Portable GPS Tracker in Aravalli: Battery Tracker for Farm Trucks, Stone Haulage and Fair Gear

Aravalli district was carved out of Sabarkantha in 2013, and its headquarters is Modasa. Its talukas are Modasa, Bhiloda, Malpur, Meghraj, Dhansura, Bayad, Shamlaji and Sathamba. Sabarkantha lies to the north-west and north, Gandhinagar and Kheda to the south, Mahisagar to the south-east, and the hills of Rajasthan stand on the other side of the eastern border. The Mazum and Watrak rivers cross the district, and the Meshwo flows past Shamlaji. Roads here switch between flat farm belts and winding stretches near the hills, and the Ahmedabad to Udaipur highway, NH 48, runs close to Shamlaji and carries a steady line of trucks, buses and cars through the area.

Modasa is the main trading town and is known as a centre for farm produce, with colleges and hospitals that draw people from many villages. Industrial areas exist at Modasa, Bhiloda, Malpur and Dhansura, though factories are small, and a solar power plant stands at Kharoda near Modasa. Groundnut, castor, cotton, wheat and millet come to market yards from the surrounding villages. In the hill talukas of Bhiloda, Meghraj and Malpur, stone and clay are quarried and forest produce such as bamboo and mahua is collected, and these loads need tippers and trucks that travel on narrow roads with little help nearby.

Shamlaji is the temple town that most visitors know. A Vishnu shrine stands on the bank of the Meshwo river in a wooded valley, and a large fair is held there on Kartik Purnima, when many pilgrims arrive in buses, jeeps and tractors. Traders sell silver ornaments and clothes at the fair, and tent and sound-system hirers set up on the grounds. A district like this has many items that belong to one person and work under the hands of another: a trolley lent to a neighbour, a JCB hired for a week, a tent set sent out for the fair. A magnetic tracker lets the owner see where the item stands, without a long phone call.

The main lane out of Aravalli runs south-west along NH 48 through Himmatnagar to Ahmedabad, where farm produce and stone find larger buyers. A second lane runs north-east toward Udaipur, with Dungarpur on the way, which is where tourist buses and some goods move. A third goes south toward Kheda and Nadiad, and a fourth south-east through Malpur toward Mahisagar and Panchmahal. Trips to Ahmedabad take a few hours, and a fast interval costs almost nothing there.

Runs toward Udaipur cross hills where mobile signal can fade, and the tracker will report again as soon as the Airtel network comes back. A long trip with halts of interest, such as a night at a fair ground, suits a middle interval that shows the direction of travel and spares the battery. A tipper doing short loops between a quarry and a site is better on a fast interval. BearTech sets the interval when you order, so write your main lane in the WhatsApp message and we shall suggest a mode.

For goods that leave the district by rail from a station on the line to Himmatnagar or Ahmedabad, track only the road leg and move the device afterwards. Spare units sitting in your office can stay on a daily mode and be fully charged, ready for the next job, which saves a call to us at the last minute.

The BT900 shows location and nothing else. It does not read fuel level, it gives no alert for an opened door or a broken seal, it has no temperature sensor, and it gives no engine ON/OFF signal. It is not a lock and cannot stop a vehicle. It is not meant for cold chain, it is too bulky for small parcels, and for sea or rail containers it should be used only on the road leg with the unit outside. Accuracy is 25 to 30 m. It works on a 2G-3G Airtel SIM, so a valley without signal delays the update until the network returns.

Use it for your own goods, equipment or vehicles, or where the owner has given written consent. Do not track a person, a spouse or an employee without their clear agreement.
