GPS, which stands for Global Positioning System, is an object-tracking system based on satellite signals. At least that’s what most people understand. This system can determine the position of an object (which is monitored) accurately and in real time. So the position stated (by the system) is the current position. GPS has changed the lives of many people and thanks to it, finding an address is not as difficult as it was more than a decade ago. Users can also book taxis very easily thanks to Uber and similar apps. They all work by basing themselves on the GPS system. Without it, they basically don’t exist.

But is GPS only there to help you find an address? Or just to book a taxi online? Of course not because GPS offers a wider range of functions than that. One of them is significantly increased safety. Yes, significantly! You can locate your car easily but how is that possible? Keep reading!

How it works

A mini GPS tracker, which can be slipped in between vehicle components, can better secure the vehicle. Securing here means that since it is constantly “attached” to the vehicle, the vehicle will not go unnoticed. Why is the vehicle still monitored? Because the small device (the GPS tracker) will always send a signal to the satellite continuously and the satellite sends the signal that has been sent to the server to be processed and from the processing of the signal a “digital display” is obtained which shows the real time coordinates of the object. To repeat, the small device is attached to the vehicle so it can be said that where the device is, that’s where the vehicle is. It’s that simple.

Vehicle theft is a classic problem in our country and from year to year, the number of cases seems to be growing. Fitting a small GPS tracker to a vehicle does not completely eliminate the risk of loss but it is worth noting that it can make stealing a vehicle very difficult. Imagine if you were told to steal a vehicle but the vehicle was monitored at all times by the owner. Also imagine if the owner could set some sort of virtual boundaries on his smartphone, linked to the real-time coordinates of the vehicle, and when the vehicle moved beyond those boundaries, the owner would be notified immediately.

These security features are present in many high-end GPS trackers, such as those released by PAJ GPS, a GPS tracker brand known for its quality and affordable products. PAJ GPS systems have a wide monitoring range, in over 100 countries. In other words, nothing is hidden from the user’s eyes. Its products are set up so that they can be powered by car batteries (9-75V), making them very practical in use.

A mini GPS tracker greatly complicates theft attempts, thereby increasing vehicle security. Installing a mini GPS tracker will not burn a hole in your pocket for example, a mini GPS tracker by PAJ GPS is priced at less than $40. Paying $40 to secure a “thing” worth tens of thousands of dollars or more is certainly a good investment.
