PBN-TT-GPS – Professional GPS Tracker & Magnet Detector
Worried About GPS Trackers on Your Vehicle?
GPS tracking has become increasingly common — from smartphones to covert devices. While many trackers are used for harmless data collection, others may be placed with malicious intent. If you’re going through a divorce, dealing with harassment, or suspect you’re under surveillance, it’s essential to check your vehicle for hidden GPS trackers.
Detect Covert Trackers in Two Powerful Ways
TraceTrack combines two proven detection technologies:
RF Signal Detection for 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G transmissions used by real-time GPS trackers.
Magnet Detection to locate magnetic-mount trackers, even when powered off or passive.
How TraceTrack Works
RF Signal Detection Mode
The built-in telescopic antenna scans for common GPS tracker signals (GSM, 2G–5G).
Use the (+/-) buttons to adjust sensitivity across six levels.
Hold the (+) button to toggle between 2G/4G and 3G modes.
For best results, conduct sweeps in low-signal areas like quiet roads or empty parking lots.
Trackers often “wake up” during motion—watch for signal bursts as the vehicle moves.
Magnet Detection Mode
Attach the magnet sensor to the base of the unit and press the red button to activate.
Directional LED indicators will light up to show where a magnet is located.
Sweep bumpers, undercarriage, and wheel wells to find magnetic mounts used by GPS devices or hidden key holders.
Why Choose TraceTrack?
Unlike standard bug detectors, TraceTrack is engineered specifically for GPS tracking threats — both real-time and passive.
Passive trackers don’t emit signals, but TraceTrack’s magnet detector can still find them.

Can this detector find GPS trackers attached under a vehicle with magnets?
Yes. The magnet-detection attachment is designed specifically to locate magnet-mounted GPS trackers on the underside of a vehicle.
Will it detect a GPS tracker if it’s powered off or not transmitting?
Yes. Even when a tracker is dormant or powered off, the magnetic sensor can identify the magnetic components used in most GPS units.
How effective is it at checking wheel arches, bumpers, and chassis rails?
Highly effective. These are the most common hiding spots, and the attachment is purpose-built to sweep them thoroughly.
Does the magnet detector help find passive or dormant trackers?
Absolutely. The magnet sensor highlights magnetised objects even when there is no RF activity.
Can it detect GSM or GPRS-based GPS trackers?
Yes. The RF detection function identifies GSM/GPRS signals commonly used by live trackers.
How long does a full vehicle sweep take?
A complete sweep usually takes 10–15 minutes, depending on the size and layout of the vehicle.
Is this detector suitable for fleet vehicles and company cars?
Yes. It’s ideal for fleets, contractor vans, company cars, and any vehicle that is parked in public or uncontrolled spaces.
Does it detect both cheap consumer trackers and more advanced models?
Yes. It covers both signal-based trackers and magnet-mounted units, giving you broad detection coverage.
Case Study : Routine Vehicle Sweeps Using the TraceTrack GPS Detector
Their concern wasn’t corporate espionage. Instead, it reflected a growing trend: low-cost consumer GPS trackers being used in situations such as employee disputes, insurance fraud, unauthorised monitoring, targeted theft, or even relationship-driven tracking of drivers. With multiple vehicles on the road daily, the company needed a system their supervisors could use confidently and regularly.
The Requirement
The company outlined three key operational needs:
- A tool designed specifically for vehicle sweeps
- The ability to detect trackers placed under arches, bumpers, chassis rails or panels
- A system drivers or supervisors could use weekly without technical training
They also noted that most consumer GPS units use strong magnetic mounts, allowing anyone to attach one in seconds — meaning the solution needed both RF detection and magnetic identification.
The Solution: TraceTrack GPS Detector
We supplied the team with the TraceTrack GPS Detector, engineered specifically for vehicle-focused detection tasks. A key advantage was the magnetic detection attachment, which helps identify magnetised components commonly found in:
- Standalone GPS tracking units
- GSM/GPRS reporting modules
- Battery-powered long-term trackers
- Low-cost magnetic car trackers sold online
Even if a tracker is powered off or not transmitting, the magnetic detection feature allows staff to find hidden attachments during physical sweeps. Combined with RF scanning capability, the company gained two layers of defence:
- Signal detection – identifying active GSM/GPS/GPRS transmissions
- Magnet detection – locating dormant or powered-off trackers
This dual approach matches what most real-world vehicle sweeps genuinely require.
How They Used It
The company adopted a simple weekly sweep routine:
- Supervisors run a 2–4 minute sweep per vehicle
- Magnet detector is used on wheel arches, bumpers, rails and underbody areas
- RF scanning is used inside the cabin and around the vehicle perimeter
- Any unusual magnetic signature triggers a manual inspection
- A sweep log is completed for internal documentation
The system was easy enough that no specialist training was required.
Outcome
After integrating TraceTrack into weekly fleet checks, the company reported:
- Greater peace of mind for drivers who had raised concerns
- A repeatable and defensible sweep process
- Two magnetised objects found on underbody panels (not trackers, but justified the process)
- Lower anxiety among operational staff
- Faster escalation procedures when anything unusual is detected
- Improved customer trust when handling sensitive delivery routes
Management noted that TraceTrack was the first practical solution they could operate without external contractors.
Why This Case Study Matters
Vehicle-mounted trackers are inexpensive, easy to attach and widely available — often under £50 — making unauthorised tracking a realistic concern for any organisation running vehicles.
Businesses with:
- Company cars
- Fleet vans
- Service or contractor vehicles
- Mobile response units
- Staff who take vehicles home
- Routes involving sensitive or high-value clients
…all face the possibility of unauthorised tracking at some point.
The TraceTrack GPS Detector offers a simple, vehicle-specific sweep process capable of detecting:
- Active tracker transmissions
- Hidden powered-off trackers
- Magnet-mounted devices
- Suspicious underbody components
It requires no specialist training and fits seamlessly into weekly maintenance or inspection routines.
