 Excellent System at Low Cost Jun 25, 2007
By financialrelocationist
I was really suspicious when I went GPS shopping, because I'd heard so many problems about metal blocking signals and so forth. I put the tracking key through all kinds of tests in my van, hiding it upside down under the seat, inside the dash, stashing it back inside the compartment for the jack, surrounding it with metal and pointing it in all different directions (it recommends you keep it upright, but I found it doesn't make a difference, this thing still works perfectly!). It's only disadvantage is that as a data logger, you have to retrieve it before you get the tracking info to download to your computer. The battery lasted me about two weeks of regular driving, though, so it more than compensated. But yeah, as a first time buyer of a tracking device and thorough tester, I was highly impressed. It shows on an overhead map (adjustable to satellite images with Google Earth!) the exact path the vehicle took, or an animated time-clocked journey, showing where it went, how long it stopped, when it took off again. No matter how deeply I hid it in the car, it never lost my signal once. Shop around a little bit to avoid overcharging companies, and you might want to wrap a piece of black electrical tape on the green battery light on the outside of the case for better hiding. Definitely an excellent buy, I'd recommend it to anyone with covert tracking needs.

 Not Ready For Primetime Feb 27, 2009
By F64
First, let me identify my goals for this Tracking Key. We run a service business. We have a need to recapture the routes the vehicles have traveled for the day, what stops were made(addresses), how long those stops lasted, and the exact time of the arrivals and departures.
Also, we wanted to view the route on a map to identify instances of getting lost, and have a printed report of the stops and times for the day.
On the first day we clipped this unit under the seat of the car. When we downloaded the data for that day, it only showed 3 of the 6 stops made, and there was no accounting at all for about 3 hours of time.
Thinking it might be a placement issue, the next day we placed it on top of the dash, in plain sight, where the instructions said it would get it's optimum satellite signal. It still took almost 10 minutes to acquire a GPS signal to begin tracking once movement began.
The unit is not sensitive enough to awaken within the first few feet of movement, and takes much too much time to acquire a GPS signal, making it impossible to recapture continuous data.
Other design issues are lack of an on/off switch so the unit is always on, draining the batteries. The manufacturer says the unit goes to low power mode when not moving but see my comment about that feature. Also, to change the batteries, you must remove 4 super small screws. This will lead to stripped screws in short order. There needs to be a latch device instead.
We are sending it back for a refund.

 Item works well for the price Aug 02, 2008
By Sam P.
I received this Tracking device 2 weeks ago. I wanted something that was inexpensive and I did not have the need for a subscription based product. I have access to the device daily. I put it inside the vehicle where it does not have metal overhead as indicated for best reception. On one of the reviews I read that the batteries are not lasting but one or two days for the reviewer. My experience over the last two weeks is very different. I am using a cheap alkaline Walgreens brand battery and just changed it today after 13 days. The low battery indicator was not activated but I felt it was time to change it just in case. The Past Track software that comes with it is not the greatest but it works. It also works well with Google Earth. There are a few different settings that can be customized for viewing and individual dates of tracking. As stated by the other review it does not show a brief stop as a listed stop, but once you see it in action it is easy to know if a stop was made. You also know for how long it was even though brief. You can even play a moving diagram of the vehicles movement and watch the clock at the same time. Over all if you need a device that you are able to access for downloading this is the one to get. I did a lot of research and reading for the different passive devices and this one comes out to be the best for the job it does. I have seen the prices are all over the board at retailers and the internet and 199.00 seems the lowest so far. I hope this is helpful to someone.

Works great, somewhat awkward to use Jun 22, 2008
By Roger Edwards
Although I plan to use this device to keep track of my soon-to-be-driving teenager's whereabouts, my first crack at it was during my own storm chasing activities -- deliberate self-surveillance. Outside our "day" jobs, my wife and I are professional photographers (www.insojourn.com) as well as storm observers, and have desired for years to have a simple and easy way to mark very specifically the locations and times of all our storm intercept activities, as well as our photography stops. This does the trick.
It seems you will need to be still for more than about 5-7 minutes for the output to show a stop, but because of two factors, we still get useful output, even for quick "pull-outs" to photograph a storm under potentially dangerous conditions:
1. High spatial resolution: Pulling safely off the highway, as storm chasers are supposed to do when performing photography, shows up on the tracking at highest (2.5 m) resolution as a knob or bump on the path.
2. High temporal resolution: The raw (.las) log file shows the times and locations, so one can see when one was stopped even for brief "stop-n-shoot-fast" situations.
The same concept can apply if you're monitoring your fleet drivers, and one goes through the liquor store drive-through when on the job. Zoom in far enough in Google-Earth, and you will see his track into that parking lot or off the road. I mag-mounted the tracker to the inner top/back window frame of my sedan, and its reception was almost flawless. I can't speak for its reception when placed in more surreptitious locations in a vehicle; but others here have posted glowing reviews.
My favorite aspect of the LAS Tracker is that its output uploads directly into Google-Earth, so we can use the latter to match all our photo locations to the landmarks around the shoot. A photographer can derive very precise directional and positioning info this way, in combination with the EXIF data from the camera that shows the lens' focal length, to better locate a distant subject, in addition to himself. Outstanding!
LAS Tracker has three minor nuisances, all involving the batteries.
1. One has to unscrew the battery compartment and pull the batteries to turn it on and off. I realize this was designed deliberately, so the subject of surveillance can't just switch it off. [My subject will be threatened with loss of driving privileges if any harm comes to the device, or its signal is interrupted for any reason, whether his fault or not.] But the battery compartment's screws are *tiny*, and therefore, easily fumbled, dropped and lost by someone like me with large hands.
2. The battery compartment is too deep for the batteries, which on rough and shaky roads, may pop loose from the terminals while still within the compartment. I jerry-rigged a solution by folding up a piece of #2 plastic between the compartment door and the battery slots, to hold them in place.
3. Battery life is far below what's advertised. When using Ni-metal hydride (rechargeable) batteries, I had to change them out every day. When I tried to leave them in two days, the batteries (new Energizers, BTW) ran out during the evening of day-2.
I don't use its own mapping software, just Google-Earth. So I can't comment one way or another about the software.
All in all, I do recommend the device, as long as you are willing to change/charge batteries daily, and to build that into your surveillance routine as habit.

It works and works well! Jun 05, 2008
By W. Mitchell
This is a great little device. We were looking for a way to easily monitor employees when necessary and have been thoroughly impressed. I can mount it under a vehicle in a few seconds. I've mounted it to the frame, inside a bumper, etc. I was sure the unit would have difficulty getting a signal in many of the places I've tried but this amazing little device seems to work just about anywhere. It has also rained several days that the unit has been mounted under vehicles and it had no effect on performance. I agree with the last review that it would be nice if the gaskets were glued in place but it works great as is.
The LAS software is a little clunky. Maps are very outdated - not showing some major roads in my city that have been there more than 15 years, it would be nice to be able to jump to a specific time within on open file, and when a road has been traveled multiple times, you can't just click on a path as the software just decides on one of the paths rather than the one your curser is over. When trying to follow where they were going on a specific trip, this can be annoying. These are pretty minor annoyances though as the incorporated use of Google Earth remedies the outdated maps and being able to watch the exact paths traveled is great. The reports are informative as well.
In the two weeks we've been testing our unit, it hasn't lost a signal yet unless it's in sleep mode. Once moving it locks on again very quickly. For the price I don't think you could ask for more. I would highly recommend this unit.
