GPS Car Tracking Device

An Effective Theft Recovery Tool?

Thieves will steal your car no matter what prevents them; they will always find a way. A GPS car tracking device is neither a theft deterrent nor an effective recovery device.

GPS car tracking is not helpful for vehicle recovery, but is better for tracking in non-theft situations. A GPS car tracking device also functions well as a commercial tracking system for monitoring mobile employees, or for personal tracking, such as monitoring of younger drivers. However, a GPS car tracking system cannot prevent theft of your vehicle, or guarantee a recovery.

LoJack Technology Compared with a GPS Car Tracking Device

The reason that LoJack is so effective at vehicle recovery is its covert Radio Frequency Technology.

If your car is stolen, the LoJack Radio Frequency signal can see your stolen vehicle even when it's inside a building. This signal technology is why LoJack has a greater than 90 percent recovery rate at both consumer and commercial recovery.

GPS car tracking technology runs on microwave signals. And microwave signals are less effective at penetrating solid objects than LoJack's Technology – that's why GPS tracking signals are less effective at tracking and recovering stolen vehicles. LoJack's Radio Frequency Technology can penetrate through more physical obstacles that may be obscuring your stolen vehicle and preventing you from recovering your vehicle.

LoJack Works with Police to Immediately to Recover Your Car

After your car is stolen and you file a police report, police activate the LoJack System to track and recover your vehicle. The Transmitter sends a unique silent Code, allowing specially equipped Police vehicles to track and recover your car...often within a few hours.
