A GPS tracking system can mean a hardware product or a software solution. Some vendors offer a combination of both hardware and software solutions in a package. The product may or may not require regular subscription. Check this detail carefully because you will have to pay regularly when using some types of tracking devices. Some plans can prove expensive for not so critical assets. Compact GPS trackers are now used extensively to track different types of assets like vehicles, heavy machinery, equipment and others. It is also used to track children, elderly and pets.
Most devices in this range can be purchased for $20-$40. It does not include the monthly subscription charge. There may be activation and cancellation fees. The monthly service charge will depend on the update interval. For example, a service plan giving updates every 5-second will cost higher compared to the plan that gives updates every 30-second. The device itself is rugged and designed to withstand normal impact, vibration and environmental conditions. Attach it to the asset you want to track. Once it is activated, you can start tracking your asset through a computer or smartphone.
