They reviewed five trackers which would suit different needs and people.  Their favourite was the Snooper My-Track SPT200 and they awarded it 5/5.  They voted it best for adaptability and liked it because it doesn’t have monthly fees.

The Retrieva was, obviously, the winner for dog owners and they awarded it a respectable 4/5.  I think they see it more as a rich person’s gadget or nervous dog owners, rather than a sensible every day item.

Next was the Spot Satellite Tracker which was best for outdoor types.  I feel that it should have beaten the Snooper My-Track for functionality, but believe the yearly subscription means it could only be a 4/5 star product.  This is a little unfair considering the Snooper requires a SIM card and you pay per text (which could cost the same as Spot’s yearly subscription).

InGear wasn’t as fond of the NIO.  It is a bit more limited as it only works with bluetooh but was said to be best for personal items, but only was given 2/5 stars.  I think the low score doesn’t imply it is a bad product, but it doesn’t have all the functionality of the other GPS trackers (but then it costs about a quarter of the price).

Finally they reviewed the RoadScan video event data recorder and this was correctly best for car drivers.  It was awarded a relatively low 3/5 stars for such as useful tool.  InGear did acknowledge that though it might be seen as pricey it “could save you a packet in the event of an accident”.

The GPS tracker article has some useful legal advice from Simmons &  Simmons in regard to GPS tracking.  If you can find a copy of a friend it is worth having a read!
