Whether it’s an important backpack you want to monitor or your entire fleet of cars in New Zealand, a GPS tracker is the tool for the job. It’s also an ideal way to make sure your loved ones are safe and sound, especially when they’re out exploring.
The technology behind a GPS tracker is a collection of satellites in continuous orbit around the Earth, each transmitting radio signals that pinpoint the position of any particular vehicle at any time. This data is then sent to the tracking device in the vehicle, which in turn sends it to a free online tracking service that allows you to view your car’s location on Google Maps.
There are a few different types of GPS trackers to choose from, but most of them work the same way. The first is a self-contained unit that you place in your car or truck. This type of GPS tracker is more expensive than the portable models but they are usually more durable and can be more discreet.
Another kind of GPS tracker is a hard wired model that requires a sim card to be inserted into it before you can use it. These units are more powerful and can do a lot of extra things that the self-contained ones can’t do, but they are also a bit harder to hide.
The third option is a portable tracker that you can carry with you and plug it into the power source of any vehicle to use it. This can be a convenient and affordable option for anyone who has multiple vehicles and needs a tracking solution.
You can also buy a GPS tracker for your family, allowing you to be aware of where they are all the time without contacting them through phone calls or texts. This makes it easier to keep your loved ones safe and ensure they’re having fun.
This GPS tracker is perfect for people with elderly parents or children who like to wander from time to time. It has a SIM card so you can call up the emergency contacts and it also shows their exact location on Google maps.
If they go far away from home, you can even set up geo-fences around a building or area to alert you if they get out of the area.
