The Ultimate Guide for GPS Trackers
How They Work & Why You Need a Car Tracking System
How Does a GPS Tracker Work?
GPS systems have evolved from simple navigation tools into advanced vehicle tracking systems with security, management, and anti-theft features.
At Entopizo, we provide reliable car tracking system solutions in Athens, as well as phone technical support in Thessaloniki and across Greece.
How Do Car Tracking Systems Work?
GPS tracking devices use technology to determine their location and transmit the data to a receiving device in real time. GPS works by connecting to a network of satellites orbiting the Earth. These satellites continuously send signals containing information about their position and the exact time the signal was sent.
The GPS receives these signals and uses the timestamps to calculate the distance between itself and the satellites. Once the GPS determines its position, it can transmit this data to a receiving device, such as a phone or a computer, via a wireless connection. This allows you to track the device in real time and access location data through a mobile app or an online platform.
In summary, they use a network of satellites to determine their own location and transmit this information to a receiving device, providing real-time tracking capabilities.
Advantages of Installing a Car Tracking System
Enhanced Security & Anti-Theft Protection
GPS provides an additional layer of security, allowing you to track the location of your loved ones, valuable assets, or vehicles in real time. In case of an emergency or theft, you can quickly locate the vehicle and take appropriate action.
On specific models, it is possible to remotely disable the engine.
Enhanced Fleet Management and Professional Monitoring
For businesses managing a fleet of vehicles, Entopizo's car tracking system can significantly improve performance and productivity. By monitoring the location and performance of vehicles, businesses can optimize routes, track driver behavior, and reduce fuel consumption. This results in cost savings and better customer service.
Parental Supervision
By tracking their child's location, parents can have peace of mind knowing where their child is at all times. GPS devices with geofencing capabilities can also send alerts if the child leaves a designated safe zone.
Theft recovery
GPS devices can be lifesaving in case of theft. By tracking the location of stolen items or vehicles, you can provide the information to the police, increasing the chances of recovery. Many insurance companies offer discounts on premiums for vehicles equipped with GPS tracking systems.
Outdoor security
Whether you're hiking, camping, or engaging in other outdoor activities, having a GPS tracker can help you navigate unfamiliar terrain, track your route, and send distress signals in case of an emergency.

How to Choose the Right GPS Tracker
Consider the features and functionalities you need.
Do you need real-time tracking, geofencing capabilities, or additional sensors like fuel level, engine temperature, or door status? Make a list of the essential features and prioritize them when choosing a tracker.
Power Consumption
Depending on the quality of the circuit and the appropriate configurations, power consumption can range from 1mA to 120mA, so it is very important to choose a reputable GPS tracker to avoid numerous problems and unpleasant surprises.
Reliability
The most important feature is reliability. Do not blindly choose a device of questionable origin. The cost difference between reliable and unreliable ones is negligible, while the differences in performance are extremely significant. (For example, a branded device can display in real-time: the number of satellites, GSM signal strength, battery level, and much more, whereas non-branded ones often only display location.)
Connectivity
GPS devices require a wireless connection to transmit location data. Consider the available connectivity options, such as cellular networks or satellite communication, and choose one that provides reliable coverage in your area.
Battery life in case of power loss
There are telematics devices available with built-in batteries ranging from 0 to 20,000 mAh. The larger the battery, the bigger the device, making it harder to conceal effectively to prevent detection and theft. For large vehicles, devices with 170 to 320 mAh are recommended, while for motorcycles, 800 to 1800 mAh is suggested depending on the type.
Waterproofness
When it comes to being installed on vehicles or objects exposed to the environment, it is very important to choose devices with a protection level of IP65 or higher.
User experience
Look for monitoring programs that feature user-friendly "smart" mobile apps or web portals and offer good customer support. The differences between a simple solution and an advanced one are endless. It's worth consulting a specialist and requesting a brief demonstration of the features.
