FAQ

What is a GPS tracker and how does it work?

A GPS tracker is a GPS tracking device that uses satellite signals to determine the exact location of a vehicle, object, or asset. The device sends location data to a mobile app or online platform, allowing users to monitor movement in real-time tracking.

GPS trackers are commonly used for vehicle security, fleet tracking, and asset protection. They allow users to locate their vehicle instantly, receive alerts, and access location history.

Is using a GPS tracker legal in Belgium?

Yes, using a GPS tracker in Belgium is legal when it is used responsibly and in compliance with privacy laws.

You can legally use a GPS tracking device to:

  • Track your own vehicle

  • Protect valuable assets

  • Monitor company vehicles (with employee awareness)

  • Ensure the safety of family members with consent

However, tracking someone without their knowledge or consent may violate privacy laws and regulations such as GDPR.

Trackd promotes legal GPS tracking solutions designed to respect privacy and European regulations.

What can a GPS tracker be used for?

A GPS tracker can be used in many everyday situations. The most common uses include:

  • Vehicle tracking to protect cars against theft

  • Fleet tracking solutions for businesses

  • Tracking motorcycles, scooters, or bicycles

  • Locating valuable objects or equipment

  • Improving vehicle security and asset protection

With real-time GPS tracking, users always know where their vehicle or equipment is located.

Can a GPS tracker help recover a stolen vehicle?

Yes. A vehicle GPS tracker significantly increases the chances of recovering a stolen car.

If a vehicle is stolen, the real-time tracking system allows you to quickly locate its position and share the information with authorities. This can reduce recovery time and help prevent permanent loss.

Many vehicle owners install GPS anti-theft trackers to increase security and peace of mind.

Are GPS trackers easy to install?

Most modern GPS tracking devices are designed for easy installation. Many trackers are compact and wireless, meaning they can be installed in minutes without professional assistance.

Depending on the model, a tracker can be placed inside a vehicle or attached discreetly to an asset.

Trackd GPS trackers are designed to be simple, discreet, and reliable.

Do GPS trackers work in real time?

Yes. Most professional GPS trackers provide real-time location tracking through a mobile application or online dashboard.

This means you can:

  • View the current location of your vehicle

  • Receive movement alerts

  • Monitor travel routes and history

Real-time tracking is especially useful for vehicle security and fleet management.

Are GPS trackers safe and GDPR compliant?

A reliable GPS tracking solution must respect GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) and privacy standards.

This includes:

  • Secure data storage

  • Responsible data collection

  • Transparency regarding tracking use

Trackd promotes GDPR-compliant GPS tracking devices to ensure responsible and ethical use of tracking technology.

What is the difference between personal GPS trackers and fleet tracking solutions?

A personal GPS tracker is typically used by individuals to protect a car, motorcycle, or valuable object.

A fleet tracking solution, on the other hand, is designed for businesses managing multiple vehicles. Fleet tracking systems help companies:

  • Monitor company vehicles

  • Optimize routes

  • Improve operational efficiency

Both solutions rely on the same GPS geolocation technology.

How accurate is a GPS tracker?

Modern GPS geolocation systems provide highly accurate location data. In most cases, a tracker can determine a location within a few meters.

Accuracy may depend on environmental conditions such as buildings, tunnels, or signal interference.

Professional GPS trackers combine satellite positioning and mobile networks to maintain reliable tracking.
