Placing the Spytec GPS GL300 tracker

Placing the Spytec GPS GL300 tracker

Spytec GL300 recommends placing the tracker in a position where it can get maximum access to open sky. This should not be a problem when it’s being carried around and used for tracking people, pets or moving objects.

However if you intend to place the GL300 tracker in vehicles where it is not easily discoverable, there are a couple of points to keep in mind:

  1. Spytec GL300 GPS tracker should never be completely surrounded by metal. Doing so hinders the device’s ability to receive GPS signal.
  2. If you are placing the tracker on the vehicle chassis, make sure the LEDs are facing downwards towards the road.

According to Spytec, the best location to place the tracker in a car or truck is under the front seats. I personally do not recommend placing the tracker in glove box, bumpers, under the hood or in wheel arches because it leads to connectivity issues in most cases.

Spytec GL300 can also be hardwired to your car’s battery. Check out the Spytec GL300 hardwired kit installation guide for more info. Hardwiring a GPS tracker eliminates the requirement to charge the device from time to time. Hardwired GPS trackers are usually installed inside the car’s front dashboard where it is permanently hidden from sight.

SpyTec GL300 Extended Battery Review

SpyTec GL300 Extended Battery Review If you are already an owner of SpyTec GL300 then you might be aware that with normal usage the battery does not last more than 2 weeks. If the environmental conditions and cellular reception is not good then that number can go even down. Fortunately SpyTec gives the option of an extended battery that they claim lasts 6 months. That means you just need to charge it twice a year. Pretty impressive huh? Because of its small size, GL300 includes only 1 AA sized battery which needs to be charged frequently. Every 2 weeks to be precise. That turns out to be 26 times a year. If you are a fleet manager, charging and keeping track of a number of GPS trackers battery levels is going to be one big hassle. This is where Spytec’s 6 months extended battery proves to be incredibly useful. Or if you wish to track a person or an asset as they make a long duration trip around the country, the extended battery is definitely going to be a must. The ...
