Does the magnet block the GPS signal?
Powerful magnets can damage your GPS equipment, but because of the way magnets are designed on vehicle tracking equipment, they usually do not. First, magnets need to be strong enough to disrupt particles, thus disrupting GPS and similar technologies. In context, such a powerful magnet will reduce iron in blood cells! Most GPS car trackers are designed with surface magnets, so they can be connected to the outside of the vehicle, but they are designed to be far away from the antenna receiving radio signals from GPS satellites. This gives the tracker more versatility in placement options, while allowing the built-in antenna not to block GPS signals with magnets.

GPS equipment receives microwave transmission from satellite broadcasting network around the earth. After receiving signals from three or more satellites, the tracking system uses a series of timing calculations and triangulation to calculate its position. The receiver relies on these precise and specific radio transmissions to obtain accurate coordinates. The GPS tracking gadget then sends the coordinate data to the monitoring site, usually through a cellular connection.
In rare cases, satellite failure or solar radiation will temporarily affect the transmission of GPS signals. On the other hand, the GPS jammer uses the same frequency as the GPS device to transmit radio transmission or signal noise. The GPS satellite signal may be covered or distorted as a result. The GPS gadget cannot calculate its location because the satellite signal is blocked by interference. Aluminum foil, dense materials, metal boxes and silver containers are some materials that can act as GPS jammers.
