　　With the popularization of automobiles and the emphasis on installing GPS positioning equipment, many car owners have chosen to install GPS positioning equipment to ensure vehicle safety. However, after installation, they do not pay much attention to whether the GPS positioning system works properly when not in use. Or it is impossible to determine whether the GPS is working properly.

　　1. Actually, it's easy to determine whether GPS is working properly, just check if the vehicle position on the query software is correct. But sometimes our car doesn't move and its position stays the same. How can we determine if the vehicle's GPS is working properly at this time.

　　2. Firstly, observe the server time and GPS time displayed on the software system. If the server time is not the current time (within 3 minutes), it indicates that GPS has stopped working. It may be due to arrears or power outages, or GPS malfunction. If the server time is the current time, but the GPS time is not the current time, it indicates that the GPS is not in arrears and is working normally on power, but cannot locate the location. The vehicle may be in a place where the GPS signal is blocked (such as an underground parking lot, garage, etc.) or the GPS antenna may be obstructed by metal objects.

　　3. Customers can also determine whether it is working properly based on the flashing indicator light on the GPS locator. If the light is on, it indicates normal power on, if the red light is constantly on, it indicates normal GPS positioning, and if the red light is flashing, it indicates no GPS positioning. Considering whether it is in a GPS signal blocking position, please move the locator position for correction.
