We offer three accurate and real-time location products that can help you locate either a driver, or the vehicle itself.
Our hand held or wearable trackers are completely flexible. Just take it with you in the car during the week and with you on your boat or bike at the weekend. Use it to track cars, vans, HGV .. anything with four wheels, plus containers, trailers, coastal or inland boats, bicycles, touring or racing cycles, motorbikes, tractors .. almost anything that moves at any time.
If your vehicle doesn't have an electric power source or you don't want to drain the battery over a long period without use, use our solar panel to trickle-charge your GPS tracker.
Our systems are also finding use in parental monitoring of new, young drivers who may agree to use a gps vehicle location system in exchange for use of the family car, and who might then be able to use the fact that they are tracked as a means to avoid peer pressure.
Our 'live' and accurate GPS tracking systems are being used to monitor the use of one of the family cars, to keep track of a family member out exercising on a bike, riding a horse or sailing, or just to find someone after a day's shopping, at a festival or park.
We provided trackers for the B#1 Lands End to John O'Groats charity event for the British Heart Foundation where star sportsmen and sportswomen ran, cycled and windsurfed from one end of the country to the other and we continue to provide GPS location trackers to charity and sporting events throughout the UK.

First, you need a tracking device. Choose either KoolTrax Lite the pocket unit, KoolTrax Rover fitted to your behicle, or KoolTrax Mobile, software for a mobile phone. From a tracking point of view the main difference is that KoolTrax Lite provides a more easily accessible panic button. KoolTrax Rover you can simply forget about once it's fitted. Using KoolTrax Mobile, being installed on your mobile phone, means you don't have to carry anything extra.
You can control all these systems by installing KoolTrax PC software on your Internet connected Windows PC. Enter your name and any other people involved.
Then using online maps, set up any alert states. Most often these are geofences, geographic boundaries which would raise an alert once the tracker goes beyond them.
Set how you want to be alerted .. by text message or email (as well as on screen) and who should get those alerts.
Once you've installed and registered everything, KoolTrax PC on your computer will display the position of your tracker units.
You can set up as many boundaries as you like, and alert as many people as you like in all sorts of combinations, and you can track as many GPS trackers as you want on any number of KoolTrax PC screens.
KoolTrax Lite is a GPS device (and KoolTrax Mobile requires your mobile phone to have GPS). That means they use radio signals from military satellites to discover their position anywhere on earth to within 4 metres. Your in-car SatNav system does the same thing.
Both devices are also connected to the mobile phone network. Assuming your tracking device can get a phone signal, it transmits its location to our server.
The KoolTrax PC software on your computer talks over the Internet to our server to get the position of your GPS tracking unit, and then it displays where your person is onscreen for you. We currently use Google Maps (but reserve the right to change that without notice), so you can see the location as a road map, as an archive satellite image, or both.
If you are not familiar with Google Maps, enter your postcode here. By default you see the map view, but there's a button for 'satellite', and 'hybrid'. Some areas have stunning high quality satellite images, some only lower quality, but we think Google will bring high quality to all as soon as it is able.
Just to be clear, these are NOT 'live' satellite images, you will not be able to actually see your client, child, parent or employee walking down the street using this system. These are archive satellite images taken weeks, months or years ago.
We take Google Maps (or an equivalent service) and overlay our symbols to show the location of your GPS tracking units. If you have more KoolTrax devices, it can display the location of all of them.
KoolTrax hardware trackers use the very latest SiRFstar III GPS chip and the best active GPS aerial, so you get the most accurate position data, and much improved positional fixes when the devices are indoors.
On your KoolTrax PC PC, you can see the location of your trackers in real-time on an on-screen map. If you set up a geographic boundary, you'll get an alert if they leave the area. You can see a breadcrumb trail showing you where they've been.
GPS devices need to be able to sense the satellites that allow them to discover their position. Traditionally this is more difficult inside a large building or very built-up area, however our use of the best GPS components in both KoolTrax hardware devices minimises this.
We show our confidence in a position using a circle. The larger the circle, the lower our confidence, the larger the area to search. This is very rarely more than a few metres.
In the rare event that your KoolTrax tracker cannot calculate its position, or cannot transmit it through the mobile phone network, you still have a breadcrumb trail on screen which shows last position and direction of travel. KoolTrax trackers are connected live to our server, so as soon as the signal is picked up again, your KoolTrax PC software displays it. In this, unusual, situation, what you do know is that the person entered a particular building or poor signal area and hasn't come out. This is in contrast to competing products where you pay to send a text message that would return a "can't find them" message, leaving you to pay to re-send repeatedly.
Our server has an uptime of 99.99%. Occasional essential maintenance is undertaken at the quietest times.
KoolTrax devices have intelligent power management, so it reduces the number of times it calculates and sends its position as it runs low on power. We ran one down over two weeks and it continued to work, but was only able to send position data every hour. You can see the unit's power status on your KoolTrax PC display, and there is a low battery alert.
An interesting application of this technology has been picked up by the press recently, partly as a result of the sobering statistics about deaths and injuries on the road involving young and new drivers. KoolTrax provides information about speed of travel, and some astute parents have used this to give them peace of mind and help keep their driving-age children safe.
In this 'deal' the young driver agrees to use KoolTrax Lite while driving in return for the parents buying or contributing towards them getting a car. The parents know their offspring is staying safe and within the law, they also know where they are, and at the same time they are providing an incentive (and a reason to give to their mates) why they won't exceed the speed limit.
KoolTrax Mobile is probably rather more desirable to the young driver, since it requires a high-end mobile phone and the fact of being tracked is more easily hidden.
There are two main emergency situations: when the tracker wearer presses the alert button, and when the tracker exceeds a geofence boundary (although you might also define "not being worn" or "exceeds speed limit" as an emergency too). Incidentally, the alert button on KoolTrax Lite is more easily accessed in an emergency than the software button on KoolTrax Mobile.
In response, you can monitor the location of the GPS tracker unit onscreen and perhaps direct someone on the ground, verbally, using a mobile phone.
Our trackers must have a connection to the mobile network in order for any alert method to work. We currently use Orange to provide mobile services, their coverage map is here. The system is designed as a person location device and all populated areas are well covered. If your user is in a remote location, they would need a phone signal anyway to raise help, our system provides location data as soon as a connection is established, so for them there's no watching for a momentary icon on their phone and then being unable to connect for long enough to describe where they are. With KoolTrax Lite, you always know where your 'driver' is.
We have worked hard to provide a service that enables you to budget for the costs involved.
KoolTrax Lite is available for rent at £34.99 per calendar month, all normal use included.

The idea of KoolTrax™ Lite is that you can rent it for as long as you need it, then just send it back to us. Consequently, we have a trickle of second user GPS trackers which we'll list here when they become available.
Since they come with different accessories and in different states of wear, we've decided to operate a price drop system. Each week, we'll drop the price of each item here until it sells. So, if you like the price, go for it (before someone else does). Remember, there's only one of each.
If you want a tracker for less, keep waiting and watching.
