What? So, we had it upgraded. Come 2022, sorry, need to pay $400 + labor to upgrade to 4G. What? This is on top of them sending you a letter every year stating that you need to call them to confirm account information, and if you don't they deactivate your account. Canceled our service, what a scam. If not a scam, a total bait and switch. Don't sell me a lifetime plan without telling me I'm going to end up spending thousands of dollars to upgrade their hardware over time. If the router your internet provider gave you gets outdated, they send you a new one for free, its included in the service you paid for, as the service doesn't work without the router, same concept with Guidepoint's hardware. I paid for lifetime, but now lose out on that money because I don't want to keep giving them money to upgrade their hardware every few years. ### 4/5 — The system has been working *2020-03-05, version 20.3.2* I have had GuidePoint on my truck for 18 months now. It has always reported location when requested to do so through the app. The system has also tracked my wanderings thru several states and Canadian provinces in great detail. I have not tried the Concierge service, probably should read how to do that. I tested the vibration sensing accidentally by closing a door without turning VIP off. They called me and after going thru the identification process turned it off. Don't try it, it's not a speedy process turning off the horn. This gets me to what I consider to be a major flaw in the app/system. There is no indication in the app that VIP is on. There is no indication that the vehicle has actually received the command and that VIP has actually turned on. The app indicates "Command Successful" but what does that mean? That the app and my iPhone sent out a command via the cell service to GuidePoint? Did GuidePoint get the command? Did my truck get the command? You can see an open loop here. Maybe this feedback loop is well beyond the capabilities of the system. My concern is forgetting that the VIP is on and waking half the neighbors when I close a door or go over a bump. I want my iPhone to continually blink at me when VIP is on and the vehicle is armed. Tracking and location determination have worked very well in my year and a half experience. Update. 12-25-17 I have been using this iOS app and it has been tracking me everywhere. Shows my trips, parked locations, weekly summaries. Easy to use. Of course the app still operates within the scope and confines of the system in how it communicates on arming VIP as described above. Update 03-04-20. The app has been following me and recording trips in US Northeast and up into Canada. Also took it on iPad for exploring Normandy area in France. Worked fine. I don’t have the truck camper so bridge heights are no longer a concern. ### 5/5 — Posed *2019-01-14, version 20.2.0* Been using this tracking app for 6 months and I love it. Very easy to use. ### 5/5 — Very straight forward *2019-01-14, version 20.2.0* Very nice tool. Does exactly what it promises. ### 5/5 — My son *2019-01-13, version 20.2.0* Great app to know my son is being a safe driver ### 5/5 — Great product *2019-01-12, version 20.2.0* Love it ### 1/5 — Awful app *2018-12-20, version 20.2.0* I am kind of a stickler for design and this app doesn’t do well as far as its functionality nor does it make sense as far as the workflow. It barely can tell me where my car is located and it’s definitely not intuitive. Steer clear away from this product! ### 2/5 — Settings are not obvious *2018-09-13, version 20.2.0* I've been using this service for about two days now and am pretty underwhelmed with how the app functions for certain features. For Valet Mode and VIP, two very important functions, there is no obvious way of knowing if they are active or not. A simple on/off toggle switch is all it would take. As is, the app only pops up a quick message that the selected settings are on or off, but nothing is visible to confirm that once the message disappears. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2018-06-07, version 20.1.0* No support. Never works. What a waste. Run from this ## Frequently asked questions about Guidepoint Vehicle Locator ### What does the Guidepoint Vehicle Locator app do?
