What does the cost of buying a GPS locator include?

When it comes to GPS locators, many people think of it as a GPS navigator on a car. The functions are somewhat similar, and they are all used for positioning. But there are big differences when using them. And not only is the difference in use big, but the price is also big.

GPS locators are a collaboration between hardware and software to exert their effects. Hardware, that is, the host terminal we get, is used to install in the car; software is the application we need to download on the mobile phone, which is convenient for us to check the location of the vehicle on the mobile phone at any time. The cost of software and hardware constitutes the main price content of the GPS locator. Of course, there is also the charge of the SIM card.

When we buy a GPS locator, we must ask about the cost of software and hardware: the price of hardware, generally speaking, 100-200 yuan is a very common market price. Some of them are 300-500, and the GPS locator of the 4G terminal is relatively expensive. 4G products have just been launched and the cost is very high. We buy according to the price of our own budget, and don't be confused by the packages of some merchants and buy something impractical.

Software cost, we also call it platform usage fee. When the GPS locator market was just hot, there was a platform charging project. Generally, after one year of use, you need to pay tens or hundreds, or even hundreds or thousands of platform fees to the dealer to continue to use the software functions. This fee can extend your use rights for one year, two years, several years or long-term. However, most manufacturers have long-term GPS platforms, and you do not need to pay annual platform fees. But it is not ruled out that few merchants will play some word games to deceive consumers. I hope that everyone will ask whether the platform usage fee will be charged twice or multiple times during future use when purchasing. If so, give up decisively.

SIM card traffic fee, the SIM card is installed in the GPS positioning terminal, and the latitude and longitude of the uploaded location are uploaded to the platform through traffic. The monthly traffic does not exceed 30M, and the traffic consumption is very small. As long as you pay the phone bill regularly. If you don't know the card number, you can change the card directly.

The above hardware + software + SIM card is the cost structure of the GPS locator. I hope everyone can open their eyes and take fewer detours when purchasing
