MrTracking’s Guide To GPS Tracking Devices
The GPS was developed in the early 1970s, and gained a solid foothold in the mid-1990s. Relatively
speaking, it is a very new technology. In the last two decades however, it has evolved rapidly, with the
ever-increasing number of satellites circling the Earth, and the ever-shrinking size of the receivers
necessary to use it. Originally envisioned to be used only for navigation, the benefits we reap from this
technology today are countless. You can still utilize this technology to get yourself to your desired
destination, but you can also track your child, your car, your family pet, pretty much anything you can
imagine. We’re now to a point where a GPS is not only helpful, but it can actually save lives.

Why Should You Consider Buying a GPS
Tracker?
There are countless reasons that you should consider purchasing a GPS tracking device. The uses for
GPS technology are so varied, they can benefit anyone. Here are some of the reasons to get one for
yourself:
 Keep track of your children. The world is a scary place these days, and if your child is missing, a GPS
will find them for you.
 Keep track of your pet. As much as we would all love to believe we have the best-behaved animals
around, they have a mind of their own, and if someone accidentally leaves the gate open, you have no
idea where they’ll end up. Without a GPS, you could easily drive around for hours looking, with no
guarantee that you’ll find them.


Keep track of your valuables. Whether your car, camera, or musical instrument, you need to protect
your investments.
 The price of the technology has dropped, and with the constant improvements, the cost-to-benefit
ratio continues to move in your favor.
 The number of features and functionality of the average GPS these days are mind-boggling.
Tracking is far from the only thing a GPS is good for. There really is something for everyone.
 GPS devices are simple. You can quickly configure them, put them wherever you like, and use them
whenever the need arises.
Ultimately, what a GPS tracker gives you is peace of mind. We are all incredibly busy, and have so many
things to worry about these days. The worries of losing someone or something, or having your valuable
possessions stolen from you don’t need to exist. Sure, you’d rather not spend the money, but what you
really need to think about is what you have to lose by not purchasing one. Think of it as an investment in
protecting what you love.

How Much Does a GPS Tracking Device
Cost?
GPS trackers are, by and large, surprisingly inexpensive. Most middle-of-the-road devices can be bought
for between $80 and $100. On the lower end, you’ll pay between $25 and $50. And for the premium
trackers, with all of the different options and features, you’re looking at between $150 and $200. Keep in
mind a couple of things though. First off, you will almost always have to pay some sort of additional
monthly fee for a service plan, which can range anywhere from $5 to $50. And second, you get what you
pay for. The higher tier devices come with a higher price tag because of their additional features and
functionality, which are well worth it depending on what you are planning to use your device for.

What Are The Most Common Features To
Look For?
Depending on the device you choose, there are a ton of different features offered. The question is, which
features do you need? Below is a list of what you should look for when choosing a GPS, including some
of the more common features offered and what they can do for you:
 Battery life: you don’t want your device’s battery dying when you are counting on it to work. If you
need to charge or change the battery every day, you may want to look at other options.
 Accuracy: narrowing down the location of your device to an area the size of 12 football fields isn’t
helping anyone. If you’re buying it to track someone or something, it should be able to locate it to
within a few meters at most.
 Geofencing: this allows you to create a virtual “fence”, and be notified when the device enters or exits
the area within that fence. Great for tracking pets or ensuring your children stay out of a particular
area.
 Panic button: this emergency option will send notifications to preset phone numbers when pressed. A
great one to have if you are using it for your child.
 Speed alerts: allows you to set a maximum speed and be notified if the device is going above that
speed. Perfect for fleet vehicle tracking, or your speed-demon child who just got their license.
 Help and Support: this is important to look at before purchasing. You want to know that if you have
an issue, it will be resolved. Check the company’s website or the feedback on Amazon. Is a warranty
offered? Is there a 1-800 number available for support? How about email support? Another helpful
option is manufacturer’s forums.


Ease of use: the main things to consider are how easy the device is to program/configure, and how
easy the actual tracking of the device is. Many trackers have a companion app or program that can be
quite helpful to this end.

your needs, and performs beautifully. There are a number of features in the Falcon that make it a prime

Falcon will be perfect for you.

Cons: subject to coverage; won’t work everywhere, missing some of the more advanced car-specific
features, no way of monitoring multiple units/vehicles in one place.
