What to Look for in a GPS Tracker: A Buyer’s Guide

Choosing the right GPS tracker can be confusing, but we’re here to make it simple.

Here are the top features and factors to consider before buying:

1. Real-Time Tracking Accuracy

Look for devices that offer accurate, real-time tracking — ideally with GNSS positioning for greater coverage. All Allied Track devices offer 2.5m accuracy.

2. Network Compatibility

Choose 4G LTE-compatible devices for the best coverage. Allied Track’s trackers support 4G.

3. Battery Life or Power Source

Portable trackers like the MagnaTrack range offer long-life rechargeable batteries, while vehicle units are hardwired or plug-and-play.

4. Alerts & Notifications

Essential features include:

• Speed alerts

• Movement alerts

• Geofencing

• Tamper alerts

5. Software & App Support

Make sure your device includes access to a powerful app with mobile + desktop support. Allied Track subscriptions include both.

6. Subscription Costs

Always factor in ongoing data and platform access. Allied Track offers affordable 1, 2, or 3-year plans with multi-device support. You also get your first year's subscription free with every GPS Tracker.
