Gps Based Vehicle Location Tracking System

This device has worked great so far the gps was dead on , and the tracking was too. It is perfect for my wife as she can see my exact location, mine is set to every two hours it sends her my location. The texting is great too the last trip my side x side broke down probably 15 miles from cell service. I was able to message her via the inreach and it saved a long walk . Messages between us also show my location. It’s definitely a game changer when out solo for multiple days to long hunting trips with zero cellphone signal ..

Purchased two of these working very well but have an issue with gps location not working on one

So glad it has a sound device and location tracking!

I have been wanting a watch with gps tracking because I’m getting into hiking. I enjoy the features of the connect app and the Garmin Instinct.

The first time i use this product i was not expect much out of it but after i use the first time i am in love with this GPS it show all the location i have been on the map.

This is my third vehicle Garmin. Beats other products based on its reliability and ease of use. My built-in vehicle GPS mapping software has produced errors from time to time. Unfortunately, these errors have resulted in some troubling recommendations. I can rely on Garmin to double-check the vehicle mapping unit. When in doubt, the Garmin is my gold-standard.

I got this for travel photography to use with my 5D Mark III. I've got an eye-fi that does WIFI-based geotagging, but needed something that works anywhere, even remote travel locations not near any WIFI. This GPS unit does the job anywhere. If you go into a tunnel, cave, etc, it will use the last known location, which is good enough for those rare cases. Your photos will have GPS in them, which is good for map-based photo apps, filling the Gap where DSLR's have fallen through compared to smartphone gps tagging. Overall simple to use, and simple to setup on first use in native 5D Mark III camera menus. My only complaint is that it is slightly large, sitting in the hot shoe on top of the camera. If you're using a 5D with a 24-70mm lens, you already have a big enough camera, and this just adds to it. But after the initial size shock, it works fine and molds well with the camera. AA battery lasts a long time (at least a week or 500 pictures), and you can set the GPS poll interval to many levels from every second to upwards of once every 10 minutes. I had it at 1 min, and once left it on overnight by mistake, only to find the battery dead in the morning. Would be nice if it had an auto-shut off or power activated by the camera's on/off state. Built well, sturdy, fits solid to camera. Not worried about damaging or scratching it all. Matches the camera body well, despite size.

I kept a slim inside my wallet, which was stolen from my vehicle one morning. I had marked it as lost and a community member had found its location nearby my house. I went there and searched until I found a signal. I followed the chime and found my wallet with all of my IDs in a bush. The tile literally saved me. I would have never found the wallet without it.

Many times I travel to locations not served by cell towers -- thus my phone is no longer capable of GPS geotagging. Satellite service is still available so this device works flawlessly. The EOS R works very well with GP-E2 with a minor exception - the direction is not recorded in the EXIF (no big deal, all I want is location!) The "Map Utility" may be hard to download since the website does not yet support the very latest versions of Mac OS -- just over-ride the OS version to the previous (supported) version! The GPS log function works as advertised, just be aware that the output is in Google Maps format Lightroom uses the more common GPX format but there are web based converters. With these logs, you might be able to geotag your phone pictures as well in non-Canon software. If you want GPS location info, this is far better than trying to cut from phone images and paste into Canon images.

I hesitated between the AirTag and a GPS tracker to have an exact location of my luggage after all the news channels were reporting the catastrophes of travelling summer 2022 (by the way nothing happened after 6 different flights). After all the online videos and reports of how well the AirTag works, I was convinced to buy and try. Any GPS tracker would need an extra monthly subscription. The AirTag does not have any extra fees and the location find was always working even across the Atlantic ocean. So far, so good.
