tracking devices
GPS beacon units
Tracking devices are electronic instruments that monitor and report the location of people, animals, vehicles, or objects.
GPS trackers attached to cars, ankle monitors worn by parolees, and tags on wildlife all qualify.
The term often carries surveillance connotations: She found a tracking device hidden under her car.
Smartphones function as tracking devices whether users realize it or not.
