GPS Recovery

GPS Recovery vs. LoJack

The LoJack Stolen Vehicle Recovery System was designed specifically for stolen vehicle recovery. GPS, as the name implies, was created as a Global Positioning System – not as a GPS recovery system for vehicles.

LoJack works directly with police to track and recover your car using the LoJack Vehicle Theft Recovery System. A GPS car tracking system, while effective for locating a vehicle's position, simply does not offer the same proven effectiveness as LoJack For stolen vehicle recovery

LoJack and the Police vs. GPS Car Tracking

While GPS car tracking is effective, it does not operate with the same efficiency as LoJack for retrieving a car or stolen motorcycle.

GPS car tracking devices are effective for routine, everyday tracking of vehicles, such as keeping tabs on a household's teenage drivers, or commercial tracking of a fleet of mobile employees. However, they do not measure up to LoJack's technical superiority, not to mention LoJack's exclusive collaboration with law enforcement agencies.

LoJack vs. GPS Recovery

The reason LoJack works so successfully is its Tracking Signal Technology. The LoJack Vehicle Recovery System uses Radio Frequency signals, while GPS uses microwave signals to find a vehicle.

The LoJack Radio Frequency signal can "see" your stolen vehicle if it's inside a building or even when it's hidden in a truck. This Signal Technology is why LoJack and Police forces achieve more than a 90 percent success rate at vehicle recovery. Industry averages for vehicle recovery tend to be roughly 25 percent to 30 percent.

LoJack is Quick to Act

As soon as you report your vehicle stolen and a police report is filed, Police activate your car's LoJack Unit. Authorities can track and recover your car by pinpointing its exact location, often returning the vehicle within several hours of when it was reported stolen to police. GPS recovery does not provide the same results, due to its limited technology.
