Title: Works Great, Easy to Setup
Review: Someone tried to break into my Hyundai the other day so I ordered this asap overnight and activated it today. Have never had any device like this before.It was very simple to activate and set up the app. No hassle whatsoever other than finding a good hiding spot for it in my car.So far it's working great when I tested driving to the grocery store. Right now, it's showing the dot for my car on the map about 10-12 feet from where my car is parked in the lot at my apartment, so it's not 100% exact, but plenty accurate if someone steals the car the police will know where to look.The app is really straightforward and easy to use. I haven't tried logging into their site on my PC yet, but have been using the app on my Android phone.Here's the options in the app:1) Can quickly set a fence around your car, just tap the Fence button to automatically create a fence when you park and it'll notify you if the car moves out of the area.2) App lets you share your location with anyone, so if my car breaks down or I'm in an emergency, it'll be useful to quickly send my location to a family member. Was able to send a link through SMS to my sister and it links her to a map with the GPS device name and location shown.3) You can turn the LED light on or off through the app so it won't give away where you hid it in the car.4) It has an Energy Saver mode that you can set from the app to change the updates to every:30 min (10-15 day battery life),1 hour (15-30 day battery life),2 hours (1-1.5 months battery life),4 hours (1.5-2.5 months battery life),6 hours (2-3 months battery life),12 hours (3-4 months battery life), or24 hours (4-6 months battery life)I noticed there's an option in the settings that let's you select "Do not show low battery warning", so I'm assuming it'll notify me if the battery is low so I can remember to re-charge it?EDIT: Yes, it warns you when the battery is low. It will give you this message: "One of your devices has a battery level of 20% or lower. If your device is set to update every 10 seconds or faster, it is now in power conserve mode and will update every 30 seconds."5) There's a History button in the app that lets you review where the car/device has been. You can select Today or Yesterday from the quick drop-down menu, or select a specific date from the calendar.6) There's a whole section of instructional videos inside the app and a FAQ section which are both helpful if you need it. However, it was super straightforward to set up so I didn't need to use those.7) In the settings you can change the map type between a regular google map or satellite view map. If you change the map type, it seems to delete the fence you set. But it only takes half a sec to tap the Fence button again and reset it. Might be a minor annoyance if you have a whole lot of devices and are switching between map types frequently?8) The time zone seems to have been automatically set to US Central time, so you may need to go into the settings and change it. But, even though I changed the time zone to be correct, it's still showing the alert on my phone with a timestamp in CST when I drive the car out of the fence.EDIT: I contacted customer service and they were able to fix this for me so time zone shows correctly now. However, due to a recent update of their app, it stopped showing fence notifications for me completely unless I had the app open constantly. Turns out it was because I'm unable to upgrade to Android 12 on my phone model, but they were still very helpful and patient and able to find a solution for me. So now it's working again just fine. They had set it up so it would send me an email notification instead, but whatever they did also magically fixed the regular app notifications somehow. So if you have any issues, they seem willing and able to help or a work-around if possible.9) You can rename each GPS device if you have more than one so you know which one is in which car, etc.10) You can change the icon type and icon color that shows on the map for each device! There's a lot of icons to choose from like car, pickup, semi-truck, bus, ATV, EMS, fire truck, bulldozer, bicycle, yacht.... you get the idea.11) They have the text, phone, email and address right in the app to contact support if you need help.Can't comment on the battery life holding up yet since I just got it today, but I just put a reminder on my phone to take it out and re-charge it on weekends when no one's gonna be lurking around the parking lot in broad daylight and other residents are around.EDIT: Batteries lasted for 3 1/2 weeks from the day I first activated my device until battery completely died. I have it on updates every 3 minutes. Maybe it will vary depending on other factors for you, but for me that's how long it took.The magnet on it seems very strong, but to be fair I didn't try mounting on the outside of my car, so I can't comment on if it'll fall off or not. I stuck it to a metal part hidden inside the car.There's a good variety of plans to choose from with updates at differing intervals and discounts if you pre-pay lump sum. It says you can cancel your subscription at any time.I'm not able to pay the lump sum ones, so I went with the cheapest month to month one at $19.95/month for 3 minute updates so I'll know pretty quick if anyone's moving my car. It looks like the shortest update option is every 3 seconds if you need it that frequent.Very happy so far at how quick and easy it was to get setup. Will update this review if anything goes terribly wrong with it, but seems like it'll work for what I needed it for.Have a steering wheel lock and stuff on the way as well to hopefully deter or slow down anyone from trying again, but worst case I'll be able to track it now and tell the police where to look.EDIT: After using this for about a month and half, no earth-shattering problems. The couple of issues I had, customer service was able to resolve for me as mentioned.

Title: Worth it.
Review: Battery lasts about a week and a half with lights off.Works great if there’s signal wherever the tracker is. Drive through areas with no signal and the tracker won’t work or show you on the map where your item is or was. Cool thing is you can see a history for the day and will playback where it moved up to that point in the day. You can customize the icons on the app depending on what you trying to track to personalize it a little bit. You can edit the name of the tracker on the app.Idk how water proof it is since i have them in my cars only.Would definitely recommend but i personally think the subscription is a little bit pricey.

Title: Satisfied
Review: So far, so good. Bought to track husband on hunting trips, in the event he gets lost. LOL Actually, his got wrong exit in Pittsburgh and ended up where he didn't know he was. Called me and I could tell him what street he was on and how to get back to the interstate he needed. While most people have a gps program on their phone or a Garmen, he's technology deficient, so he was truly very lost!Downside of product, to charge you need to have good fingernails to get the cover off the charging plug-in. Also, it seems when he travels into an area without good cellphone coverage, it records that last spot and keeps that as his last location. I thought the satellite would provide coverage when there was no cell coverage. ??? Maybe I didn't understand how this unit works. But all in all, I'm glad for the purchase, not expensive either, and chose the lower monthly cost for now and can change if we need the higher plan.

Title: E-scooter GPS
Review: I use this for gps on my 2024 Apollo City e-scooter. Fits inside the casing just barely with zero room to spare. The battery lasted almost two weeks the first time I installed it. I got the plan with 3 minute updates. I just took it out to charge and am going to reinstall it. This time I’m going to set it with the energy saver which instead of activating with movement it will be set to activate every 2,4,6 or whatever I set it to. Obviously the only purpose I got it for is if my scooter were to be stolen to be able to find it. So I really don’t need it to activate unless it’s stolen. I usually use the scooter 1-3 hours a day so I believe it should help conserve the battery. And if I gets stolen I can just pull up the app and take off the energy saver so I’d be able to find it. I couldn’t find insurance for the scooter so I think this would be the next best thing I could do. I believe the service is around 20 a month. Another cool feature is that it tracks its movement as a video recording on the map and has the time posted throughout at each location. Another thing is that you can set a geo fence so if the device travels out of that area you are notified. So if you had your scooter locked outside while your at work or shopping at a store and someone were to steal it I would receive a notification on my phone. I’ve tried this feature and it does work. I was immediately notified within a minute. I believe the Land Air and Sea 54 may be the best gps system for e-scooters.

Title:
Review: Summary: works perfectly in Canada. Did not work at all in Japan.Pros: The device arrived quickly. I called the company about connecting from another country. They answered quickly. I got a real person, an employee of the company, not a call center. Very friendly and helpful. Setup was simple, fast, and the location very exact while used in Canada. The app is fairly simple, intuitive and clear. It performed exactly as described in Canada. I needed this for tracking suitcases, because Air Canada loses hundreds daily. I liked that the global SIM (cell) service was one price no matter where it travelled (no roaming fees or other surprises). I also liked that this is a family-owned company in Illinois, that the device is made in the USA. (I looked at another device on Amazon, Tracki, but it's made in China, which I would not trust with my data.) The LandAirSea unit is magnetic, which helps for secure installation. Happy with this product for use in Canada, bought a second unit on that basis.Cons: I bought this for international use, but my device did not work in Japan, at all. It turned on and was registered properly, worked great in Canada, but in almost two weeks of driving around Japan, including time in Tokyo, it never once connected to a cell network. As soon as it landed back in Canada, it connected seamlessly and worked perfectly, so the problem was with the cell service. Japan has 100 percent cell coverage, so the problem is not the device or the signal availability; it may be with the MVNO cell service reseller that LandAirSea uses as a provider. The tracker just could not get a signal in Japan, anywhere. LandAirSea should be talking to the company that is supposed to be providing them with "global" cell coverage, because they are not providing as promised in Japan. Some people mention the monthly subscription. The monthly fee ($20) is obviously more than a tag that works by just Bluetooth, but I needed the global live tracking, so it would have been worth it to me as an occasional expense. For the company, I would strongly suggest that they include the option for users to install their own e-sim, just like on a phone. In my case, I can get a Ubigi data e-sim for a month for Japan for a fraction of what this costs, and Ubigi works perfectly.On balance, this would be a good product for someone with a fleet of rental vehicles, who is making money to offset the monthly fee. I hope they can bring the cost down and allow user-installed e-sims that work overseas, to make this product more useful and affordable for luggage tracking.

Title:
Review: I ordered this car tracker with a fair share of skepticism, having been disappointed in the past with similar products for my car rental business. However, this device has proven to be a pleasant surprise, exceeding my expectations on multiple fronts.My foremost concern was the magnetic grip of the device. In my past experiences, I found many trackers fall short, failing to maintain a robust hold on the vehicle. But with this one, my worries were immediately dispelled. The magnetic strength is exceptional, ensuring a secure attachment that outperforms other trackers I have used. It gave me peace of mind knowing that it would stay firmly in place, yet could be easily slid off when its use was no longer required.Accuracy is another crucial factor when it comes to car trackers, and this product scores highly in that department as well. I was genuinely surprised at how precise the data was, which significantly improved the efficiency of my business operations.Last, but certainly not least, is the impressive battery life. The longevity of the battery in this device is remarkable, substantially outlasting similar trackers on the market. It's a huge relief not having to worry about frequent recharging, and it adds to the overall reliability of the product.Based on my experience, I would definitely recommend this car tracker. It's an excellent tool for anyone in need of accurate and reliable vehicle tracking, whether for a business like mine, or personal use. I've found it so useful that I'm even planning to refer it to my family members!This device is an investment worth every penny, and I look forward to using it for many years to come.
