Yes – Live tracking is available with all AutoAlert GPS Tracking devices.
Yes, we have customers all around the world using our innovative GPS tracking system. Our devices work globally so you can see where your vehicle is wherever it is on the planet.
Note: Our managed SIMS currently do not offer roaming. If you are using an AutoAlert GPS tracking device in a country outside the UK, then you will need your own SIM which works in the relevant country.
From the AutoAlert website or from the AutoAlert Monitor iPhone application, simply click on vehicle icon then choose tracking in the pop up. From there you can decide how long you want the unit to keep sending its location and at what frequency.
Note: If the unit runs out of power, then tracking will need to be restarted.
The latest location of your vehicles can be viewed from your account when logged into the AutoAlert website.
You can also view your vehicles location on your smartphone or using our dedicated iPad and iPhone Monitor application which is available to download from the iTunes store.
Battery life is dependant on a number of factors including how often the unit is transmitting its location and how easy it is for the unit to connect to the mobile network and see GPS satellites.
The battery life can last a few days but will be used more quickly the more often the unit transmits its location.
We suggest ensuring the unit is charged each night. It can be plugged into a cigarette charger and get charged automatically from the vehicle or the unit can be installed into the vehicles power.
The unit needs to be able to communicate with the mobile network and see GPS satellites, if it is obstructed by metal or heavy objects it could cut its ability to send a correct location. The unit can send its location through plastic.
Please check the following:
The portable GPS tracking device can be configured to send its location only when it has moved more than a certain distance.
For more accurate tracking, use our Installed GPS tracking devices which send their location when your vehicle ignition has been switched on.
