Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Not to sound like a broken record, but I was a tad skeptical at the claims this company made as well as the reviews as I couldn't see it being that simple and affordable. I just bought my 6th unit as these things have become the most valuable tools in my arsenal of asset recovery. Hands down. These are great and rest assured you will not be disappointed (well, with the product at least, however finding out the truth about a trusted person in your life may be an entirely different story) but I digress - Units are easy to install, easy to activate, easy to charge and the software is easy to navigate through. The tracking software uses google maps so if you have ever used google maps it will be very familiar. The dimensions are indicated but to put in perspective think a small lens cap (say for 55mm lens) or shrunken hockey puck for a visual. Sorry for the bad analogy but they do remind me of that of a shrunken hockey put, so much that we no simply refer to them as 'pucks' - Strong, durable, water proof with the charger port rubber seal put back in place and so far weather proof. The built in magnetic base is like that of a magnetic mount CB antenna base that you would use to stick on you car roof or trunk. Very strong and holds up to highway speeds and all the vibration a car is subject to on a commute (if it holds up on Los Angeles freeways and the poor roadway conditions it should be good to go anywhere in the 50/USA) - Just mount anywhere under the car where there is a flat and smooth metal surface where you can mount it in a spot that isn't obvious but also a place where you can retrieve easily and quickly later on. That of course is me assuming everyone would be using these to track vehicle movements. Ideally you would want to place the unit inside the car in a hidden spot but since that is not always possible, under the car is the next best thing. There are a million uses for these and limited only by a person's imagination. It will broadcast it's location from wherever it is. Backpacks, purses, cars, coolers, any vehicles, large equipment, generators, pockets, packages, furniture, watercraft, if you can mount it on or include it in, it will go. I use them to combat cargo/package theft and they have paid for themselves within the first week. From residential to full scale industry, stick one in a package and let the thieves tell you their story, for once they take a box, the tracker tells you all about their day and also gives you their location. It's great to knock on someone's door and politely listen to the protests of guilty pillaging people and then show them the map data that shows their travels with your package has ended up at their place. As for using to catch a cheating partner. It will do that, quite well. However to echo the statements made by other reviewers, be forewarned that you may find out that everything you thought you knew was actually a ton of crap. I've seen people's lives derailed by using these when they find out that their spouse of 15+ years who they never thought of as being anything but faithful was actually the opposite. Adding to this nightmare was the fact that the act was also being committed with a life long trusted friend. Can you handle a betrayal like that? I don't know. I think there are some things that a person may not need to know but at the same time the truth needs to be exposed. Just something to think of. Monitoring or tracking service comes with several options. I believe it starts out at 24.95 per month for updates every 60 seconds. Next is a 30 second, and I believe there is one more option avail before the highest service which is constant update feed. That is the one that will eat the battery the most because the units are motion activated and start broadcasting when they sense movement. If you subscribe to a constant update service then the battery will die faster as the unit is constantly updating and broadcasting it's location. The less you want or need it to update the longer the battery will last. I pay for the 30 second update so it gives me an update 2x a minute which is fine and when using on a vehicle the battery gives me almost a week or just over based upon 2 45 minute commutes on vehicle per day 5 days a week. Battery life is actually quite good but it's life will depend on the duration and frequency of use + the subscription you choose. The unit doesn't start using battery power until it senses movement so as that varies so will the life of the battery. PROS: See above CONS: You might have to do some crawling under a car to mount if you don't have the option of placing in car. Might be unnerving to some folks. No alert if the unit were to fall off the car (never had that problem but if it did fall off or was REMOVED you wouldn't know it until you went to retrieve it. Wish there was something to alert a user) - Subsription is for one unit only. No multi unit discount at this time. If you use 4 units you will pay for 4 different subscriptions. Another issue I wish they would consider. Especially when one might buy 2 units so they can alternate and switch out a unit with a freshly charged unit. You might only use one at a time but in order to keep up a constant tracking history you would need to have 2 units and you will be required to pay for 2 separate subscriptions. And finally, again a big con is finding out the truth to a big lie someone might be leading and living. The truth can and does hurt so that is something to consider before setting out to obtain it.
