Professional Mini-Tracker
When you are looking for dependability and great mapping use SkyTRX Mini Tracker.
It is a small, pocket sized GPS tracking device that receives signals from the
twenty-four Department of Defense satellites orbiting the earth. The new advanced
internal computer accurately determines the location of the device within 2.5
meters and records this data every second. With this data and the included SkyTRX
Tracking software, users can accurately determine where a person traveled, how
fast they drove, where they stopped and for how long. The recorded data from the
SkyTRX Mini Tracker can be displayed over a street map, satellite images, or in
a text report. Simply put, the SkyTRX Mini Tracker is an extremely affordable
GPS vehicle tracking data logger system offering accurate tracking data contained
within an easily deployable miniature weather resistant magnetically mounted housing.
Think of it as a video recorder developed specifically to monitor and document
a vehicle's traveled activities.
Our newest Tracker. The Professional Skytrx Mini Tracker is perfect for
tracking anything around the World! Utilizing an integrated motion sensor provides
the user longer battery life and more efficient mapping with Google
Earth and atlas style reporting and animated mapping. No need to worry
about turning the Professional Skytrx Mini Tracker on or off, once the batteries
are in place the unit is on and tracking.

- READ THIS BEFORE
USING THE SkyTRX Mini Tracker.
- KNOW HOW GPS WORKS.
The SkyTRX Mini Tracker uses Globally Positioned Satellites to find its location.
In order to lock onto the location, the SkyTRX Mini Tracker must have a direct
line of sight to 3 locations in the sky and these locations are changing constantly
throughout the day. Make sure that there isn’t any metal completely
blocking this upward / outward line of sight. GPS signals will
penetrate plastic, glass, rubber, fiberglass, cloth material, or anything
else not made of metal. The more metal obstructions that are above and
around the GPS sensor the longer it will take to lock onto the location (GPS
sensor is integrated into the SkyTRX Mini Tracker). Make sure you choose
an optimal location to place the unit for good tracking results. An
example of placement for the Tracking Key is the glove box but depending on
the design of the vehicle, it may take longer to lock onto the location.
If the glove box is very low inside the vehicle with a lot of obstructions,
it may not be able to track. In this case you will have to find a better
location to place the GPS unit.
- TAKE A TEST DRIVE (VERY IMPORTANT).
Take the unit for a test run with the GPS unit on your dashboard
for at least a few miles (10-15 min). When you place batteries inside
the unit, it is considered a cold start. It can take 2 minutes or more
for a cold start. If you leave batteries in the unit there will not
be another cold start until you replace the batteries. After 3 minutes of
inactivity, the unit will go into a very low power mode which will not drain
the batteries. Now download your test data by following the Quick Start
Guide for Downloading Data.

On the front or rear dash board |
99%
|
Probably one of the best locations to keep your unit
if you do not need to conceal the device. You can place the unit in a box
of tissues or in something on the dash. |
|
Under the Front or Rear Dash Board |
95%
|
It is important to remember that the unit must be high
enough up in the dash board to make an effective lock. Spotty data will
indicate that your placement may need to be adjusted. |
|
In the Glove Box |
80-95%
|
This is good location to keep your unit. Effectiveness
may vary from one vehicle to another, but if placed properly it should work
in the glove box of almost any vehicle. |
|
Under or on the Seat. |
70%
|
Placement under the seat will vary from vehicle to vehicle.
If you must place the unit under the seat, make sure you test it for a day
or two to make sure it will work in your vehicle. |
|
Under the Vehicle |
70%
|
Placement under the vehicle will vary from vehicle to
vehicle. If you must place the unit under the seat, make sure you
test it for a day or two to make sure it will work in your vehicle. SkyTRX
does not guarantee that the SkyTRX Mini Tracker will work in this location.
If the unit is not properly gathering data you may have to adjust your location.
