I wanted to wait and see how this device works before writing a review. This GPS was purchased in November 2023 for my food trailer and I activated (which was easy to do) in January 2023. As of right now, I have not been disappointed at all. Whenever the trailer moves, my husband and I gets email and text notifications (that’s how we set it up). If fully charged, it can last for two weeks. I have recommended this device to many other food trucker. I pay $19 a month, but it’s worth it especially since my trailer was stolen and I had air tags, but it was removed and it took weeks before I was able to find my trailer.

I needed a device for peace of mind to help track family while they are on their daily walks. This device works perfectly for those needs.Comparison to google maps location sharing: giving Google maps a shot made the most sense. Free, existing technology. However, it’s also terribly unreliable. There are huge gaps in time (hours) when the app might refresh to give an accurate location.Comparison to Jiobit, the new competitor with lots of marketing hype behind it: I like the design but that is just about all. It has curved edges and has the shape of car key alarm that would fit neatly into the palm of your hand.They have LOTS of positive testimonials from both tech and parent reviewers. BUT do yourself a favor and read the fine print from actual buyers. A lot of people complained in particular about the billing.The Jiobit subscription appears to be permanent, as in forever! You cannot cancel independently; you have to do so via email. And when you do, your device will stop working entirely, no chance of signing back on at a later date. Goodbye $130. The only way to keep using your device to keep paying for it.That’s when I changed my keyword search to something more simple, “GPS tracking device.“ There are a lot of results that pop up. Plenty of them are very old-school, clunky, ugly-looking, outdated technologies. Among them, you’ll also see very odd pricing structures... for example, if you want to see more frequent/accurate location updates, you have to pay more, up to $30-40+ monthly.After doing a lot of sifting, I settled on the Optimus tracker. No regrets at all.Pros:• Not a bad looking device. Very simple. Has a couple LED lights to let you know it’s working or charging.• Excellent battery life - in my case, it will run for a week before going to about 50%.• Has web based map as well as app based.• Mobile phone app is simple, intuitive, and well designed.• App will allow the creation of multiple Geo fences.• App has the ability to send text notifications to multiple phone numbers.• Device and app will allow you to choose the frequency of the location updates ranging from 10 minutes all the way down to 10 seconds… At no extra cost. (Although, the battery will drain faster at the smaller intervals.)• Cancel any time you want! Restart your subscription anytime you want. $19/month at the time of this review.• The price of the product is less than a quarter of what people are paying to get ripped off by Jiobit.If I had any wishes, it might be that the device was a little bit smaller. As it is, it has the appearance and size of a tiny remote control. But given all of the advantages mentioned above, that’stotally fine.I would recommend this!

The Tracker - small, compact, smaller than a bar of soap. I use this tracker on my motorcycle...One cool feature is the ‘Movement’ alert. When I turn the motorcycle on - the device ‘pings’ my phone saying there’s movement.GeoFence - this device (along with the mobile app) allows you to set ‘geographical’ borders. I use this to border out my neighbor block. So when my motorcycle comes in or out of that fence then I get an alert.The App - pretty cool app. The main screen shows you the tracker position on a map. Tracker refresh is about every 30 seconds. There’s a ‘navigate to’ feature that when you click on it - it opens your default navigator and directs you to it.Battery life - I’ve owned this device for about three weeks now and so far I’ve charged it about three times (so approximate once per week).The Bad - the tracker isn’t 100% accurate. I’ve gotten alerts saying the tracker is outside of my GeoFence. Meaning the tracker is over on the next block or across the street somewhere. The first time this happened I jumped out of bed to check on my bike in the middle of the night. I’ve had one issue where the tracker completed stopped working, basically the tracker wasn’t responding. It took about one hour for the tracker to regain signal. Tech support said it lost its connection with the ‘cell service.’ But shout out to the tech support team the are available 24/7 directly from the app.Cost $20/month
