🔬 Our Classification: GPS Trackers by Power & Installation
Not all GPS trackers are created equal. We categorize them by how they're powered and installed — because a plug-and-play device works for a Ford Transit, but a hardwired unit is better for a semi-truck.
OBD-II Plug-and-Play
Plugs into your vehicle's diagnostic port. Easiest setup. Example: Bouncie, Vyncs.
Hardwired / Professional
Connected directly to the vehicle battery. More discreet, more reliable. Example: Samsara, Motive.
Magnetic / Portable
No installation needed. Great for temporary tracking. Example: LandAirSea 54, Optimus.
