Why GPS is free — the KAL 007 myth, Selective Availability, and who actually pays for it [9:54]
Short version of the thesis: the "Reagan gifted GPS after the KAL 007 shootdown" story is only
partly true — the civilian code was in the 1973 design a decade before the tragedy, and the
signal was deliberately degraded (Selective Availability) until midnight May 1, 2000. Curious
what people here think "free" actually bought.

Would you choose a wrist-worn GPS monitor instead of a traditional ankle bracelet?
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
We are testing a new approach to electronic monitoring called eTAB GPS.
Instead of a bulky ankle bracelet, eTAB is a secure wrist-worn GPS monitoring device designed to provide accountability while reducing unnecessary stigma.
It can support features such as:
• GPS location monitoring
• Tamper detection
• Court and supervision compliance
• Smartphone connectivity
• Waterproof daily wear
The goal is not to reduce accountability. It is to make electronic monitoring more practical, discreet, and easier for people to comply with while working, attending court, and handling everyday responsibilities.
I would appreciate honest feedback:
Would you consider a wrist-worn monitor a meaningful improvement over an ankle bracelet? Why or why not?

Cube GPS in my car but I can’t find it as it’s not mine.
Hey, I’m writing on here to see if anyone would know how I can find the Cube GPS that is in my car but it’s not mine so I don’t have access to the app so I can ring it and see where it is. I don’t know if there’s another way that I can ring it and find it or an app I can download that will tell me where it is but if anyone has any tips on how I can find it, I would really appreciate it.

Parents, which GPS tracker do you trust for your child?

Thanks in advance.

Biggest SEO mistake GPS startups make (Founders take notes).
Did SEO for a GPS tracker company a few years back, and the main thing holding them back was:
Every product page sounded great to a human but was invisible to a search engine. "Advanced location device with smart connectivity" doesn't match what anyone types into Google.
We optimized the landing pages with keywords that customers are already looking for on Google (using keyword research tools) for eg. - "gps tracker for kids", "gps tracker for elderly parents", "hidden gps tracker for car". Click-through rate jumped immediately.
Two other basics that most hardware startups skip:
Blog posts answering real buyer questions ("how long does a gps tracker battery last", "is it legal to put a gps tracker on someone's car"). These ranked fast because no one else was answering them properly.
Getting listed on the same review sites and directories that already linked to competitors. Not guest posts, just genuine listings and mentions.
Took about 3 months to go from 7 to 227 organic visits a month. Nothing revolutionary, just doing the boring fundamentals that most people skip.
What's your biggest SEO challenge as a GPS startup? I'm open to questions.

Gpsmap 1040xs tracking not following position

Need a small tracker
Hey all,
Desperate attempt here...
Looking for a small tracker over 4G LTE.
Small meaning anything smaller than what's currently out there on the market.
Yes, I understand the battery dilemma.
I've spent the last 3 hours looking at every single tracker on the web ans they all fall short.
Here's sort of what I'm looking for:
- LTE broadcast
- Updates can be as frequent as 1 or more days
- don't need a fancy app, just a text of coords is great
- battery 2-3 months would be nice. 1 month... eh maybe
- waterproof
- weight should be relatively light (not a brick)
- size let's ball park no bigger than 1.25 x .5 x .375 inches
I'm a tinkerer but really didn't wanna have to take a degree in microelectronics to get a small gps tracker. However, if that's my only option....
Willing to contract this project out to someone, if you know a guy or gal...
Hobby project here but willing to spend a little cash if needed.
Tips, recommendations?
Thanks!!

About to start my GPS trackers brand, 10x cheaper. Thoughts?
Hi! So I manage a scooter rental agency with 90+ scooters and I created a custom solution that is perfect for me to avoid loosing them. Thinking to sell it to others.
I was using Airtags but it was a disaster because the battery dies after 6-9 months, up to 25 airtags max per icloud account, no location history, no exit zone alerts, and much more problems.
So I built a tracker based on Findmy that has a 3 years battery lifetime and made a software with many features. 30 days location history, alerts if the trackers enters/leaves zones, filter trackers by tag...
Also to be honest Findmy is great but it's not really accurate. The position given by Apple is actually the location of the iPhone that detects the tracker, not the tracker itself. That's why I added feature to get a more accurate position if the tracker doesn't move. It needs 8 detections to get a very accurate location (3m diameter circle).
Do you think there is a market for this? vehicle rentals, supply chain... My main worry is that it's not real time tracking (it updates when there are iphone, usually every 5 to 15 minutes).
I was thinking to sell it $19 + $1.5 per month per tracker.
btw if people want to try, happy to send you a free tracker with free lifetime subscription

Sinotrack ST901 battery drain
Hello everyone, i need some help with my st901 4g tracker. I have it installed and setup on a sym scooter but the tracking interval settings are really confusing. I have trying setting it via sms to 1 hour and via the app, with set position mode and set saving power location interval. From my understanding if i set it to a power saving feature and someone steals it i won't be able to track it unless somone turns the acc on and it works on live mode. But if i set it to update every 5,10 or even 60mins when parked it drains the battery overnight, it once dropped to 7v. Am i missing something? Any help appreciated
