The BN-311C is a compact 2G GPS tracker engineered for motorcycle and small-vehicle tracking. Built for concealed hardwired installation and continuous operation on 12–24 V systems, the BN-311C pairs with Vista GPS-compatible platforms to deliver reliable real-time tracking, event alerts, and basic fleet management features. Its small form factor and focused anti-theft capabilities make it a practical choice for owners and operators who need discreet monitoring and remote immobilization options.
Designed as a simple motorcycle management terminal, the BN-311C combines GNSS positioning with GSM/GPRS communications to feed location, telemetry and alarm data into Vista GPS for live monitoring, route playback, geo-fencing and push notifications. The C-type model includes remote-control functions such as remote arming/disarming and remote fuel/power cut-off (immobilizer), which integrate with Vista GPS workflows for security and operational control.

How It Works with Vista GPS
When installed and configured, the BN-311C continuously or intermittently reports GNSS coordinates and status messages to Vista GPS using GSM/GPRS. Vista GPS consumes the device’s TCP/UDP or SMS messages to provide live location maps, telemetry dashboards, event-driven alerts and historical route playback. The unit’s alarm and remote-control features are surfaced in Vista GPS as actionable events you can monitor and respond to in real time.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates delivered to Vista GPS for live tracking and route playback.
- Ignition (ACC) status and ACC working notifications for monitoring vehicle usage and start/stop events.
- Alarm reporting for overspeed, geo-fence breach, movement, shock and external power disconnection—displayed as Vista GPS alerts and push notifications.
- Remote immobilizer control (remote fuel/power cut-off) supported on the C-type model and accessible via Vista GPS workflows or the supplied remote control accessory.
- SOS emergency alarm and remote wake-up events transmitted to Vista GPS for immediate attention and response.

Why Choose This Tracker with Vista GPS
The BN-311C is purpose-built for riders and small-vehicle operators who need a discreet, Vista GPS compatible GPS tracker with dependable real-time tracking and basic telemetry. Its hardwired design with a backup battery ensures continued reporting even when external power is lost, and the C-type remote-control features provide practical anti-theft capabilities such as remote fuel/power cut-off and remote arming. Combined with Vista GPS’s platform features—live maps, geo-fences, push notifications and route history—the BN-311C offers a cost-effective way to add anti-theft protection, ignition monitoring and simple fleet management to motorcycles and similar assets.
While the BN-311C focuses on reliable GNSS/GSM tracking and immobilization, Vista GPS’s ecosystem also supports extended integrations (for example, Bluetooth sensors when available through the platform) so you can expand telemetry—such as temperature or additional sensor data—if your operational needs grow. For installers and fleet managers, the small size, simple wiring harness and accessory options (relay, harness, remote control, optional siren) make the BN-311C an easy-to-deploy, Vista GPS-compatible choice for motorcycle and light-vehicle monitoring.
