Getting GPS Location 

GPS Coordinates & Speed 

 

Send an SMS with “

WHERE#

” 

 

The GPS will reply with an SMS containing the location of the vehicle in GPS coordinates, current 
speed and the time. 
This function is very useful to know if your car is moving at the current time. You can use it in 
conjunction with the next Google Maps command to firstly know the speed, and once it is 
stopped, check the location. 
 

GPS Google Maps Link 

 

Send an SMS with “

URL#

” 

 

The GPS will reply with an SMS containing a Google Maps link showing the current position of 
your vehicle.  

 

GPS Modes & Functions 

The GPS Tracker has two modes, Tracking mode, and Monitoring mode. When you dial the GPS unit 
from one of the SOS numbers, it will ring for approximately 10 seconds and then enter monitoring 
mode, connecting you to the microphone in the car so you can listen in! 
 

Tracking Mode 

 

This is the default mode of the GPS Tracker when it is setup and remains the default even if you 
activate Monitoring Mode from an SOS number. 

Simply send another SMS to the unit after using Monitoring Mode and it will respond as normal. 
 

Monitor Mode 

 

Monitor mode allows you to utilise the microphone function of the GPS. If you are in a situation 
where the car has been stolen, active the voice recorder on your mobile before calling and this 
will enable you to record the audio (works on most phones, but some may require an app) 

 

Call the GPS unit from a registered SOS number. 

 

It will ring for approximately 10 seconds just like a normal phone and then enter listening mode 
using the microphone. 
If the GPS continues to ring and goes to voicemail or disconnects, this may indicate that the 
number you are calling from is not a registered SOS number. Use the SOS setup commands to 
ensure you are registered. 

Note:

 The SIM Card in the phone calling the GPS Unit must have Called ID enables and cannot be 

a Private Number.
