Whether you've just unboxed a GF-07 mini tracker or another budget-friendly GPS locator, you likely encountered the
platform in your manual. This web-based portal acts as the command center for your device, allowing you to track movement in real-time and review historical data.
Here is a step-by-step guide to getting your tracker online and synced with the portal. 1. Prepare Your Hardware gpsuinet setup
Before touching the software, your tracker needs a "brain" and a way to communicate:
Insert a standard SIM card into the device's slot. Ensure the PIN code is disabled and it has an active data/SMS plan. Memory Card:
Most devices like the GF-07 require a micro TF/SD card to store recordings or local logs.
Once the cards are in, the indicator light (usually red) should flash or stay on briefly to indicate it is in standby mode. 2. Bind the Master Number
You must tell the device which phone is "in charge" so only you can request its location. The Command: Send an SMS with the text to the phone number assigned to the tracker's SIM card. Confirmation:
The device should reply with a message confirming the "Binding + master number" is set. 3. Retrieve Your Login Credentials To use the
web platform or mobile app, you need a specific account linked to your hardware. Request Credentials: Send an SMS with the code to the tracker. The Response:
The device will reply with an account name (often the device's ID or IMEI) and a default password. 4. Logging into GPSUI.net Now that you have your credentials, head to the GPSUI Tracking Portal [Unit] Description=gpsuinet GPS daemon After=network
Log in using the account and password received in the previous step.
Once inside, you can view the "Positioning track query" to see where the device has been, set up "Electronic fences" (geofencing), and check battery levels. Quick SMS Command Cheat Sheet
If you don't want to use the web portal, you can control the device directly via text:
: Sends you a direct Google Maps link of the current location.
: Activates "Voice-activated callback"—the device calls you if it detects sound above 40 decibels. : Starts a separate audio recording to the TF card. : Resets all tasks.
Always ensure your tracker is charged. If the battery drops below 5%, it may fail to send location data or connect to the server. set up geofencing alerts

If you want, tell me your OS and device name (e.g., /dev/ttyUSB0 or /dev/cu.usbmodem123) and I’ll produce an exact command line and a systemd unit tailored to it. Even with careful planning, problems arise

Now, configure how the GPSUINet communicates with your LAN or WAN.
The most critical part of the hardware setup is ensuring the Serial connection for the GPS does not conflict with the USB programming port.
Standard ESP32 Wiring Schema:
| Component | Pin | Connects To | Function | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | GPS Module | VCC | 3.3V / 5V | Power | | | GND | GND | Ground | | | TX | ESP32 RX (e.g., GPIO 16) | Data to MCU | | | RX | ESP32 TX (e.g., GPIO 17) | Data to GPS | | TFT Display | MOSI | GPIO 23 | SPI Data | | | MISO | GPIO 19 | SPI Data In | | | SCK | GPIO 18 | SPI Clock | | | CS | GPIO 5 | Chip Select | | | DC | GPIO 2 | Data/Command | | | RST | EN or GPIO 4 | Reset |
Note: Avoid using GPIO 0, 2, 12, and 15 during boot if you encounter flashing issues.
The immediate impression of the GPSUINET setup interface is that it was designed in the late 90s or early 2000s—and hasn't changed since.
