We purchased this product along with the magnetic watertight enclosure for vehicle asset tracking. It exceeded my expectations. It was magnetized to the side of the frame behind the rear bumper.
The PROS
- Good web interface and iOS native app
- Incredible battery life. Got 11 days of stop and go (vehicle parked at night, stopped for several hours during the day). Very impressive. It's "smart sleep" mode really works (goes to sleep when it's not moving and wakes up and starts sending cellular signals once it moves). That strategy seems to work well.
- 1 minute intervals is perfect
- No contract or commitment. $20/month with month to month on/off.
- Very flexible and useful alerting (email, SMS, push notifications on phone and browser)
- Compact, good form factor, good water tight magnetic case for under vehicle placement (sold separately).
- Good cellular connectivity. We're in a pretty populated area, but it never went off the map or lost connection.
- Zone alert (geo fencing) worked perfectly when vehicle in and out of HQ area.
- The speed limit feature worked (and we caught our driver doing over 90 mph on the highway).
The CONS
- The app doesn't show battery life. You have to use the web browser to see battery.
- Web app a little clunky, too many clicks/touches to go back and forth between maps and trips and having to re-select the date every time.
- Quite a few false positives saying a trip was started when one was not. But it seems to later flatten the data and correct them. So I would get 3 different "trip started" notifications, but later look back at trips and see there was only 1. It also gets confused sometimes at stop lights, thinking a trip has ended, but only a couple times.
- GPS projection on the map was sometimes a ways off. I know some of this is inherent to GPS. Overall it was good, but sometimes, we were trying to locate our vehicle in a large lot and it was showing the map dot in the woods behind the lot when it was really several rows into the lot.
- Wish I could un/subscribe to the monthly cellular plan right in the app instead of having to log into the web site. More flexible to turn it on/off month by month as needed.
- The speed limit alert is not always accurate. It did catch the driver over 75 couple times, and one time the driver admitted to going over 91 mph. However, it also alerted that the driver went 110 mph and I truly believe the driver that they did not go that fast. So hard to rely on as a forensic/disciplinary tool.
- $20/mo is not cheap but reasonable. I just wish I could get more, but can't afford $20/mo for each device. I also wish they prorated (vs paying for whole months).

Loved it UNTIL!
I bought this so I can track my husband I suspected that he was doing something behind my back. So I bought this and it was helpful it does work and it did allow me to see what I needed to see the only downside to this and why I wouldn’t purchase again is because he eventually suspected that I was up to something and he found it and he hid it and it’s somewhere in the house cause I could still see it here but unfortunately it cannot be paged which is something that would be useful so I would love to give it 5 stars but my money went to garbage
