MiniFinder Pico — Plaspy Compatible GPS Tracker for Personal Safety & Assets
The MiniFinder Pico is a compact, discreet GPS tracker and keyring alarm from MiniFinder designed for personal safety, vulnerable people and small-asset protection. Small enough to fit on a lanyard or in a pocket, Pico delivers reliable real-time tracking, SOS alerting and intelligent alarms. It's fully Plaspy compatible, making it easy to add high-precision location telemetry and incident notifications into your Plaspy-enabled workflows.
Built for everyday use and simple fleet or asset rollouts, Pico pairs precise GNSS positioning with accelerometer-based motion detection and robust roaming connectivity across many regions. When integrated with Plaspy, the device strengthens anti-theft measures, lone-worker monitoring and centralized telematics reporting without sacrificing wearability or battery life.
Key Highlights

- Compact keyring form factor (60 × 41 × 16 mm, ~40 g) — ideal for keys, lanyards or discreet placement with valuables.
- High-accuracy GNSS with u‑Blox MAX M8 + A‑GPS delivering 0–5 m outdoor positioning for reliable telemetry.
- Multi-network roaming (LTE bands and GSM 900/1800) for broad regional coverage in 190+ countries.
- Integrated SOS button and two-way calling to preset contacts for rapid incident response and personal safety.
- Smart alarms: geofencing, fall detection, motion/speed alerts, low battery and loss-of-GPS warnings.
- Waterproof IPX7 rating and solid battery performance — typical 36–40 hours at 5-minute reporting intervals.
How It Works with Plaspy
When you register MiniFinder Pico with Plaspy, location and event data feed directly into Plaspy’s dashboard and alerting engine so teams can monitor devices in real time, receive alarms and run historical playback. Pico’s event-driven reporting (SOS, fall, geofence entry/exit, motion/speed and battery alerts) becomes actionable telemetry inside Plaspy for centralized incident handling and reporting.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates delivered to Plaspy for live tracking and map display.
- SOS alerts and two-way call events can be forwarded to Plaspy operators or monitoring centers for immediate response.
- Geofence events and movement/fall detection generate automated Plaspy notifications for rapid intervention.
- Stored position history (up to one year in the device ecosystem) supports playback and route analysis within Plaspy.
- Low-battery and GPS-signal-loss alerts appear in Plaspy so maintenance and connectivity issues are acted on quickly.

Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy
MiniFinder Pico is a reliable, easy-to-deploy GPS tracker that brings precision GNSS, essential safety features and broad cellular roaming into Plaspy-enabled solutions. Its blend of compact form factor, proven u‑Blox positioning and accelerometer-driven alarms makes it a practical choice for organizations and private users who need discreet real-time tracking and dependable telemetry. By integrating Pico into Plaspy, teams gain a consistent source of location data and events that complements fleet management, anti-theft procedures and monitoring center workflows.
For deployments that also require fuel monitoring, ignition or immobilizer control, or Bluetooth sensors, Pico can serve as the positional and alarm core while Plaspy manages richer telematics data — check integration options for external telematics adapters or additional sensors. Accessories such as charging stations, wearable necklaces and vehicle power converters simplify installation and keep devices online for continuous real-time tracking.
