Car GPS Trackers

The alternatives

Other contenders

• Optimus 3.0 GPS Tracker

  Choose the Optimus 3.0 for a vehicle or asset that needs a tracker with its own rechargeable battery and email or SMS movement and geofence alerts.²³ Optimus needs charging and a monthly subscription; the standalone package excludes the magnetic case.²⁴

Buying advice

• Choose the power connection first: Bouncie uses the OBD-II port, while Optimus has a rechargeable operating battery.¹²
• Optimus defaults to one-minute reports while moving, with an optional upgrade to every 10 seconds.³
• Both choices require a subscription; choose push notifications on Bouncie or email and SMS on Optimus according to how you want alerts delivered.¹³⁴
• Check that the vehicle’s port can power your chosen plug-in tracker and that its tracking service covers where you will use it.¹⁴

For trailers and assets with no power of their own

The Optimus 3.0 supplies its own rechargeable power and sends email or SMS movement and geofence alerts, so it suits an asset that cannot power a tracker itself.²³
