The GPS Device Number (1) unit is a small, covert, real-time GPS tracking device.   The device uses an internal cell-phone module to transmit data, and operates off AA batteries for up to 120 days.

The GPS Device Number (1) unit is motion sensitive and begins to gather GPS data when the vehicle starts, and sends the position data over the internet to a server.  The device sends its position every 1, 2, 5, or 10 minutes (you choose the interval).  The data is sent using GPRS data service and a two-way connection is made.  The data is stored on the server and your software will download all data from the server automatically.

GPS Device Number (1) FAQ

Q. What cellular provider does the GPS Device Number (1) use?

A. By default the GPS Device Number (1) unit is programmed with an internal AT&T/Cingular data SIM card.  You can click here for a detailed data coverage map of AT&T/Cingular data availability.

We recommend visiting your local AT&T/Cingular authorized dealer and request a more detailed map of your local area.  Unfortunately, neither company will provide such a map via the internet, or on the phone.

Q. What happens if the GPS Device Number (1) unit doesn’t have cell coverage?

A. Every GPS Device Number (1) unit has a 2,000-position capable internal memory system.   This means that if for any reason your unit cannot transmit the data in real-time (whether for cell coverage, or any other variable) it will store up to 2,000 positions in it’s memory, and then transmit the memory the next time cellular coverage resumes.

2,000 positions is equivalent to unlimited locates per day, for 20 days.  The average GPS Device Number (1) unit checks in about 80 to 100 times per day.  That number could be higher, or lower, depending on how you use the device.

Q. How is the GPS Device Number (1) unit powered?

A. The GPS Device Number (1) unit is powered by 6 AA (double A) batteries.

 Q. What is the estimated battery life for a GPS device Number (1) unit?

A. Battery life is highly affected by the amount of the tracking you would like to do.  If you are tracking a vehicle that does about 2 hours of driving per day you can expect 3+ weeks of battery life.

The GPS device Number (1) unit can operate for up to 120 days off the 6-AA batteries (the more you use the unit, the less battery life you can expect).

Q. How and/or where do I put the GPS device Number (1) unit on a car/item?

A. GPS Device Number (1) unit is equipped with 2 – 25lb magnets on its rear, and since device number 1 only weighs 2lbs, that’s more then enough strength to handle placement either inside OR outside a vehicle.

The GPS device Number (1) unit is motion-activated, so the most important aspect of installation is placement of the base (black box).  You want to be sure wherever you mount the unit, it will be able to feel the vehicle moving (vibration) – preferably something attached directly to the frame.
