5 out of 5 stars No stars! No customer support at all!   May 25, 2009

Boy, was I wrong about this product. Bought the unit in April. Unit stopped working early July. Called Customer service 5 time in 2 weeks. Keep getting the same scripted excuses and delay, but no real resolution.

Do Not expect any real customer service nor tech support! Currently search for alternative replacement.

Previous review of this product:
"After weeks of research, I purchased this GPS locator for my young kids. It works great. Received text alert when the locator is out of the safe zone. I can check location on my i phone through the web site. It alerts me again when back in safe zone. Overall, it worked exactly as promised. Great product!"

I have two Zoombaks-one in each car. I feel so comfortable knowing that when my nanny is out with my kids, in either car, I can see where she is at any given moment. I don't allow my nanny to speak on her cell phone while she's driving my children around, so this is the best and safest way for me to check her whereabouts without calling her. While I trust my nanny, this feels like an second layer of security. I installed the device in the cars and I never have to think about charging it. It's as easy as plug and go. The monthly service charges are very reasonable for my peace of mind. The only downside is that my husband occasionally checks the cars' locations from his computer at work and finds me shopping at the mall a little too often. Great device!!!!!

Delivered quickly and works great. It is dealing with satellites, so there are moments it will not receive the signal. But everytime if I wait about 2 minutes, it has it's signal.


4 out of 5 stars Good if you are OK with its limitations   September 4, 2009

This is really the first low cost/low monthly fee GPS location device on the market and it really does work well as long as you understand and are OK with what it can/can not do.

PROS
Cost - $40 after rebate is amazing and the monthly fee is modest as well
Size - very small and easy to carry, install, or conceal
Construction quality - rubber housing, rubber armored buttons
Ease of use - One one button on the device for ON/OFF with all other programming does via Web
Included accessories - They include a car and home charger with the Universal kit as well as a very nice carrying case
Event setup/reporting - you can have speed events, low battery events, and zone events with emails or SMS notificaitons

CONS
Battery life - we get ~45 hours with a total 20 location requests/events per charge which is far less than the 5 day/150 event figure they state
GPS lock ability - This is mixed sometimes taking over an hour after power on to get a fix and sometimes only a few seconds in the same conditions
Speed of event reporting - Once the unit has 'warmed up' and reported an event other events are reported quickly (0-3 min after they happen) but it can take up to an HOUR for an event to be processed/reported in some cases. For example, when we leave home in the AM and arrive at a different zone 20 min later it might be another 20 min before we get the SMSs that say we have left one zone and arrived in another.

Clearly this is not a 'real time' tracking device in the way that the $300/$30/month units are and the battery life is, IMO, poor. That said, the unit really does a good job for what it is and we are pleased with it. If installed in a car the battery issues go away so that would make for a better experience I think.

I use this as a portable unit, and it's working great. Only problem I have is after charging, it needs to be turned "on" again, which is easy to forget to do. Otherwise, it works as advertised and is worth the price.
