    This is NOT GPS tracker, but GPRS tracker. Tracking performed using cell phone stations. Accuracy is low ~1km, but still shows location. So, depends what you need.

    If you have such a fake, find out that it responds to other commands. The APN setting is done with the Apn # net # command, where "net" is the apn of your network. The imei # command will return the imei code but will not go to any site. After setting the APN, command 777 will respond with a Chinese link

    I don't know the technicality as explained by this guy, but he's right.... This thing is rubbish

    1) The location is NOT accurate.... Had my car parked outside my house with the tracker in it, got the location and it showed my car was on a different street in my local hospital grounds..... I went to pickup some car parts the following day and while inside the store I got my location once again, it showed my location on the opposite side of the dual carriageway in a totally different industrial estate
    2) I've tried to download the app for three days in the hope that it would make a difference in regards to getting a more accurate location, and everyday it keeps telling me registering device please try later
    From my experience I'd say this is absolutely rubbish. What good is it if you'd stole my car, parked it on your drive but this thing is telling me it's somewhere else

    Thank you, I was going to buy this and as you say it would have been fairly useless to me.

    Did anyone test "GF-22" model is it fake or real GPS ? Does it give the exact location ?
