The PAJ Finder is a very sophisticated GPS tracker with many functions and high location accuracy. Tracking is easy both via the app and via the web browser after logging into the PAJ portal. It has a very powerful battery that lasts up to 20 days. In order to receive a GPS signal undisturbed, the tracker should be used in an uncovered location when first used. The “SOS”, “Low battery”, “Shock” and “Speed alarm” entries are available in the alarms section of the portal. The SOS alarm is triggered via a small button on the GPS tracker. We were very satisfied with the accuracy of the location in the test. The results displayed on Google Maps were always very accurate and consistent, and we never had any problems with the GPS signal.
