Everything a GPS tracker should do. Nothing it shouldn't.
Grouped by the four questions owners ask us. Pick the one you are asking.
Pick a question
Watch it move now. Play back any day you missed.
Live Tracking
Your car or truck on a real-time map while it is moving, from your phone or any browser. It refreshes every 5 seconds, so the dot you see is where it actually is.
A Year of Trip History
Every trip kept for a full year, with driving time and idle time on each one. Pull up a Tuesday from eight months ago and it is still there.
Route Playback
Play any day back like a movie, stop by stop, at whatever speed you want.
You set the rules. Every alert lands in seconds.
Car Alarm
It moves when it shouldn't, or someone pulls the tracker out of the port, and you know right away. Push notification, text message, or email, whichever one you will actually see.
Geofence Zones
Draw a zone around home, school, or a job site. Get an alert the moment it enters or leaves.
Curfew Alerts
Set the hours it should be parked. If it starts moving at 1 a.m., you find out at 1 a.m., not at breakfast.
Driving Alerts
Harsh braking, hard acceleration, and speeding pinged as they happen.
How it is running, and how it is being driven.
Trip Score
Every trip comes back with a score built from the braking, acceleration, and speeding on that drive.
Engine Codes
When the check engine light comes on, your phone tells you what the code means before the shop does.
Battery Health
Watch the voltage trend so a dying battery shows up on your phone.
Fuel Level
See how much is in the tank without walking outside.
One dashboard for the family car and the work truck.
More Than One Vehicle
One car or twenty on the same dashboard, personal and business side by side.

Easy to use
If you can use a map app on your phone, you can use this. No manual, no training.
Web and app
The same map and history on iOS, Android, and any browser. One login, nothing extra to pay for.
Always on
Your tracker switches between major networks on its own, so it keeps reporting when one carrier drops out.
How it compares
5 seconds, standard. Not upsold.
Cheaper trackers exist. What they do is update slower, charge more for speed, or ask you to sign two years to get their best rate. Every ShadowGPS plan gets the same refresh and the same no-contract terms.
| Tracker | Price/mo | Refresh rate | Contract |
|---|---|---|---|
| ShadowGPS (ShadowAuto) | $8–$13/mo (4+ trackers) or $9–$15/mo | Every 5 seconds, every plan | None, ever |
| Brickhouse Security | $9.99–$17.99 | 5 sec to 1 minute, by tier | 2-year for best rate |
| Tracki | $9.95–$30 | 10 sec to 1 hr, by tier | 2-year for best rate |
| Spytec | $25–$45 | 60 sec, 5 sec on the top tier | None |
| LandAirSea | $9.95–$49.95 | 3 min standard, 3 sec on top tier | 2-year for best rate |
Who it's for
Built for the car or truck you're responsible for.

Turo & rental hosts
Your car leaves with someone you have never met. Get an alert if it crosses the zone you set, or if someone pulls the tracker out of the port mid-trip.
Small fleet & business
Two vans or twenty on one dashboard. See who is where without calling to ask, and keep the trucks your work depends on where they belong.

How OBD GPS trackers work
An OBD GPS tracker is a small tracker that plugs into the OBD-II port your car already has. It works out its own location from GPS satellites, then sends that location over a cellular network to your app or browser. ShadowAuto is the ShadowGPS version of that, built for cars, trucks, Turo rentals, and small business fleets.
What owners actually get out of one
Certainty first: your car is either where you left it or it is somewhere on a map you can look at. After that, the practical stuff. Engine codes surface a fault before it becomes a repair bill. Trip history settles questions about where a car went and how long it sat. Driver behavior alerts show harsh braking and speeding while there is still time to talk about it.
How it connects
The GPS receiver inside the tracker calculates position, the cellular radio sends it to a cloud server, and the app or browser draws it on a map. That whole loop is what a refresh rate measures, and ShadowAuto runs it every 5 seconds while your car is moving.
OBD trackers vs. hardwired trackers
A hardwired tracker is spliced into wiring behind the trim, which means a shop visit and a harder job to remove. An OBD tracker like ShadowAuto goes in yourself in under 2 minutes and comes out just as easily.
Alerts and notifications
A live map answers "where is it." Alerts answer "what just changed." ShadowAuto sends tamper and Car Alarm alerts, speeding alerts, and geofence alerts when your car enters or leaves a zone you drew.
Plugging it in
There is nothing to fit beyond pushing the tracker into the port. OBD-II ports have been standard on cars and trucks since 1996, so it works with most of what is on the road.
What plans cost
ShadowAuto is $69.90 for the tracker and $12–$15/mo after that, with no contract, ever.
Browser and app access
Use the app on your phone or the dashboard in a browser. Same login, same live data, same trip history.
| Where you use it | How you get in |
|---|---|
| Desktop | Web dashboard in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge |
| Phone | ShadowGPS app on iOS or Android, or the dashboard in a mobile browser |
| Tablet | App or browser, same account, same live map |
| Connection | Every login and session runs over an encrypted connection |
