1. Introduction
The GV500 is a vehicle tracking device that plugs into a vehicle's OBD II port. It's compact
design allows easy installation. Its internal OBD reader can obtain information from the vehicle's
on-board computer and relay it over GPRS networks. Its built in GPS receiver has superior
sensitivity and fast time to first fix. Its quad band GPRS/GSM subsystem supports
850/900/1800/1900 MHz allowing the GV500's location to be monitored in real time or
periodically tracked by a backend server and mobile devices. Its built in 3-axis accelerometer
allows motion detection and extended backup battery life through sophisticated power
management algorithms. System integration is straightforward as complete documentation is
provided for the full featured @Track protocol. The @Track protocol supports a wide variety of
reports including; emergency, geo-fence boundary crossings, driver behaviour, low battery or
scheduled GPS position and many other useful functions.
