How GPS tracking works

;

The tracker uses fixed orbit GPS satellites to find its location on the earth. The tracker therefore
needs to be able to ‘see’ the sky in order the receive satellite information.
The tracker requires its own mobile GSM SIM card so it can send GPS locations to the website and
the mobile APP. It also allows for text and voice communications.
Locations are automatically uploaded to the website using inexpensive mobile data.
The website saves the location data for up to 6 months.

The mobile APP is used to display the information stored on the website.
The APP and the website are also used to control and change tracker settings.
The tracker, APP and website work seamlessly together with virtually no delay in operation.

The trackers GSM SIM card must have the ability and credit for voice, text and data.
The only ongoing cost is for the SIM card usage payable to the SIM provider. Due to the nature of
this product, a PrePay SIM card is sometimes more than sufficient, but ensure ‘auto top-up’ is
selected when registering the SIM phone number with the service provider.
