Summary

GPSOnIt is a service providing real time GPS based location tracking for everything you care about. There are many options from in-vehicle devices, wearable devices, worldwide pocket satellite devices, to tracking your own smart-phone. No matter which type you choose, or if you choose multiple types, GPSOnIt provides access to all of these in one place.

Tracking isn't just for companies with lots of vehicles.
Families have many tracking needs. Multiple cars, motorcycles, perhaps a boat or RV, and most importantly, family members. Some family members may have functional needs, such as those in the Autism Spectrum or suffering from Alzheimer's disease, and may wander, or become lost and disoriented, even while visiting familiar places. With a discreet device from GPSOnIt, you can easily locate them when needed.

Important Information

GPSOnIt believes customers can make the best decisions by providing them factual information. These are some of our more often asked questions. If you have other questions, please feel free to email us.

Where can I use this?
Devices known as GPS trackers are really receivers that record and calculate location information received from a satellite.
Active trackers include communication devices, such as a 'mini' cell phone, that then transmit the information to a service such as GPSOnIt.com
There are two factors to understand when considering using such a device:

  1. GPS satellite reception:
    To determine a position, the device must be able to 'hear' from a satellite. Being inside a large parking structure, or an underground garage, or even in a home garage or building, can interfere with reception.
    The effect can be no location information or 'drift' where a location is close, but off a bit.
  2. Communication coverage:
    Just as with any cell phone, coverage or reception, can vary depending on where you are. With tracking devices, it is possible that the device is currently out of signal, but is in fact receiving and recording GPS data. When the device returns to cell phone coverage, the position information will be sent. This is similar to text messages and emails being delivered once a cell phone has reentered a coverage area.
    When a device reenters coverage area, it will send all perviously unsent location reports. This information will be added to the device history, and any alerts or notifications that are triggered will also be sent out.
GPSOnIt does not manufacture tracking devices. We only sell devices that we have personally tested and verified as being fully functional and appropriate for the intended use.
If you already have your own device that you would like to use, please send us make / model information, so we can determine if we are able to support it.

If you do not have an account, please visit our store to find the perfect device for your needs.
