Hello to the experts, I have a RUT955 and am traveling by motorhome. Connection via SIM and o2 works very well so I have internet. The question I have as a beginner and standard user is how can I set it up so that I can use my motorhome with the GPS function? I would like to see where I am on my cell phone or tablet and if it is stolen we can see where it is. Is there a service or tool that is free of charge and could use the GPS function / tracking? Many thanks to everyone for their feedback. greetz, Mark
Good afternoon,
You can certainly use the GPS functionality with RUT955.
Attach the included GPS antenna to the RUT955 and place it where it has a clear view of the sky, ideally near a window or on the dashboard. This is essential for getting a strong GPS signal.
Log in to the RUT955’s web interface (usually via your browser at 192.168.1.1).
Go to the GPS settings section (In Services in WEBUI).
Enable the GPS service. You can also enable support for additional satellite systems (GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou) if desired, but basic GPS is enough for most users.
The RUT955 can be configured to send its GPS data to a remote server. In the GPS settings, enable “GPS data to server” and enter the details of the server you want to use.
Free open-source GPS tracking platforms like GPS-Server.net or Traccar (traccar.org) can be used. You’ll need to set up an account and configure the server address and port in your RUT955.
There are commercial GPS trackers with no subscription fees, such as the Back2You tracker, which sends its location via SMS and shows it on Google Maps. These are separate devices, not using the RUT955, but they offer a simple alternative for theft protection if you prefer a plug-and-play solution.
I do need to note, that the device has the functionality, however it has not been tested with third party applications, so it will be up to yourself, or other forum members to advise on how it operates when it is actually deployed.

Hello Arturas, thanks for the feedback. I have stored the steps for Traccar in RUT955. Unfortunately, the GPS does not work with the Traccar service. Demo Servers - Traccar I have used server 4. Under Services, GPS, MAPS I can see my location so the GPS Signat & Antenna works. What do you have to set for the free service? Thanks for the technical support
