They update the data every 60 to 180 seconds, which varies depending on which plan you choose.

This is suitable for most situations on our fleet management application. Most models can be enhanced so that they can be updated faster, but this costs more because it uses more data. Contact customer support if you are not sure which tracking device to choose.
