From memory it was 2022 and i was preparing to go travelling around Australia again. For security and peace of mind I wanted a gps tracker so did a google search. I came across your website and after reading about your history and the fact it was an Aussie product decided to go with Solid GPS. After initial teething problems with the unit, which… Read more · 1
was entirely my fault, not setting it up right, I found it to be excellent and did everything I wanted from a GPS unit. The after sales service from Solid GPS and the team is excellent also. I have travelled extensively the past 4 years, SA, NSW, VIC, Qld, NT and the tracker has operated flawlessly, tracking my every movement. Another feature I like, is it also records my speed which my be useful at times. Recently I purchased a new tracker which has new features and as always, it operates flawlessly. The are basically a set and forget unit and as I said, they not only offer security but peace of mind. If by chance my vehicle was stolen, I am confident of locating it.
At the urging of my daughter I bought this GPS tracker at the Black Friday sale last year. After much googling and deliberation and reading various reviews of similar products, I decided on this one because of its ease of setting up and great price. It lives permanently in my 1971 Valiant Charger and works extremely well. When put into emergency… Read more · 1
mode via the app it plots your position every few minutes on the map and would be very easy to follow if it was stolen. With the amount of young car thieves around now this tracker gives great piece of mind and ensures my daughter will get her inheritance.
I must say that the two GPS that I have bought so far has been very user friendly . After purchasing the first one for my caravan, I knew I had to get another one for my brand new FWD. The Initial set up to both units is pretty straightforward. Michael and his team at Solid GPS have done most of the work by registering the owner while preparing… Read more · 1

Great product and great support! – Works really well for tracking a caravan. I got 5 months' battery life out of the 3 month product. There are a few quirks with the interface, and Emergency Mode should track its location more than 2 minutes apart, but their support has been excellent and overall I think the product worked as advertised!

Just git my second gps, it doesn't connect or show on the app like my other gps does
I have 4 units protecting my classic bike collection and could not be happier with the units. Any tech support Ive need Michael gets straight onto it and resolves them quick smart. These trackers are the go for people like myself who need to know where their gear is. Show reply
Great communication and fast delivery easy to set up and a great peace of mind knowing my Troop carrier is protected when I’m out and about Show reply
We found the SolidGps website after a google search for Gps trackers for vehicles and after going through and researching all the different websites that popped up we decided that the SolidGps tracker was the one that would suit us best. Once we received the Tracker and fully charged it the setup was really really easy just turn it on put it close… Read more · 1
to your window or windscreen then download the SolidGps app via appstore or GooglePlay on your phone or you can view the status of the tracker via the SolidGps website and then just go for a 5-10min drive around your neighbourhood with your tracker in your car and your tracker should calibrate itself. Its got 3 different modes "Emergency" "Watch Dog" and the "Normal Mode" you can read up on these in the small booklet provided to suit your needs, we love the "Watch Dog" mode where you can draw a boundary around the cars location and if the car moves out of it you will be alerted right away via notification on your phone and also email. Communication and support via email was very very good Michael helped with all the questions i sent his way. So far so good. Exactly what we needed. Peace of mind. We'd recommend SolidGps to anyone looking for a simple easy to use yet effective Gps tracker.

Loving solidgps, I gave one to my daughter for her van and I have one in my motorhome. It is great to be able to join my daughter and have a virtual holiday whilst the motorhome is off the road or even go straight to the destination when we choose to meet up. And of course if my daughters van or my motorhome should move unexpectedly we know exactly where to find them anywhere is Australia. Show reply

Follow-up · Caravan GPS setup - easy , just find a secure place to put it -that easy , then go away from the van and open the app to make sure it is working. The company is always helpful with the very few questions that I asked. The Commodore unit is hidden well ,I think and works well . Couldn't be happier with the product and the support given.

After seeing SolidGPS recommended dozens of times by fellow members in our Facebook RV group, we finally decided to pull the trigger and get one for our motorhome. Every single person in the group that has one had something positive to say about them, and now that we own one, I can see why. Installation & Ease of Use The setup was incredibly… Read more · 1
straightforward. It really is a "set and forget" type of device. While we are reasonably tech-savvy, we found the interface and the app very easy to navigate. The physical installation was a breeze too—no complicated wiring or professional help needed.
Battery Life We opted for the medium-sized tracker, which is rated to last 6 months on a single charge. So far, the battery performance has been outstanding. It’s a huge relief not having to worry about constant recharging or hardwiring it into the house batteries.
Customer Support We did have a small hiccup during the initial activation process, but the after-sales support was fantastic. They responded very quickly and had the issue sorted out in no time. It’s always reassuring to know there are real people behind the product who actually help when you need them.
Value & Connectivity The ongoing subscription costs are very reasonable, especially when you consider the technology involved. One of the best features is that the tracker can connect to multiple mobile carriers at once. Living in New Zealand and travelling in an RV, you know that signal can be hit-and-miss. Having the tracker automatically switch to whichever carrier has the best signal in the area gives us much more confidence that we can always track our vehicle.
Overall, if you’re looking for a reliable, easy-to-use GPS tracker for your caravan or motorhome, I can’t recommend SolidGPS enough. It’s well worth the investment for the peace of mind!
Australian Innovation At It’s Best! Great Value! – Solid GPS is a ripper little device that protects my new motorcycle. Works perfectly. Easy to setup. Easy to use. I’d like to see an update in the future to allow more than a location update every 2 mins max (in “emergency mode”), but I get why they did that, to save battery life. I could see occasions where more regular updates were more… Read more · 1
important than saving battery life, for instance when police were trying to locate a stolen vehicle as it moved etc. It’s not a GPS tracker that will allow you to see every road and street a vehicle is travelling on. It’s more designed to alert you the unit is on the move (in “watchdog mode” it will alert you on your phone if the unit moves), and it will give you updates along the journey (max 1 location update every 2 mins in “emergency mode”) or in normal mode, it’s 1 location update every 10 mins, plus, it will show where the unit stops, the most important location update of all, showing where your car, motorcycle etc had ended up. I love that it’s locally made in Melbourne, has Australia Australian customer service and great back up. 10/10 from me. Excellent value data plans, and the Solid GPS unit is incredibly inexpensive for how well it works. Highly recommended!

Excellent Tracker – I now have 3 of these trackers Our caravan has 1 and 1 in each or our 2 cars I find them excellent in providing tracking of the vehicle at a reasonable cost. Only need to recharge around every 6 months.

placed where they ‘can see the sky’
Examples of good working locations:
In 1 car I have placed the unit under the rear seat headrest. You can’t see it and with the headrest slid down on top of the unit it is held securely. This works in 1 of our cars but not in the second (4WD) which has a different headrest design.
The other car is a 4WD and I have placed the unit in a cup holder in the rear compartment.
In the caravan I placed it in a window behind the blind.
All in all an excellent product. Keep up the good work
As far as improvements I do find they work best with a view of the sky. When I place in the glovebox or similar it doesn’t work. Equally when the car is in an underground car park it doesn’t work (These 2 comments surprise me actually because in both examples my phone still works. I would have thought your tracker would be the same considering it has a Sim). Maybe an aerial redesign in your unit would be an improvement.
Hope these comments help
Positive reviews
The Solid GPS tracker came highly recommended and I found: - it's easy to activate - it provides accurate readings on location - it has good battery life What I find most attractive is the Watchdog mode, which is sort of a perimeter warning and alerts the owner if the vehicle is moved from it's stationary position. All in all an easy to handle device with some fantastic options. I highly recommend it. Show reply
So easy to set up ,very well built, and very accurate. Being so small i can use it on all my vehicles, beening motorcycle,s ,van and cars .Battery life is excellent still on first charge saying 100% after 6 weeks of use.I can't recommend Solid GPS enough. Mark Show reply

Pro's: 1. the portable rechargeable units are very small and easily hidden. No wiring required. 2. SolidGPS have great little window stickers telling thieves, "Find another vehicle" 3.

It's borderline ok. Having used this in earthmoving equipment other a few years it's not the greatest tracker. Using other trackers for similar price puts it to shame. Only good thing is it's Aussie made. Shop around.

Is this a joke?! During my last trip on February 23rd, the device recorded the entire journey without issue. However, between February 23rd and March 16th, this tool hasn’t recorded my caravan’s location even once! What’s worse, three days ago, I moved my caravan 60km away from my home, well beyond the set boundaries. Not only did I not receive… Read more

The Solid GPS unit works extremely well. Excellent signal to 4G/5G when on the move The newer models of the trackers seem far more sensitive than the earlier models. The big plus is that after being charged up, the tracker does not need to be connected to a power source. The inbuilt battery has excellent long life ability. 6-12 months between… Read more · 1
recharge needed depending upon what size internal battery you get. This means it's easy to hide the tracker anywhere. Cost is pretty fair and well worth the money. Recently, I had an issue with my old tracker (it was about 5-6 years old). The team at Solid were very helpful in resolving the issue and responded to emails very promptly. Highly recommended.
Excellent tracker with accurate detailing of position. Seems to have good back up with good response to any questions about tracker etc. Good to be able to pick up the phone and speak to someone nowadays. Show reply
Had my solid gps unit for several years now and had no problems until I noticed the back cover had came off from a slighlty expanded battery. I contacted solid gps and without question they sent me a new battery in the mail within days. Great to deal with and great product.. Show reply
The tracker is not the flashiest one available or the most precise ( showing blow by blow travel routes down to the last meter) , I had a small problem initially getting it up and running but it was eventually sorted.

The GPS was recommended highly by my brother in law. I agree with his assessment. Your GPS product is great. Very simple & straight forward to use. Its just there, giving security. Compared to the outlay cost of my wife's top of the range Qashqai, a very modest security cost. Show reply

Bought a tracker for my car about a month ago, and it works exactly as has been described. Charged it up, hit the "on" button and placed it in the car. No other mucking around needed.

peace-of-mind. Also, I received an email from solidgps a few days ago asking if I was happy with the unit and sought my input into ways it could be made even better. I responded on Sunday stating I'd like to be able to change the colour (from yellow to purple) on the tracking map so that the car stood out even further. Within a few hours I received a response (yes, on a Sunday) saying that option was available in "settings" and that they'd done it for me. If That's the sort of timely response I get from just a simple enquiry, I'm more than confident that they'd be readily available if I really needed them.
I purchased the largest unit because of battery life and it's hasn't moved from 100% in a month. This device performs as advertised with easy setup. I'm happy with my purchase and with the mobile app. Customer service is attentive and responds back in a timely manner. I would recommend to others for a simple tracking solution. Show reply
