Salind 11 2G GPS Tracker with Magnet, Route History and Geofence Alerts

At 10.9 x 7.6 x 2.6 centimetres, the Salind 11 is a compact plastic GPS tracker with a built-in magnet for attaching to a vehicle or other asset. It uses a 2G connection and supports live location tracking, route history and alerts, with a SIM card included. Its stated battery life is up to 90 days on standby, or around 40 days with one hour of active tracking each day.

The main trade-off is that using the tracker involves choosing a subscription plan. Its 2G connection is also a key part of the specification, so it is worth considering whether that network suits the intended location before relying on it.

Key features

Live tracking and route history for the previous 365 days give you more context than a basic location ping. Alerts can notify you about movement or a collision, leaving a security zone, speed, low battery or removal of the device. This could be useful if you want to check where a vehicle has travelled or receive a warning when it moves unexpectedly.

The magnet is designed to make fitting straightforward, while the IP64 rating means the tracker is described as splash-proof for indoor and outdoor use. It is intended for cars, trucks, quads, boats and machinery, rather than being limited to one vehicle type. The app is compatible with Android and iOS, and the manufacturer says the locator can be shared with family members. Buyers describe the tracker as easy to set up and use, and some praise its location accuracy. Feedback on battery life is mixed: while some are pleased with it, others mention seeing a 30% charge reading. Opinions on its size also differ, despite the listed dimensions.

Fit and sizing

The tracker measures 10.9 x 7.6 x 2.6 centimetres and weighs 300 grams. Its magnetic fitting may suit a vehicle or asset where a removable, concealed tracker is more practical than a permanently installed unit. The product is plastic, and the box includes a manual. The supplied SIM is already inserted, according to the product details.

Battery expectations depend on how often tracking is active: the stated figures are approximately 90 days in standby and 40 days with one hour of active tracking per day. These are different use patterns, so the longer figure should not be treated as the expected duration during regular active tracking. Battery level can be checked online.

Best use cases

This tracker is aimed at monitoring vehicles and machinery, whether the priority is checking a route after a journey or receiving an alert when something leaves a defined security zone. For example, a vehicle owner could use the app to review recent routes and get a notification if the vehicle moves from its usual area. The motion, collision and removal alerts add further monitoring options beyond location history alone.

Worth considering if you want a magnetic tracker with route history and several types of security alert in one device. A simpler tracker focused only on occasional location checks may be enough for less involved monitoring, this Salind model makes more sense when alerts and journey records are useful. Not the best choice if you need to avoid an ongoing subscription, as a plan is required to use the service.

Before you decide

Is a SIM card included? Yes. The product details say the SIM card is included and inserted, and subscription plans are offered for using the tracker.

Can you view routes as well as live location? Yes. The listed features include real-time tracking and route history covering the previous 365 days.

Which phones work with the app? The app is described as compatible with Android and iOS devices.

Final verdict

The Salind 11 brings together magnetic fitting, live tracking, long route history and multiple alerts, making it more suited to ongoing vehicle or machinery monitoring than to occasional, one-off location checks. The standby and active-use battery figures give a useful guide, but buyer feedback on battery life is mixed. Choose it if the alerts and route records justify having a subscription, if you want a tracker without an ongoing plan, this is not the right fit.
