    "Find My Device" gamit ko sa android phone, google base siya.

    Dont buy the cheap gps locator, most of the time walang masagap na gps signal.
    One solution is to buy 4G enabled dash cam, try mo sa AVT, nasa 4-5K ang price.
    Or buy a cheap china smartphone na may internet at gps function and use Find My Device app.
    Or kung may WIFI yung HU mo, buy a pocket wifi, less than 2k, put it in your vehicle and link your HU to the pocket wifi. Use Find My Device app, to locate your HU, you will need a google account for your HU.

    may nakabili and install na sa inyo ng gps tracker with engine cutoff from lazada?

    any feedback if working sya or madaling masira, or may subscription ba?

    thanks!

    It normally needs a SIM card that needs some load so it can send you status reports ...

    nakabili nako ng cheap lang muna to gauge tracking app from sinotrack, mukhang OK naman
    wala sya engine cutoff. will observe and update this thread, di pa nagagamit sa byahe eh
    one thing i noticed, kahit unplugged sya sinsabi may power yung device (CON for me kasi di accurate)

    Question about this.

    Would things like Apple Air Tag or Tile be a worthwhile thing to explore as an alternative given the compactness, you can essentially hide it anywhere as long as you can access it annually for battery replacement

    I am assuming tracking is the main function and not added features like shutoff and monitoring the vehicle's performance realtime

    Not too familiar with these devices din to be honest but na-curious lang din ako how "mature" the ecosystem has become. Curious if it was a possible alternative to gps trackers.

    Apple AirTags Unboxing & Demo! - YouTube

    A video from Marques Brownlee.

    If I understand Apple Airtag Tech correctly, it piggybacks on the "FIND MY DEVICE" technology/system of Apple's ecosystem. But the Airtag emits a bluetooth signal (I think) not a GPS Signal. Any Apple device can serve as a "relay" point to update the "current location" or "last known location" per my understanding.

    So I was curious if this was possible to use din to track vehicles with assigned driver with a workphone. The workphone could just be an old iphone with data and also in your Find My Device ecosystem so you can also track the phone, and the airtag on the assigned vehicle could piggyback on that phone to update present location. I imagine you could just hide the airtag under the passenger seat so it is near enough the "ping" the nearby phone to update location.

    It is still relatively new so I'm not sure if I got the concept correctly din.

    Tile is a more "third party" competitor that works on Android and IOS. But I don't know how robust the "Find my" ecosystem for tile would be here.
