GlobalSat - DG-388

The GlobalSat DG-388 is a compact, rugged GPS data logger that integrates smoothly into Plaspy workflows for historical route import, telemetry analysis, and activity reporting. Designed for personal tracking and outdoor use, the DG-388 captures precise location points along with time, date, speed and altitude using a modern high-performance GNSS chipset — making it an excellent source of accurate telemetry for Plaspy-compatible projects.

Lightweight and IPX7 waterproof, the DG-388 is built to record long-duration journeys without a tethered connection. Its smart power management, rechargeable battery and large onboard memory let you capture up to 500,000 points and more than 50 hours of operation (depending on logging settings). Use the supplied PC tool to export recorded tracks for import into Plaspy, enabling route history, activity analysis and offline evidence for anti-theft or safety use cases.

Key Highlights

• Plaspy compatible for historical route import — export logged tracks with the included PC tool for easy ingestion into Plaspy dashboards and reports.
• High-performance GNSS chipset delivers faster satellite fixes and improved location accuracy for reliable telemetry and speed profiling.
• Large onboard capacity: logs up to 500,000 location points to capture long trips and detailed route history without frequent downloads.
• Rugged, waterproof design (IPX7) and compact form factor (107.5 x 38.7 x 22.8 mm, 73 g) for dependable use in outdoor sports and travel.
• Smart power management and rechargeable battery provide more than 50 hours of operation (varies by settings), ideal for extended activity tracking.
• Built-in motion sensor, vibrator and beeper support low-power automatic logging and immediate feedback — handy for personal safety monitoring and elder-care activity tracking.
• Flexible logging modes (time, distance or speed intervals) let you tailor data collection for activity recording, route analysis, or telemetry export.

How It Works with Plaspy

The DG-388 is a dedicated GPS data logger rather than a live cellular tracker; it records detailed location and telemetry locally and then exports that data for analysis. With the provided PC tool you can download logged sessions, review tracks on mapping platforms and export standard track files that Plaspy can ingest for further processing. This makes the DG-388 an ideal source of high-quality historical telemetry to complement Plaspy's real-time and fleet management capabilities.

• Recorded location and telemetry: time, date, speed, altitude and precise coordinates for accurate route reconstruction.
• Batch upload of logged sessions via the PC tool for Plaspy import and archival — useful when live GSM/4G is not required.
• Motion events and activity markers (from the built-in motion sensor) provide event-based filtering of tracks in Plaspy.
• Flexible interval logging (time, distance, speed) enables optimized data density for Plaspy analytics and reporting.
• Compact offline device suitable for personal tracking, travel logs, and evidence collection to support anti-theft or incident review workflows.

Technical Overview

Use Cases

• Outdoor sports and adventure: record hiking, cycling and running routes with interval-based logging for detailed performance review.
• Travel route history: log long-distance trips and export tracks to Plaspy for mapping, timelines and trip analytics.
• Personal safety and elder care: motion-triggered logging and audible/vibrate alerts provide passive monitoring and activity records.
• Evidence and anti-theft support: use recorded tracks to reconstruct movements after an incident or to provide location evidence to authorities.
• Offline asset or equipment tracking: capture location history for non-powered assets or equipment where real-time GSM tracking is not required.

Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy

The DG-388 pairs with Plaspy as a dependable source of accurate, high-resolution telemetry when on-device logging is preferred or cellular coverage is limited. It delivers reliable GNSS fixes, versatile logging modes and long record capacity, making it simple to gather route history and telemetry for later import into Plaspy. Use the DG-388 to enrich fleet management or personal-tracking records with verified historical data — without relying on live connectivity, immobilizer controls, or Bluetooth sensors.

In short, choose the GlobalSat DG-388 for straightforward, rugged, Plaspy-compatible logging of GPS tracks and telemetry when you need precise offline records, flexible logging strategies, and a compact waterproof package.
