Frequently asked questions
What is GPS car tracking?
GPS car tracking connects a professionally installed device in your vehicle to an online platform. Authorized users can view the latest reported location, movement, trips and other available vehicle information.
How does GPS car tracking work in Tanzania?
The installed device uses GPS satellite signals to determine the vehicle location and normally sends that information to the Omtrack platform through a mobile data network.
Can I track my car from a phone or computer?
Yes. Authorized users can access Omtrack from a compatible smartphone, tablet or computer with an internet connection.
How often is the car location updated?
Update frequency depends on the GPS device, selected service package and available mobile network coverage. Omtrack can explain the available options before installation.
Which vehicles can use an Omtrack GPS tracker?
Compatibility can be assessed for private cars, delivery vans, trucks, safari vehicles, school buses, rental vehicles, construction vehicles and motorcycles.
What alerts can GPS car tracking provide?
Depending on the device and selected features, alerts may include speeding, unexpected movement, geofence entry or exit, long stops, excessive idling, ignition activity and device disconnection.
Can I review previous trips and routes?
