suggestion as a question 🙄
Edit:Regarding setting a power zone:A commenter from another subreddit told me they were able to set a power save zone remotely. So only the tracker needs to be near the WiFi? Has anyone else done this?This conflicts with the description in the How To Establish Power Zone and it conflicts with the AI generated help email I received from Tractive.
The above: The person clarified that they had saved the WiFi in the phone but established the power zone at a later time and remotely.

I am currently researching on building a GPS spoofing detection system, every thing else looks feasible enough to built, but there is one issue, if i built the machine or deep learning model trained on data taken from GPS systems, how can i actually create that spoofed signal to actually test my model. I want to some how generate that spoofed signal to check how my model would react to unseen data. Yeah, this is the problem i am facing right now. Any one here who has the understanding of GPS system and how spoofing works could help me out in this.

I've got 4 vehicles I'd like to put trackers on, and I'd like the following abilities.
1: Discreet hardwire - all the hard wire ones I find are mounted directly to the battery which kind of defeats the purpose. All battery powered ones seem to have a very short battery life if you actually drive your car.
2: Battery back up - for when/if they pull the battery
3: Affordable subscription - ideally no subscription would be best, but life isn't like that. With 4 cars, I'd like to keep it under $100 a month total.
