 Excellent System at Low Cost June 25, 2007

I was really suspicious when I went GPS shopping, because I'd heard so many problems about metal blocking signals and so forth. I put the tracking key through all kinds of tests in my van, hiding it upside down under the seat, inside the dash, stashing it back inside the compartment for the jack, surrounding it with metal and pointing it in all different directions (it recommends you keep it upright, but I found it doesn't make a difference, this thing still works perfectly!). It's only disadvantage is that as a data logger, you have to retrieve it before you get the tracking info to download to your computer. The battery lasted me about two weeks of regular driving, though, so it more than compensated. But yeah, as a first time buyer of a tracking device and thorough tester, I was highly impressed. It shows on an overhead map (adjustable to satellite images with Google Earth!) the exact path the vehicle took, or an animated time-clocked journey, showing where it went, how long it stopped, when it took off again. No matter how deeply I hid it in the car, it never lost my signal once. Shop around a little bit to avoid overcharging companies, and you might want to wrap a piece of black electrical tape on the green battery light on the outside of the case for better hiding. Definitely an excellent buy, I'd recommend it to anyone with covert tracking needs.
It works and works well! June 5, 2008

This is a great little device. We were looking for a way to easily monitor employees when necessary and have been thoroughly impressed. I can mount it under a vehicle in a few seconds. I've mounted it to the frame, inside a bumper, etc. I was sure the unit would have difficulty getting a signal in many of the places I've tried but this amazing little device seems to work just about anywhere. It has also rained several days that the unit has been mounted under vehicles and it had no effect on performance. I agree with the last review that it would be nice if the gaskets were glued in place but it works great as is.
The LAS software is a little clunky. Maps are very outdated - not showing some major roads in my city that have been there more than 15 years, it would be nice to be able to jump to a specific time within on open file, and when a road has been traveled multiple times, you can't just click on a path as the software just decides on one of the paths rather than the one your curser is over. When trying to follow where they were going on a specific trip, this can be annoying. These are pretty minor annoyances though as the incorporated use of Google Earth remedies the outdated maps and being able to watch the exact paths traveled is great. The reports are informative as well.
In the two weeks we've been testing our unit, it hasn't lost a signal yet unless it's in sleep mode. Once moving it locks on again very quickly. For the price I don't think you could ask for more. I would highly recommend this unit.
The CAT has no secrets! June 5, 2009

The unit picks up very well, "sensitivity" is better than a (slightly older) military grade GPS. The ACCURACY did float around a little on testing when signal was locked into what is considered a "2D Lock". All & all, it is absolutely amazing for being so small...
And it uses very little current- long runtimes. I just wish it had a switch, but if it did I would probably forget the batteries in it to leak out, so that is not really a con. It works great to know where that darn cat goes at night...
If you have a cat, or a person/vehicle you want to track where it has been, this is for you.
NOTE: Do not mistake this type of unit for a "lowjacking" system wheras you can find out where the unit is at any time. This system ONLY records where it goes, it does not report to anything! So if you put it on a car expecting to find the car when it is stolen- not going to happen... BUT if you ever get the car back, you could find out where the thieves drove it (and how fast!)...
Most systems which offer live tracking have SERVICE costs (monthly charges of some sort, usually data carriers to bring that data to you from the mobile unit.) Albeit this device is slightly more expensive than some of the live-trackers as far as hardware is concerned.
BUT: Why pay for services to find out where your teenager, or cat is at, when you know she's coming home, and you can find out where the pussy(cat) has been roaming when it comes home!!! (hmmm... I just thought of another use for this thing!)

LAS Tracking Key I bought from Seller - Kpage40 April 5, 2008

I have to whole heartedly agree with the last review. I too was careful before selecting a GPS tracking device for the first time and read information on several different products before making a purchase. Considering that identical looking devices received some pretty negative feedback from users, I can only assume that there may be a few if not several devices out there with a nearly identical appearance. In other words, they must not all be created equal despite their look. The device has a durable look and feel. The magnet on the back is quite strong (you'll feel it might be too strong, but that is great!). The only thing to be careful of are the tiny little screws that hold the battery compartment shut. They are tricky, tiny screws and are easy to lose. Despite that, the engineers were smart and made the screw holes such that weather and elements won't be able to find their way into the unit should you lose a screw. There is a very thin rubber gasket to seal the battery compartment as well, but be careful not to lose it! This gasket is very good and seals out elements from the inside parts, but you really need to be sure its in place before sealing the device shut. Thanks to the gasket, it really only takes two screws to hold the compartment tightly shut - and because of the design feature I just pointed out, you don't have to worry about the empty screw holes! There is also another rubber gasket to seal the USB end of the device. My only suggestion to the maker of the unit on this subject would be to glue the gaskets down for us! As it is now, the gaskets can freely pop in and out of their places and you have to be really mindful of this fact when you use it. You do not want to lose a gasket, and believe me, the USB end gasket on mine fell on the floor and I almost missed it. These points are not real complaints however. The gaskets do exactly what they are supposed to and give the unit real weatherproofing. The software included is great also. The first time I imported the data and viewed it on the map, I was impressed. The options they give you to view the map are wonderful. Now I can track my personal driving wherever I go and see exactly how far I have traveled. Now when I figure out my average gas mileage, I have more accurate figures on my distances. God knows every penny counts these days! Also I can compare and find the best and fastest routes wherever I might travel. By comparing past travels, I can tweak my routes and maximize efficiency. I can vouch for the LAS model that it must be the best out of its look-alikes and similar types. I'm glad I picked this one instead of something else. Best of all, the price and service I received from the seller I bought from were great. People are reselling this thing all over the place and if your not careful, you can wind up getting gouged a bit. I hope that this review helped you out!
LAS Tracking Key is Amazing May 21, 2009

This device performs better than I'd dreamed. PC software installation was easy, as was inserting the batteries in the device itself. (Taking used batteries out required a little effort.) The screws are tiny and try to stick to the mounting magnet, but relatively easy to work with.
The data collected was spectacular - even from the bottom of the back door pocket of an extended-cab pickup truck. Batteries have lasted about a week, so I only removed the device for downloading once a week.
Downloading was easy, although once I had to click "Find Device" several times. Data integration with Google Earth was seamless. (Remember to click on "Roads" to see road names.) Since the data can be viewed in Google Earth a day at a time, it is easy to separate repeat trips to the same spot, i.e., school, work, friends' houses, etc. In Google Earth, you can see every stop, in numerical order. Arrival time, departure time and length of stay are displayed with a click of the mouse.
For me, this is a low-cost way to monitor the whereabouts of my child without his knowing, and without hassle. Now that I've used the LAS tracking device, if I didn't already own one, I'd buy one immediately.
