What are GPS Blockers,Scramblers & Signal Jammers?
GPS signal jammers send out a radio signal at the exact same frequency as the GPS device which overrides the signals sent out by the satellite. When this occurs, a GPS tracking device is unable to determine its exact location because the scrambler is interfering with its signal.
GPS blockers are generally small in size and simple to install. They take less than a minute to power on and can be discreetly installed and removed. GPS tracker jammers are widely available and often cheap.
Types of GPS Blockers
The easiest way to stop a GPS tracker from working is to destroy the device so it can’t function. However, there are many ways to achieve a similar result in a more discreet way by using technology.
Mobile Phone Jammers
It may surprise some to know that cell phones also use GPS jammers signals. Mobile phone jammers prevent the exchange of real-time location information—one of the most important data points for monitoring drivers. Cell phone jammers are also widely available online, however, this technology is much more expensive than other options.
GPS Scrambling Gadgets
GPS scrambling gadgets are widely available online for less than a hundred dollars. These devices are simple to operate and can be discreetly installed and removed. They emit a frequency that blocks incoming and outgoing GPS signals and jam GPS devices from functioning properly.
A Metal Box
The simplest way to stop a GPS tracking device from functioning is to place it in a metal box. Any electrically conductive metal will reflect and absorb the device’s incoming and outgoing signals and interfere with its operation. Wrapping a GPS tracker in aluminum foil is enough to do the job—although copper and even silver work as well. This is an incredibly cheap and easy method of GPS jamming.
