Track What''s Important

How It Works

The GTU 10 is small, lightweight and waterproof. It easily attaches to a backpack, pet collar or whatever is important to you.

When you purchase a new GTU 10, it comes with 1 year of Standard Tracking (coverage dependent on GSM wireless service within the U.S.), so you''ll be ready to go once you register and activate it in your Garmin account.

Then, you can view the location of your GTU 10 on a map from the friendly confines of your computer. For an added level of convenience, you can download the free Garmin Tracker app for your mobile device to compare your current location to the direction and location of your GTU 10. For the ability to automatically route to your GTU 10, you can use a Garmin nüLink! device.

Using your computer or mobile device, you can also:

Create up to 10 geofences (virtual boundaries) for your device. When your GTU 10 enters or exits a geofence, we can send you an email or text message notification.
View track history of where your GTU 10 has been.
Customize device settings for optimal performance, including low battery/powered off notifications to let you know when it''s time to recharge or when the device has been turned off.

Make It Yours

Attach your GTU 10 to what you want to track.

Your GTU 10 enters or exits a geofence that you set up.

Garmin notifies you with an email or text message.

You can also locate your GTU 10 on your computer or mobile device.

The features of the GTU 10 are so flexible, allowing you to use it to fit your lifestyle:

Travelers
Locate luggage and belongings so nothing gets left behind or lost.

Parents
Track your children on their way to school to make sure they arrive safely.

Pet Owners
Receive notifications when your pet exits a geofence so you can go track it down.

Runners
Let friends or family track your whereabouts on your daily run, or your progress on race day.

Important information

Safety Information :

I just talked on the phone to the GTU 10 support team at Garmin International. They have added a tracking subscription for the device. The following paragraph is from the email they sent me on Friday, July 24, 2015 at 1_02 PM Subject - GTU 10 Standard Tracking Subscription ... Reference ID 5326069 ... Q 1000062 Thank you for contacting Garmin International. The standard tracking subscription you requested has been added to your GTU 10 device. Please log in to your mygarmin account to ensure the subscription has been activated. In addition, you may need to power cycle the device with a clear view of the sky to allow it to reacquire satellites. With Best Regards, Stephanie (8996381) Customer Care - Mobile Team FYI - On the website for the Garmin GTU 10, there is a disclaimer that reads The connected services provider for your GTU 10 has determined to cease operations of its 2G network by approximately Jan. 1, 2016. Unfortunately, the third-party services necessary to support the network connectivity operations of your GTU 10 unit will be impacted. At this time, there is no viable alternative of such services; therefore, after such date your GTU10 unit will no longer be operational. We apologize for the inconvenience. You can access the GTU10 website at https buy dot garmin dot com_en-US_US_prod67686 dot html So: The device is activated now (for free), but it will become non-functional sometime around Jan. 1, 2016. That is why I listed it at a price of Forty dollars. I bought it from Amazon for Two Hundred dollars plus tax and shipping. If you''re interested in using it just for five months [Tha''s less than ten dollars per month], please contact me again, or just buy it from Amazon for Forty dollars and I''ll send it to you.
