Question: How long does it take to charge? via USB on a computer, car battery, or home current, does this change the charge time?
Document: I bought this to track a rarely driven vehicle. The reviews are great and accurate. It works plugged in. It comes with the USB cord for your computer to program it and charge it, but no AC plug or 12v auto plug. If you buy a $3 auto 12v plug, you can use the included usb to have this always plugged in and charging (and draining your battery).
A handy device, but the Battery life is nothing like claimed! My experience has been that it lasts about 1/3 as long on a charge as the Garmin Manual claims. Often the software requires several location reloads before it gives you the current location.
I have peace of mind. The battery life is okay but I think thats because I live in an area with poor cell reception. But I take my dog's collar off every night and charge it so its a non issue for me. I lost her once before and got her this when she found her way home. It seems to work well and I can track it from my phone.
the both seem to take a long time to connect with the device. A device I might have just turned on, placed on the hood of my car, waited for 5 minutes the apps where still giving my last nights position. eventually after pushing refresh enough times it works but I wish I knew what was happening and why it seems to take so long to lock if it hasn't locked in a while.
We get alerted everytime the nanny takes the baby out of the neighborhood. We have it installed in the car seat that goes into the car or into the stroller. This works like a charm. We charge it once a week and we have a geofence set up so that it sleeps as long as it is in the house or on our street. Battery lasts all week just fine.
This product performs pretty much as advertised. It is a great product to keep track of kids and I love the fact that it easily integrates with your smart phone. Not a great choice for long term tracking, unless you want to hardwire into your car.There are two things that could improve battery life:1)More setting options. There should be more choices of how often the location updates so that you have more battery life options.2)Have an option to turn off charge LED.
Then we get in the car and check their current location, drive to that area, check their location again to see where they moved, get closer to the new location and check again constantly getting closer and closer until we find them and get them back home. It is so much fun seeing the look on their faces when we locate them so far away from home. It's like, &#34;How did they find us so fast, we were having so much fun&#34;.
When it works, it works very well. Several times when I really needed it the website would be down for maintenance for a long period of time.7-5-13 Changing my reiew from 3 to 4 stars. Most of maintenance delays I found out are due to me needing to log back in to the web site rather than going back to my computer 20 minutes later and trying to "locate".
Enter Garmin. I certainly had my doubts but gave it a try. I had my wife put it in her car to give it some dry runs and I tracked her from my computer. It worked just fine but my real reason for getting it was to be able to track from my phone. Make sure you buy the constant tracking option of one month at a time for 5 bucks. It gives location every 15 seconds or so. They give you 50 hours with it and you can renew whenever you want.
I'm not sure if this was a glitch when I changed the settings or not. I contacted customer service on the second day and I got the standard "it could take a long time" and "please delete your internet cookies" and "maybe your browser is not working try another" type of response at the end of which they tried to up-sell me on the more detailed tracking plan.
Answer: I only charge mine with the USB cable on my computer and while it does indicate a full charge in a couple of hours, I found if I leave it connected overnight I get a longer time period between charges.  I have my notify set to 30% and 20%.
