Easy install - This Optimus unit is much more precise than I expected in a consumer GPS. I moved the car over 3 feet on the driveway, and it registered that small move and drew a new map. Impressive. It updates at 30 second intervals, which is adequate for my use, which is to track the car if it is stolen (just had another car stolen from me in Arizona -- and recovered by Colorado police - YAY! ). It is also very sensitive to movement such as shutting the trunk or closing a door. For some, it might be too sensitive, but if so, the apps do allow you to turn the "movement alert" on and off quickly. Obviously anyone trying to monkey with the car is going to set it off -- even if they jack it up for stealing wheels or to tow, it is going to alert. The phone app and the web browser app are not all that impressive, but they do respond quickly to the units communications, usually within 5-7 seconds of the "triggering event" in my testing of it. It also uses Google maps, so that is a good thing. Overall, I'd say the apps are mediocre, but still no complaints, as they DO get the job done in a basic way. Installation is as simple as splicing into a 12v wire ("hot" at all times) and a ground wire. Easy as pie (the unit comes with its own in-line fuse holder and 5A fuse). It draws only a few mA, and leaving the car parked for 5 days without being started had no effect at all on the battery's starting power delivery. I can't speak to longevity or durability, but the GPS unit seems to be well made and a solid piece. As long as it holds up over time, this seems to be a really good unit and a nice bang-for-the-buck value. Review: this works perfectly - I have 2 versions of this tracker. This one that gets wired in and the battery version. This unit that gets wired in is great. Set it and forget it. The battery version works just as well but we have to remember to charge the battery every couple of weeks or so. This wired in version is the one to get if you can. Very happy with my purchase. ## Features - GPS Tracker - Track Cars and Trucks - Hardwired Installation - Requires a 2 wire Easy direct on Car’s Battery installation (Positive and Negative). - Flexible Subscription: Enjoy the benefits of an affordable monthly subscription at USD 12.95, with the freedom to cancel at any time.

It was very affordable, and the subscription intervals are handy and help with affordability. You can choose to pay monthly, quarterly, or annually. The larger the interval, the more of a discount you will get. I choose monthly for $12, which costs more, but I don't plan to need it all year. ## Frequently Bought Together - Optimus Wired GPS Tracker for Vehicles - Easy Installation on Car's Battery - Low Cost Subscription Plan Options - Optimus 3.0 GPS Tracker - Over 1 Month Battery - with Heavy Duty Waterproof Case and Powerful Magnets for Vehicles and Assets - Tracki Pro GPS Tracker for Vehicles, USA made tech.
