Frequently asked questions

Locate2u supports three main device types: OBD2 plug-in trackers for cars and light vehicles, hardwired rugged trackers for trucks and heavy machinery, and battery-powered asset trackers for trailers, containers, and unpowered equipment. All devices use 4G LTE connectivity and integrate directly with the Locate2u dashboard.

You can use both. The Locate2u driver app on iOS and Android provides GPS tracking through the driver's smartphone, which works well for delivery fleets. Dedicated GPS devices are recommended when you need 24/7 tracking, vehicle diagnostics, or asset tracking on unpowered equipment where a phone is not present.

The OBD2 tracker plugs directly into the vehicle's OBD2 diagnostic port in about 30 seconds with no tools or wiring needed. The hardwired tracker is connected to the vehicle's electrical system by a technician and is typically mounted under the dashboard or in the engine bay for covert, tamper-resistant installation.

Locate2u's battery-powered asset tracker offers up to 7 years of battery life when configured for once-daily reporting. With more frequent updates such as four times per day, the battery lasts approximately 4 years. Hourly reporting provides around 2 years of operation. Battery life depends on the selected reporting interval.

Yes. Locate2u GPS devices use 4G LTE Cat-M1 connectivity with global SIM support, allowing them to operate across major cellular networks in multiple countries. This makes them suitable for fleets that cross borders or operate in different regions, with seamless tracking continuity.

OBD2 trackers plug into a vehicle's diagnostic port for instant, tool-free installation and provide both GPS tracking and engine diagnostics. Hardwired trackers are wired directly into the vehicle's electrical system, offering a more covert and tamper-resistant installation with support for additional inputs like door sensors, temperature probes, and PTO monitoring.
