Whether you’re locating a lost pet or trying to find your way around an unfamiliar city, a GPS tracking device can help navigate you toward your desired destination. Originally developed by the military, a GPS, or a global positioning system, has been adapted by people to help them pinpoint specific locations or loved ones. You can use a portable GPS device by placing it in your car or using a handheld one. Here are four different ways you can use this device during the fall season.
Traveling on Road Trips
Fall break is coming up. Pack up the kids and take a road trip to see the family for the Thanksgiving holiday, or just discover a new area over the weekend. Wherever you’re going, use a GPS system to help get you there. It’ll provide step-by-step instructions on where to turn and which exits to take. Using a GPS navigation and tracking system ensures no one gets lost on your way to and from your destination. Many of these systems are reliable and easy to view. You can easily place these systems in your vehicle and display your route right on the screen. This helps keep you on the right path without taking your eyes away from the road.
Hiking and Biking on Different Trails
On cool fall nights when you’re in the mood to camp alone or with the family, head out on biking or hiking trails. You can mark the spot of your campsite on your GPS device and it’ll remember your starting location. When you’re ready to head back, just hit a button on your system. You can then walk or bike right back to where you started. You can also record the exact trail you walked using your tracking system and play it back next time you want to venture down that same path again.
Locating Your Children
Fall weather often brings football games and bonfires, which is where your kids may spend most of their evenings with friends. GPS tracking devices help you worry a little less about their whereabouts. Install these systems in their cars or have them carry around a handheld device. Most systems make it easy to alert others of their exact location if they’re lost or their car breaks down.
Finding Your Parked Vehicle at Busy Events
Whether you’re attending a state fair, sporting event, pumpkin patch, or any other crowded fall festivity, you may lose sight of your car in a sea of vehicles. By placing your tracking system in your car, you can easily spot where your car is from your handheld device. Some even let you connect to the device using your mobile phone. This helps you leave the event quickly and without wandering around searching for your vehicle.
A GPS Tracking Device Helps You Navigate to and from Destinations
Many GPS tracking devices use global positioning satellites to help others find their specific location. These satellites pick up the signal of the location and the GPS system helps navigate you to that area.

A GPS tracking device can come in handy in many different situations. GPS tracking devices can be used to locate vehicles, assets, or people. It can be very reassuring to know that your belongings or loved ones are safe and that you can access their location at any given time. It’s also a good idea to purchase some accessories to go along with your GPS tracker. Here are a few accessory options that will complement your device.
Cases
A case is an important accessory to protect your GPS tracking device. Two cases designed to protect the Enduro products are the Mini Mag Plus and the Mini Mag Pro. Both of these cases use a strong magnet for mounting. They are also lightweight and waterproof. The Pelican series is also for Enduro products but contains an external battery. Pelican cases are crushproof, dustproof, and watertight. It’s critical to invest in a protective case as your GPS tracker is a valuable asset and needs to be kept safe from damage.
Batteries and Battery Packs
If you are purchasing a case with an external battery, don’t forget that you also need to purchase the external battery. Pick between a flat battery, 6-cells battery, and 8-cells battery based on which case you have. You may also want to consider purchasing a battery pack, which contains a rechargeable lithium battery, as well as a charger, connector cable, and in some cases a flat battery.
Cables/Chargers
Cables and chargers are other good accessories to have. They allow users to efficiently charge their GPS tracking devices. There are various models of cables and chargers available. The Hardwire Kit connects the Enduro plus products to vehicle supply. The connector cable connects the Enduro plus products to external batteries. Car chargers allow users to charge their GPS products while they are in their car. Lastly, the battery charger charges external batteries. Keep a cable or charger near the GPS tracker so that it does not suddenly die.
Whether you own a personal GPS tracking device or a device to track vehicles or assets, you will need accessories to go along with it. A case will help protect the device from damage. Other accessories such as batteries, battery packs, cables, and chargers help make sure the trackers are charged and ready to go when needed.
