Real-time geo tracking. Zero hardware. One phone. Turn everyday phones into fleet gps trackers. View your devices on a map with real-time locations and alerts. Live map locations, trips, and reports all in one dashboard. Mileage and expenses. Speed alerts. You set the limit. Geo-Zones. Know when devices enter or leave an area. Share live map. No login for customers. Low battery alerts. Never miss a job.
Hardware GPS trackers vs phones—issues I’ve seen helping people choose
1. SIM & Connectivity Lock-In
Global SIMs required, but the providers are impossible to contact.
After 2 years, prices jump — you're trapped.
2G networks being switched off globally, bricking older devices.
3G data costs are disproportionately expensive in many regions relative to wages.
2. SMS-Based Tracking Is Broken
SMS is unreliable and insecure — other people can see your device.
Location is cell-tower-based, so you get an area, not your vehicle's actual position.
Device reconfiguration via SMS frequently fails, requiring physical access.
APN settings vary by telecom provider and need tech support to change.
3. Dangerous Engine Cut-Off
Off-the-shelf devices offer remote engine cut-off via SMS at highway speeds — that's reckless.
Cutting into electrical wiring can void fleet insurance and cause fires unless done by a certified mechanic.
4. You Don't Own Your Own Account
Resellers register devices under their admin account. When they close shop, you lose access to your own fleet.
10 devices often means 10 separate accounts and 10 separate maps.
5. Hardware That Doesn't Fit Real Life
Devices with weak Wi-Fi/GPS chips that "must not be placed near metal" — useless for covert placement under a vehicle.
OBD dongles are trivially removed by staff or customers.
Many installs require repositioning under the dash with splitter cables — mechanic labour and cost.
6. No Single Pane of Glass
Fragmented views: multiple accounts, multiple maps, no unified fleet picture.
7. Labour Gap & Update Nightmare
Fleet-wide policy isn’t a spreadsheet row — it’s physical labour: firmware, APN, or box settings on dozens of hardwired units means paying someone to crawl under every dash, repeatedly.
Same class of pain as only being able to change fleet-wide behaviour after a yard day.
8. Calibration Drift & Cheap Hardware Truth
Budget boxes: heading / motion sensors drift after months of vibration; you think you have truth, you have slowly wrong truth.
Phones aren’t perfect either, but the failure mode here is cheap silicon with no field recalibration without a visit.
9. Cloud vs Landfill
Legacy fleets rarely get seamless fleet-wide OTA for brain-in-the-box; units age into unsupported SKUs while phones get app updates from the store and policy updates from the cloud.
Their pattern is often capex + crawl + landfill; phone-based stacks are enrol + update + redeploy without a bay lift per VIN.
10. Vehicles Still Need to Be Turned or Moved Regularly
Hardwired or poorly designed trackers can flatten batteries if vehicles sit; policy becomes “start every vehicle on a schedule” — another hidden ops tax.
Geo zone speed events being delivered hours after the event is like being punched in the face, in hospital.
Switch logged in user, is a pain in the auth. Just log auth.
I cant give it away. lol
Added LinkedIn. Laborious.
Everyone has a friend that has but never themselves, bought anything worthwhile, off Facebook, Instagram, or Tick Tok. LinkedIn seems the only plausible way forward.
