Is "GPS Tracker" Written On The Shipping Packaging?
Absolutely not. We deeply understand the importance of privacy, especially when it comes to sensitive items like tracking devices. Our packaging is intentionally designed to be inconspicuous. You won’t find words like “GPS tracking” or “surveillance” on the outside. Moreover, to further ensure discretion, we often use Amazon packaging, a common and unassuming choice, to keep your purchase under wraps. Your privacy and trust are paramount to us, and our packaging reflects that commitment.
How Far Will My GPS Tracker Work?
Our GPS trackers give you real-time data across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. Oh, and over 150 other countries - we just don't ship outside North America! Just keep in mind, they need cellular coverage to send that location info. Even if the tracker picks up a GPS signal, it won’t be able to share its position without a cell connection.
Where Are The Best Spots To Hide My GPS Tracking Device?
All of our GPS tracking products were designed to be used covertly, including placement under the car! In fact, our magnetic GPS trackers can even pick up GPS signals reflecting off the ground! That means our tracking devices offer discreet placement, both within and outside vehicles. Some of the best covert spots include:
- Inside The Dashboard: A classic hiding spot that provides protection and is out of sight.
- Within or Beneath Seats: Particularly under the passenger seat or rear seats.
- Inside The Bumper: Especially for those trackers that are water-resistant.
- Under The Car: Out of sight from the driver, and can pick up GPS signals that reflect off the ground.
- Within the Spare Tire Compartment: Especially if your car has an internal compartment for this.
Remember, the key is ensuring the tracker has the least obstruction while still being hidden. For a more comprehensive guide on the best hiding spots, please click here.
Can My GPS Tracker Be Traced Back To Me If Found?
Nope, we take your privacy seriously. We don’t share customer info or personal details. Each tracker is tied to a serial number, not your name, so if someone finds it, they won’t be able to trace it back to you. Your anonymity stays protected.

I Lost My Power Key For My SpaceHawk. Can Another Item Be Used To Turn The GPS On or Off?
No, it’s advised to use only the provided tool to power your SpaceHawk on or off. Utilizing foreign objects risks damaging the tracker’s internal parts if pushed too deep. Such damages are NOT covered under warranty. If you’ve lost the key, replacement accessory kits containing a new key are available for purchase on the manufacturer’s website.
How Can I Tell If My GPS Tracker Is Completely Charged?
When you plug it in, you’ll see a solid red light near the charge port. That steady red light means the tracker’s still charging. Once the light goes off, it’s fully charged and good to go.
How Long Is The Travel History Data Available?
You can check your GPS tracker’s travel history for up to a year. After that, older data might not be available. We recommend downloading any reports or data you’ll need to keep on hand, so you’ve always got access to the information that matters for your business.
Why Isn't My Device Updating Its Location On The Map?
Several factors can impact the device’s updates:
- GPS Signal Interference: Objects like trees, buildings, or certain weather conditions can disrupt GPS signals.
- Metal Interference: Placing the device in metal-dominated surroundings, like a car’s trunk, might hinder signal reception.
- Software-Server Link: Remember, the device sends data to our servers, which is then reflected in the app. The app isn’t the issue; it’s the transmission of data that might be interrupted.
If your real time GPS tracker isn’t updating, first try repositioning the device. Also, power down the tracker. If the problem persists, reach out to us at sales@fleet1st.io for dedicated support.
Can I View Multiple Vehicles On One Account?
Absolutely! You can manage multiple devices under one account. Each tracker will need its own activation and data plan, but you’ll be able to monitor up to 100 vehicles at once. Whether you’re keeping an eye on a few company cars or managing a big fleet, it’s a great fit for businesses of any size.
Is It Possible To Remotely Wake Up Or Reboot My Tracker?
Nope, we can’t trigger an update remotely. These trackers only connect when they detect movement—unless you’ve got it set to Energy Saving mode. If you’re running into any tracking trouble, give our tech support team a call. They’re happy to walk you through it and get things sorted out.
