From a wire in your dashboard to a dot on your screen
Five steps connect the device installed in your vehicle to the map you check on your phone.
- Step 01
GPS Device Installed
A technician wires a compact GSM/GPS tracking device into the vehicle, connected to power, ignition, and, optionally, the fuel relay.
- Step 02
Satellite Communication
The device's GPS chipset acquires a satellite fix, pinpointing the vehicle's location to within a few metres.
- Step 03
Secure Data Transmission
Location, speed, and status data is sent over the mobile network (GSM/GPRS) to the tracking platform's servers.
- Step 04
Cloud Processing
The platform processes incoming data, building trip history, checking geofence rules, and generating alerts.
- Step 05
Mobile App / Dashboard Tracking
You view live location, history, and alerts from the tracking app or web dashboard, whenever you need to.
What can affect tracking
GPS tracking depends on real-world conditions, worth understanding before you rely on it.
Network coverage
The device reports over the mobile network, so service is subject to the telecommunications provider's coverage.
Physical obstructions
Underground parking, tunnels or signal jamming can temporarily interrupt the GPS fix, the same as any GPS device.
A monitoring aid
Tracking is a powerful aid for locating a vehicle quickly. It isn't a guarantee against theft or loss.
