1. Introduction

GV500 is a vehicle tracking device that plugs into a vehicle's OBD II port. Its compact design
allows easy installation. Its internal OBD reader can obtain information from the vehicle’s
on-board computer and relay it over GPRS networks. Its built in GNSS receiver has superior
sensitivity and fast time to first fix. Its quad band GPRS/GSM subsystem supports
850/900/1800/1900 MHz, allowing the GV500’s location to be monitored in real time or
periodically tracked by a backend server and mobile devices. Its built in 3-axis accelerometer
allows motion detection and extended backup battery life through sophisticated power

k
management algorithms. System integration is straightforward as complete documentation is

n
provided for the full featured @Track protocol. The @Track protocol supports a wide variety of

i
reports for emergency, geo-fence boundary crossings, driver behaviour, low battery or scheduled

l l
GNSS position and many other useful functions.

Note:
1. The VIN is the unique identifier of a vehicle. Please note that not all vehicles support getting

n
the VIN from OBD II system, because the vehicle manufacturers define the data returned from

l i
OBD II system.

2. Distance Statistics: GV500 could get the distance in two cases: distance accumulated since MIL

c a
was activated and distance accumulated since DTCs were cleared.
