I bought this to keep tabs on my cheatin' spouse. It is excellent when it works....the only problem is that the coverage is based on the AT&T coverage map and it stinks in my area. When paying 14.95 a month you would think coverage would be better than what it is.....Just check your local AT&T coverage to see how it will work for you.
Battery power is better than I expected...it lasts me about 3 to 4 days depending on how much I locate it or have it scheduled to locate every 10 to 30 minutes. Its larger than I thought it would be so hiding it was a little more difficult but I found a good hiding spot...
It will text or email you when battery is low or car is moved (if it's in good coverage area) Also when the car is moved it will locate the device every 5 minutes for two hours which I liked.
So, all in all, if the coverage in my area was better and it was a bit smaller, it would be perfect!

I have no problem recommending this product. It has worked as advertised and met all my expectations. The pricing is a little high, but as I've learned (read my Zoombak disaster) you get what you pay for. I keep this device in an enclosed trailer for some added security, and when the battery gets low, you are notified. You have unlimited locates, and the shock and perimeter functions work flawlessly as well.

Great product.--aj

I just found the exact same thing on Ebay from eclectic_mart@yahoo.com for $189, free shipping! Called Amazon and they said they will not match the price but will allow me to return it. Sorry, Amazon, I've placed my order and am sending the Amazon one back. Amazon is always a few dollars higher but worth it. This is the first time I've found such a huge discrepency and I will remember to double check Ebay in the future!


I've had it for a couple days now. The battery only lasted a day or two and takes a long time to charge. So I paid Best Buy $100 to have it hard wired directly to the battery in the car my 16 year daughter is using (and my 14 year old son is lusting after). I thought of just clipping the car charger plug off and wiring it myself to the car wiring. Luckily, I did not try this as the plug contains a resistor. The proper way is to buy a female plug that you wire (either always on or just on when the vehicle is on) and permenantly plug the male end into it. Best Buy did a great job of hiding it.

The couple days I've had it has tracked great! It will show the position every ten minutes or you can get continous tracking for ten minute intervals. It show location, speed and direction of the vehicle.

It's pricey at $300 plus $180 for on-line tracking. But after reading all the problems with the competing device, I am very glad I bought this one so far.

It has an arm function that is supposed to alert you by email and by text message to your cell phone if the car is moved. It can be armed from the computer after the car is supposed to be home for the night. This function is not currently functioning on my unit. I emailed tech support today and hope to follow-up here if they respond.

The arm function is great for kids that might make a unauthorized copy of the key and sneak out for a midnight joy ride (not that we parents ever did that - smile).

But even if the arm function does not work, I can always have the website plot where the car has been for the last day or for several days and pick up any unauthorized activity.

I think it's cheap for the peace of mind of knowing where my kid and the car are and how fast they are driving!

Ok I have had this for a few days and had my daughter track me while I was out of town and driving around California.
So far it has performed exactly as I had expected and I am pleased.
My daughter calls it very cool. She can follow my travels and know where i am when I am out of town on business.
Things I like are real time tracking so you can put the unit on a vehicle and follow its movements
There is a slight lag and the position when not moving is not perfect. It will give the position to about 15-20 feet,
ie it will show the car parked 2-3 parking spaces away from where it actually is parked in a typical parking lot.
It will also give you a route history and the interface is easy to use.
I have not put the battery time to the test yet. That is what I will do for the next few days.
Good solid product. Worth the money.
Buy it you wont be disappointed.

The product does what they say it does. I've used it on one of my cars and I've been able to track it very well. The battery only lasts for a couple of days so you have to remember to keep it charged.

I am only reviewing the item and it's service company blacklineGPS, not the seller. I followed the instructions to the letter and the unit doesn't work. It's broken out of the box. I activated it immediately per the instructions and now I must fight to get my 75 back from that. Blackline's phone is disconnected and they don't answer their email. Look very hard at the company that will provide the service before buying this.
