Features of LiveViewGPS Portable GPS Trackers

30 Jul 2025

Portable GPS trackers are compact, versatile, battery-powered GPS devices that can be easily placed inside a package or moved from vehicle to vehicle to monitor and track your valuable assets.

Unlike traditional GPS trackers, portable tracking devices can be covertly placed on your vehicles and assets while traveling and driving, to improve the security of your assets.

In vehicles, the portable GPS trackers can be placed discreetly:

  • Where the passenger compartment area of the vehicle is accessible, in the glove box, under the seat, or front dash, or even in the trunk of the car.
  • In other cases, magnetic GPS tracking devices can be attached to the undercarriage of the vehicle, specifically, to the steel part of the vehicle’s underside, but never to the vehicle’s wheel well.

Key Features in a Portable Vehicle Tracking System 

They include:

  • Battery life: Portable GPS trackers must have an extended battery life of several weeks and even months to use them for tracking purposes.
  • Real-time tracking: GPS trackers must offer GPS-enabled real-time location tracking that allows you to monitor your vehicle as it moves.
  • Durability: Portable GPS trackers are usually exposed to various environmental conditions, dirt, dust, and moisture. The devices must be water and dirt-resistant and come in a sturdy case to extend their lifespan.
  • Size: A portable GPS tracker must have a small and compact design that easily fits into a backpack, pocket, or purse.
  • App compatibility: Portable GPS trackers must be compatible with specific tracking apps or must come with their apps to improve their usability and efficiency.
