Battery Pack (Dimensions of housing case: 5.43x4.06x2.12)
We have combined our popular WorldTracker Enduro Tracking Devices with a brand new weatherproof magnetic enclosure. This new pack can provide up to 6 months of unattended use by utilizing state-of-the-art dual layers of Lithium Ion Batteries and a motion sensor that puts the tracker into hibernation after 5 minutes of inactivity.

One of the most cost-effective and convenient features of the hibernating case is that it can be left unattended for 6 months. Completely programmable, the battery pack virtually eliminates the need for human monitoring by automatically calling up to five cell phones and sending email alerts when it detects motion.

A mere 5.43 inches long, the new battery pack is about half the size of its conventional counterparts when housed in its waterproof and crush-proof Pelican™ case.

Setting GeoFence Alerts

Figure 23: Setting a GeoFence

A GeoFence is a virtual fence on the map that will trigger an alert if crossed. GeoFence boundaries can be drawn on the map, and the email you want the alert sent to can be input on the same page. It is possible to configure multiple GeoFences in as many locations as you want.

You can also configure a GeoFence in an area the vehicle is not currently in, and be notified when the vehicle enters that area. For example, you could configure an alert to let you know when your child successfully arrives on his/her college campus

Figure 24: Drawing A GeoFence

Defining a GeoFence is intuitive: click to set a GeoFence, then double-click on the map to draw a box around the area you want to define GeoFence around. The highlighted blue area, shown in the screenshot above, is the part of the map that will be included in the virtual fence. You can then choose whether you want to be alerted when Enduro enters, exits, or both. Then click "Set" and the GeoFence is active.

When the WorldTracker Enduro enters/leaves the defined GeoFence, you will receive an alert via email or a text message, depending on your alert preferences.

Mileage Reports

Figure 25: Viewing Monthly Driving Reports

WorldTracker Enduro keeps track of speed information as well as location. That means the device knows if you're moving in vehicle, or walking around on foot. Time spent in a vehicle can be viewed as a monthly report that shows distance, drive time, idle time, starting and ending addresses.

Total mileage reports are also available by year, month, week, or day.

Figure 26: Daily Driving Reports

Daily driving reports offer more granularity than the monthly report, showing the entire day's activity, including time spent parked, mileage driven, and addresses visited.

Pros

• Small size
• Lightweight
• Less expensive than many similar GPS trackers
• Long battery life (5-10 days, depending on frequency of location updates)
• Location reports available from any computer with Internet access
• Good vehicle-related reporting options
• Optional extended battery provides up to 6 months of continuous tracking
• GeoFence feature easy to use
• Rugged (waterproof, able to operate in extreme temperatures)
• SOS button
• Standard USB power connector
• Low power alert feature
• Location reports include speed data (how fast the GPS is moving)

Cons

• Confusing LED status lights
• PDA/Smartphone optimized webpage for viewing location reports costs $60 per year
• Internet access required to lookup the device's location (no call center or other way to get location information)
• Fewer alerting options than some competing devices (no way to alert multiple people, or configure escalation lists)
• Battery status not viewable via the web portal

Conclusion

Last year I reviewed the WorldTracker GPRS and gave it high marks. In many ways, WorldTracker's Enduro is a smaller, lighter, more rugged, all-around better version of the GPRS.

One of Enduro's most important improvements is its long battery life. Throughout my testing period, Enduro routinely achieved 5-7 days of continuous tracking between charges (set to 15 minute update intervals). This can be stretched significantly by increasing the time interval between location updates, or by adding an optional battery pack that lasts up to 6 months between charges.

Slightly larger than a matchbox car and weighing just 76 grams, Enduro is easily carried in a coat pocket, backpack, handbag, inside a stuffed animal, or just about anywhere you can think of. Accurate to within about 15 feet, WorldTracker Enduro uses Assisted-GPS, or A-GPS, to report its location on a user-definable schedule (i.e. every 15 minutes).

Location reports are accessed via a webpage, and position information is spectacularly displayed using Google's or Microsoft's 3D maps. Date, time, speed, heading, and street address information is displayed on the map, and breadcrumb trails show the path the WorldTracker has taken. Customers can choose to view the device's location either on a Google map, Microsoft's Virtual Earth, or a special webpage that's optimized for viewing on a PDA or smartphone (costs an additional $60 per year).

An on-screen calendar makes it easy to view historical tracking data by clicking on the desired date (any dates with tracking data available are clickable). Various driving-specific reports are only available, including daily and monthly mileage, time spent driving, and maximum speed reached for each trip.

Geofences, or virtual boundaries, can be drawn on the map and WorldTracker Enduro will alert you via email or text message if the virtual boundary is crossed. For example, you might setup a Geofence around your home address and receive notification whenever the device enters or leaves home.

WorldTracker Enduro's small size, light weight, long battery life, and relatively good accuracy make the Enduro a very powerful tracker for those looking for high performance GPS tracking in a small package. Though slightly less accurate than some larger GPS trackers, Enduro gives up relatively little in terms of performance, and is unmatched in its size and concealability.
