What are the common problems and solutions when using car GPS trackers?




Many users in the logistics industry always encounter various problems when using GPS locators. Today we will discuss the GPS tracker after the normal installation. What common problems will you encounter during the use phase?

Question 1: The vehicle was determined to be ok, but the GPS tracker was found to be offline the next day. And this car is not used by outsiders, but by an old company driver. In principle, there will be no different problems. Why is the GPS tracker offline?

Answer: When the GPS is offline, it has been indicated that the GPS is not working or not working. Why is the GPS offline? First of all, whether the data card has expired and needs to be renewed. Secondly, we need to see whether the device is connected to the vehicle's normal power line. If the locator is not connected to the normal power line, the vehicle may fail to work due to power outage after the vehicle is turned off. There is also a more common situation, that is, when the car drives into the underground garage, the signal is weak and the data connection between the device and the platform is not available and the offline generated.

Problem 2: In the process of replaying the trajectory of the target vehicle, it is found that the target vehicle is normal and sometimes disconnected, or the driving route becomes a straight line.

Answer: This kind of situation must be checked from the installation, especially when the GPS locator is in a metal shell or the upper layer of the device is metal, the GPS locator will not be positioned. The principle is that the metal will reflect the GPS signal. And communication signals. Secondly, the installation point of the GPS locator is close to the engine, and the GPS will automatically enter the stop sleep state and cannot be online.

After encountering the corresponding problems of the GPS locator, you can first check whether the installation meets the specifications. If everything is normal, you need to report the problem to the supplier of the GPS locator, and their technicians will help you deal with it.
