The tracker has built-in magnets to assist with attaching the tracker to a vehicle, trailer, equipment or asset. The tracker must have direct ‘line of sight’ to the GPS satellites. It must not be placed under or surrounded by metal or electronic equipment which can block GPS and mobile reception.
If GPS reception is obscured, tracking data may not be collected or be inaccurate.
