GPS Tracking Advanced Functions 

The GPS Tracker has the ability to communicate with a server so that you can view and tracker your 
vehicle via an online portal. This function can be used with many different online tracking portals as they 
all function in essentially the same way – the device sends data to the server which receives it and plots 
it on a map for you to see. 

There are many free online GPS tracking websites as well as mobile apps. They all work in the same way, 
where the GPS sends waypoints to the server configured and the server plots them on a map for you to 
view. It is up to you as to which service you prefer to use. A quick Google search will return a number of 
the free sites. 

Note:

 If you use this function you will require data on your PrePaid plan. If you want to use live tracking, 

you should test for a short period to understand how much data you are likely to use, then select a plan 
with a suitable data limit.  
We generally do not use this function for single vehicles, because although it’s fun to look at it in a map, 
we figure if it goes missing, you can just SMS it to know where it is.  

Depending on the server you want to use, they will usually supply you with the APN, IP and Port settings 
required to connect to their server. If they do not provide these, please contact them so you can ensure 
you are using the correct settings on the GPS unit. 

Please send us an email at 

[email protected]

 if you wish to use our tracking platform. We will 

create an account for you and send you some instructions on how to connect to it and monitor your 
vehicle. Use of the tracking platform is free for 12 months from GPS Tracker activation.

MODE Options 

o

 

1 = Turn GPRS on 

o

 

0 = Turn GPRS off 

 

Setting APN 

 

The APN will differ depending on which mobile network your SIM Card is registered to and may 
or may not require a password. If using a Telstra SIM, the APN will default to the Telstra APN. 

 

If you need to change the APN, you can do this via SMS command. 

 

Send an SMS with “

APN,APNNAME#

” (eg APN,apn.telstra#) – Note a Username and Password 

was not used. Most public APNs don’t require these so they may not be required. 

o

 

To set an APN that requires a username and password send and SMS with 
“APN,APNNAME,USERNAME,PASSWORD#” (eg. APN,apn.telstra,abc123,123456)
