So far so good for GPS, finders and accessories

Updated daily The downside is that it doesn't send me the notifications it should. I took it on a hike and got nothing when I rode it 30 miles. Indicates the battery is good and the signal is stable.

Pros
  • Excellent design
Cons
  • Can't remember

The tracker works best with GPS, finders and accessories

The tracker works exactly as advertised. It notifies me when the device moves outside the geofence and multiple geofences can be set. I didn't have to call support so I can't speak to support.

Pros
  • It's amazing
Cons
  • A few minor things

Getting better!

It's perfect! This solar unit can be connected to any of my devices, I don't have to worry about charging or wiring, I can rely on the fastest 24/7 reporting setup. Well made unit, like all Trak 4 units I have been using their units for several years and have had very good luck with all of them. This solar option is perfect now, you don't need to plug or unplug it to charge.

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • Obsolete model

A great product just got better!

I've been using GPS trackers to track gear for years and love the Trak-4 brand. They were all high quality and Trak-4 seems to have lower subscription prices than other brands I've used. All in all, keeping them charged can be a real challenge when connected to devices in multiple workspaces. I'm really excited about this new self-loading solar version as it should save me a lot of time. I'm trying it out on a skid steer loader and so far so good. I plan to order a few!

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Some cons

It just doesn't work as advertised

This tracker is a waste of money, don't worry. This GPS only pings at random times and does a terrible job of properly tracking rides. I just see my truck parked outside and the tracker says it's been 5 miles down the road for 5 hours. It's not even good for a rough estimate of where your car is. I contacted customer service regarding this and they asked me questions like: GPS trackers out there? Under a metal roof? No, it is in clear daylight and not close to the building. Does GPS work near…

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product

Handy with GPS, finder and accessories

I placed it on my cargo trailer behind the vent where it is not visible from the road and is always exposed to the sun. It only needs 20 hours of sunlight per week to function properly. I used industrial velcro to attach it to the roof. Batteries last 5 years. If it sees ten satellites, it will give you the exact position. If not, you get the area determined from the cell tower triangulation. The user interface is easy to use. It has three easy-to-select report levels, each more powerful than…

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • There are new competitors

Tracker works well

Tracker works exactly as advertised. It notifies me when the device moves outside of its geofence and multiple geofences can be configured. I didn't have to call support so I can't speak to support.

Pros
  • Computer, Phone or Tablet | Ideal for GPS tracking of assets, inventory and vehicles | Compact size
Cons
  • There are more interesting options.
