Compact personal GPS device recommendation
I've tested this one as working: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Vjoycar-New-Arrivals-LED-Light-T80_1600072337193.html
if you are in Canada or Aus: https://www.gpyes.com.au/product/gpyes-mini-gps-tracking-device
Thank you a lot! I've ordered the same. What is the protocol? I cannot find it in the list of devices.
Cant remember protocol, but the port is 5002.
Here's my cheat sheet for setting them up
Set APN to testing sim. Telstra if you are using Telstra SIM
*apn*yourAPN*
nb. You wont be able to call the device even when its fully charged
Set IP address
*hostset*traccarServerIP:5002*
Set Master Phone number
The tracker will only respond to commands from this number
*master*123456*+areacodeMobilenumber*
Set UTC time to Sydney/Australia (or wherever you are)
*timezone*10*
Turn off all alerts
*keylong*000*
*alertoff*
set route track function to always be on (99)
*routetrack*99*
get current location every 60 seconds
*rsampling*60*
upload current location every 60 seconds
*rupload*60*
upload regardless of whether in motion every 12 hours.
*check*12*
Get IMEI/Tracker identifier so you can add to traccar web interface. (pay attention to capital I (i) below.. i think its case sensitive)
Imei
Add device to traccar
You will use the IMEI number as the device identifier from the above step
Eg. 864768012507768
Great! Thanks again. It would be good to have a wiki here to keep cheat sheets like this. Very valuable!
So I have received that T80 tracker and it works as per instruction you posted. Protocol is detected as tk103.
It works pretty well, except that I don't see the battery information.
I can't remember ever checking the battery. Check the logs?
There is nothing about battery in the log. Traccar client, which sends battery info, has exactly the same log entries, just time and coordinates, speed, course.
Suddenly I've started to see battery level... Nothing changed in device setup. Just added it to gefence, restarted server... but it was a day ago and I've got battery details just now...
Is it possible that device sends different messages ? I've seen in the log hexes of different length.
Just checked in the report, it sends battery info every 10 minutes, while coordinates are sent every minute.
Made as instructed, the T80 responded nicely, but the Traccar Client was not receiving the data. I set the device identification number in the client as IMEI T80. I also tried a shortened IMEI of 11 digits with a zero at the beginning. My URL is http://demo3.traccar.org:5002. I also tried port 5055. Where is my mistake?
Problem solved. I have not been properly registered.
Hello,
Could you recommend a small GPS tracker that will work with traccar? I've randomly tried different items from compatibility list and all of them are big industrial/OBD tracker. And ebay is full of small cheap devices labled GF-06, GF-07 etc. Has anybody any experience with those?
