GPS Chip

[oo7ml]

Hi,

Does anyone know if it is possible to buy a small GPS chip that you can put in your car or bike, and then track it via an app on your phone?

Thanks in advance for your help.

You would need a device that can communicate via cellular to work, A chip is just an inert piece collection of silicon and other material. There's no way for a phone or computer to track a chip. You would need to provide power to it, and way for the device to communicate with the phone.

That's why Find my Phone doesn't work when a thief powers it down.

Just google: gps device to track car

I came up with lots off hits, to many to really provide any detailed information.

Here for example is what Amazon has

Sadly, depending on yor car, there likely is something serving this purpose, we just can't access it.
