How to track car location?

I’m thinking about tracking my car location (for safety reasons). What’s the easiest way to do it in 2026? GPS device or app?

For basic car tracking, a GPS device is usually more reliable, from what I’ve seen. Apps can be handy, but their accuracy depends on a stable cell signal and sometimes they drain the phone battery. A dedicated GPS tracker will keep working even if the phone is off.

Also, think about where you’re parking. If it’s often in a garage or underground, some GPS devices might struggle to get a signal. Just something to keep in mind.
