Not only does it have a small form factor, but it’s 50 channel gps receiver, and -160 dBm sensitivity gives satellite lock a whole new meaning! We installed one device, in the center dash area of a vehicle, near the bottom of the vehicle’s dash – and turned it sideways! To our surprise, it has performed flawlessly!
Installation is done via three wires – constant power/Ignition Sense/Ground. GPS tracking updates every 10 seconds when over 4 mph – and every 30 minutes when the ignition is in the off state.
The G5 is an effective tool for business owners, parent’s of teen driver’s or anyone else that needs or wants to keep tabs on their vehicle.
