Network Coverage Reports

CoreGPS records which mobile network your tracker used during real trips, so you can see how it connects across Telstra, Optus and Vodafone.

For vehicle owners travelling city streets, highways and regional roads, that visibility is more useful than a generic coverage claim.

Clear Trip History and Reports

Why Hardwired Matters for Vehicle Protection

Battery-powered and plug-in trackers are easier to remove, can run flat, and may not meet insurer expectations for installed tracking devices. CoreGPS is hardwired into your vehicle’s 12V or 24V system, with backup battery support if main power is disconnected.

Always check your insurer’s specific policy requirements regarding theft tracking devices.

Hidden permanent installation

Installed into the vehicle’s power system and placed discreetly, rather than plugged into an obvious socket.

Backup battery support

Helps keep the tracker active long enough to report if main vehicle power is disconnected.

Power disconnect alerts

Receive alerts if power is cut or tampering is detected, so you are not relying only on location updates.

Serious theft protection

Built for owners who want installed vehicle protection, with professional installation by your preferred auto electrician if needed.

How CoreGPS Compares to Basic Vehicle Trackers

Not all vehicle GPS trackers are built the same. CoreGPS combines hardwired reliability, adaptive updates, multi-network coverage and clear upfront pricing.

What to compare CoreGPS Vehicle Tracker Basic vehicle trackers
Hardwired installation Hardwired to 12V or 24V vehicle power for permanent installed protection. May be battery-powered, plug-in or easier to remove.
Backup battery support Helps keep reporting active if main power is disconnected. Often relies only on internal battery life or main power.
Power disconnect alerts Alerts can be triggered if power is cut or tampering is detected. May not alert clearly if removed, unplugged or allowed to run flat.
Movement and geofence alerts Movement, geofence, tamper and power alerts for fast theft awareness. Alert types and reliability vary widely.
Adaptive update tracking Can update as often as every few seconds when moving, with adaptive route points based on movement and direction changes. Some trackers use slower fixed intervals that can create delayed alerts or straight-line route jumps.
Trip replay and history Trip reports and replay help you review where your vehicle has travelled. History length, replay detail and reporting tools can be limited.
Battery voltage monitoring Monitor vehicle battery voltage trends, charging and overnight draw. Often focused only on location tracking.
Multi-network SIM Included SIM can roam across Telstra, Optus and Vodafone. May use a single carrier or require a separate SIM plan.
Australian support and hosting Australian-hosted platform with local support. Support, hosting and app quality may depend on the supplier.
Included tracking pricing From $199 with tracking included and no separate SIM required. Lower upfront prices can be offset by SIM plans, app fees or shorter included tracking periods.

Comparison is general category guidance. Always compare current inclusions, renewal costs, coverage, hardware type and support before buying.
