Mount it or Hide it
Attach the magnet mount to your car, truck, or gear, or tuck this small tracker into a bag or glove box. No tools, nothing to wire in.

Features
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
See real-time location on the map with updates every 5 seconds while it's moving, from your phone or any browser.
A Year of Trip History
A full route history log, so you can look back at everywhere your tracker has been, not only where it is right now.
Precision Finding
Precision finding narrows a general area down to the exact spot, using its own cellular GPS link rather than depending on nearby Apple devices the way a Bluetooth-only tag does.
You set the rules. Every alert lands in seconds.
Geofencing & Movement Alerts
Draw a geofence around home, work, or a job site, and get an alert the instant your tracker enters or leaves it.
SOS Button & Built-in Speaker
Press the SOS button to send an emergency alert, or trigger the built-in speaker remotely to help you locate your tracker by sound.
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.
How it is running, and how it is being driven.
Long Battery Life
A rechargeable battery lasting up to 15 days per charge on standard settings. Switch to a longer refresh interval when you don't need 5-second updates, and it can run for weeks between charges.
Water Resistance
A weatherproof magnetic case with real water resistance built in. Rain, splashes, and everyday use outdoors won't stop it from tracking.
Compact Size
A compact size built for a bag pocket, a glove box, or everyday items you don't want to lose, without giving up a real cellular GPS connection.
One dashboard for the family car and the work truck.
Built-in SIM Card
A SIM card is included and already active, handling data transmission over a cellular network, so there is nothing extra to activate.
Bluetooth & Wi-Fi Assist
Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity work alongside the cellular link, so your tracker can stay connected indoors where a GPS-only signal struggles.
App & Browser Access
Track from the ShadowGPS app on iOS or Android, or sign in from any browser on the web, with the same map either way.
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.

$15.95 caseHow mini GPS trackers work
ShadowTrack pairs a cellular chip and GPS receiver with a rechargeable battery, so it works anywhere it can reach a cellular signal, not only close to your phone. It skips the OBD-II port ShadowAuto uses; instead, magnet-mount it under your car or truck, or hide it in a bag or piece of equipment.
What's inside
A built-in GPS receiver calculates exact latitude and longitude, and a cellular chip sends that location data over a cellular network to the ShadowGPS app and web portal, so it stays visible from almost anywhere there's cellular signal, not just close range.
Setup, without a technician
Setup for ShadowTrack is a magnet mount or a hidden spot: nothing to plug in, nothing to wire up, done in under 2 minutes.
Cellular range vs. Bluetooth-only trackers
A cellular mini GPS tracker works anywhere it can reach a cellular network, not limited to the short range of a Bluetooth-only tag. ShadowTrack runs on the ShadowGPS network's coverage across 188 countries of roaming, per the brand book, because a cellular chip, not a short-range radio, is what makes that reach possible.
Apple AirTag: a different approach
Apple's AirTag doesn't contain its own cellular chip, so it relies on nearby Apple devices for location tracking. That works well in places full of iPhones, but coverage gets patchy the moment an AirTag travels somewhere without other Apple devices close by, a real tradeoff against a tracker that reports its own real-time location directly.
Privacy and legal considerations
ShadowTrack is built for the car, bag, or equipment you own or are responsible for, not for monitoring another adult without their knowledge. Tracking law varies by state and country, this isn't legal advice, check local law or an attorney if you're unsure.
What plans cost
ShadowAuto is $69.90 for the tracker and $12–$15/mo after that, with no contract, ever.
