Looking for reliable tracker gps
Hello all. We’ve been using Linxup tracker but have been very disappointed in its reliability lately. Their phone support has only been able to offer firmware updates which have not worked and I’m tired of the phone calls trying to resolve. Does anyone use a tracker system you’d recommend for our Thor Venetian?
Thanks much!!!

For just tracking us, we use ios app ‘followmee’. Free. Our kids or whom we allow access knows where we are at

Aware GPS is similar to what you were using with a $20 per month fee. If simple family use is all you desire, Google Maps has a feature with your cell phone that allows you to "share your location" with specific people. Free and basic, but works really good.

Apple has Find Friends app that we use at times. Of course, you would need Apple products.

Iife360 android app.
It tells me where anyone in our group is within about 15 feet but usually it's within 4 inches or so.
Free, and it back tracks a path throughout a 24 hour period. Up to a month if you buy the pay version.
I can tell which seat at our home kitchen table the wife is sitting in from 10,000 miles away.
We can find each other in Walmart or in Europe.
It alerts me, by email and text when the spousal unit leaves or enters a geographic circle I set the size of.
If she's coming home with groceries it let's me know she's within 500feet of the house and I can walk up from the shop and help her unload.
The pic is her walking the large rv park at Fort Benning Georgia. (she likes to splash in puddles, the river was too enticing. At least I'd know where she fell in....)

Thanks Gritz. We’re looking for something that stays w the vehicle and plugs into OBD. Tracker would monitor alerts, mileage, fuel etc. in addition to tracking location.

Any Android phone or tablet or radio head can live in your vehicle forever while using the torque app to monitor the drive train while torque is doing a wonderful overlay onto Google earth of your speeds and fuel usage and any parameter every second (also free) the my q app(tells me when my home garage doors are activated) and the yi home app(sends pictures to my monitor whenever the motion detectors in my home activate. That's my friend I am talki g to through the app while doing 80mph,600 miles away) and yi dashcam app(I have one in the rear window that works as a wireless always on rear view camera and recorder.).
See the 14.1" Rockville monitor threads here and look up an eonon 10.1" radio head available through Amazon.
If you want a multitasker like you have stated, get a real multitasker. All of this (and sygic rv mapping along with rvparky) through an old 4.1 android phone.

Thx! I’ll look into that. Meanwhile found that Aware gps is basically a company that seeks a variety of trackers, including Linxup, the one I’ve been unhappy with. Their chat rep was very helpful and basically said the one I have should be performing so , back to Linxup support!!!

A small portion of the torque map showing speeds through a dispicable corner. You can even see where I went into the fast lane to pass someone and then came back to the correct lane. .
And
Radarnow app.
We have live radar weather in the rv at all times.

Check this out made by SiriusXm. I plugs into your OBD connector and has a webpage and phone app. Set forget it. Works good.
