December 11, 2011Quite Surprised,
OK, few things in life surprise me, but this is one of them. I decided to get a GPS tracker to keep track of my elderly father, who has gotten lost a few times recently while driving. But I didn’t like the idea of getting one of those premium units. The price seemed high, but some people have also complained of the electronics in their car getting affected (since these units plug into the OBD-II port). So I opted for this unit, albeit being a bit skeptical because of the low price and no manufacturer name mentioned.
When the item arrived, it was basically a black plastic, brick-like object in a plain manilla envelope; and with no original packaging. In addition, it looked like the instructions were typed up by someone in Microsoft Word. I was considering returning it all because of such low-budget packaging, but figured maybe this is all how it’s supposed to be because of the low price and no company name…kind of like when you buy a designer coat at a deep discount, but it comes without the label. This GPS tracker also came ready to go with a 30-day free trial. So I figured I’d give it a try.
Well, it worked flawlessly. The directions were straightforward and easy to follow. The unit booted up and found its satellite connection in a few minutes with no problem. In addition, the website for tracking was so easy to use and has so many advanced features. You can use the traditional map view as well as satellite imaging, and you get zooming for each just by rolling your mouse wheel. There are also reports you can generate which show each numbered tracking point in the route (which you can connect by line on the map or satellite); and the speed, direction, and other data at that reading. If you are using live tracking, you should set the slider for the refresh rate as low as possible to the left (10 seconds), as even with that, there is a slight delay between readings. But it’s not bad.
One final thing I like about this unit is its portability. It plugs right into your cigarette lighter, although a wired fuse adapter is included if you want to hard-wire it. After having my friend try it out, I put it right into my own car and have been using it for several days. As long as your cigarette lighter is full-time connected to the battery, the unit will always stay on and not have to re-boot every time you start the car. My friend said it even worked from within his glove box, so I may put my dad’s there or hide it under the dash. Monthly plans are $8 (emergency activation), $16, and $25, all of which are quite reasonable.
So give it a try. I think you’ll be quite surprised!
