Technology

The battery life varies based on factors such as frequency of location updates and driving time. With daily 2-3 hours of driving and real time tracking, the battery is estimated to last 3 to 5 weeks.

The button at the (magnetic side) back of the Magnetic GPS tracker is for tamper alert. This means if you place the tracker on its magnetic side (even on a non-metal surface), the tamper alert button would be pressed. In the event that the tracker is moved or picked up, the button will be released triggering a tamper notification to your phone. 

The warranty on the YoGPS GPS trackers is 30 days from the date of delivery.

Troubleshooting

GPS Trackers may not work in underground locations as they will struggle to communicate with the GPS satellites. However, as soon as the vehicle comes out of the underground location, the location will be updated.

For complete line of sight (troubleshooting) and seamless integration, we ship the tracker with the SIM card. Customers are not required to use their own SIM.

It may take around 1-2 business days for the team to re-activate the SIM card before you may start using the GPS tracker once again.

Each YoGPS tracking device is checked thoroughly for quality in our Toronto location before they are shipped. Hence, you may see the location as Toronto, Canada.

Please charge the tracker for 8 hours, place it in your vehicle and drive your vehicle for 10-15 minutes. The location will be automatically updated.

Sometimes when your tracker is indoors it may have not been able to latch on to a good quality GPS signal. Once you take the GPS tracker outdoors or drive with the tracking device, it will connect to GPS satellites and provide accurate location updates.

Our GPS trackers have no range limitation and will work within Canada, USA and Mexico
