The DG-388AT is a compact, Vista GPS compatible GPS tracker-style data logger built for personal and light-asset tracking where reliable route history matters more than continuous cellular telemetry. Designed as a standalone GPS logger with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) connectivity, the DG-388AT records time, date, speed, altitude and GPS coordinates to create detailed route histories that can be exported and consumed by Vista GPS for analysis, visualization and reporting.
Lightweight, rugged and IPX7 water-proof (when used without external cables), the DG-388AT balances long battery life with dense waypoint storage so you can capture long excursions without frequent downloads. Its BLE pairing and ez-Connect app support make it straightforward to retrieve logs, convert to GPX and import into Vista GPS to support telemetry workflows, historical fleet or asset movement review, and personal activity logging.
Key Highlights
- Vista GPS compatible via GPX export and ez-Connect integration—easy import of recorded routes and telemetry history.
- Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) pairing for simple data transfer to iOS and Android devices—no cellular subscription required.
- Massive waypoint capacity—stores up to 500,000 waypoints for long-term logging without frequent offloads.
- Long battery runtime—built-in 820 mAh rechargeable battery delivers more than 50 hours of typical logging operation.
- Rugged, water-resistant design—meets IPX7 rating (when no external cables are attached) for outdoor and active use.
- Flexible logging modes—time interval, distance-based and speed-based recording to match activity and telemetry needs.
- On-device POI recording and G-sensor assisted power saving—intelligent capture and extended uptime on a single charge.
How It Works with Vista GPS
The DG-388AT integrates with Vista GPS workflows primarily through data export and import. Users pair the logger to a smartphone or tablet using BLE and the ez-Connect app to retrieve recorded tracks in GPX format. Those GPX files are then uploaded to Vista GPS to produce maps, journey analytics and history-based telemetry that Vista GPS can use alongside other GPS tracker sources.
- On-demand position retrieval and download via BLE when paired to a smartphone, tablet or BLE-enabled laptop.
- Export routes to GPX using ez-Connect for reliable import into Vista GPS for mapping and analytics.
- Recorded telemetry includes time, date, speed, altitude and GPS coordinates—suitable for historical route reconstruction.
- POI and waypoint data can be included in the export so Vista GPS receives contextual markers along a route.
- Use the supplied PC utility to visualize tracks in Google Earth/Maps before or after importing into Vista GPS.

Why Choose This Tracker with Vista GPS
The DG-388AT is a practical choice when you need reliable GPS logging that integrates with Vista GPS’s mapping and reporting capabilities. Its strengths are long battery life, large onboard storage and straightforward BLE-based data retrieval—making it ideal for historical telemetry, route reconstruction and batch uploads to Vista GPS. Because it exports to GPX and works with common PC tools like Google Earth/Maps, the DG-388AT fits cleanly into Vista GPS-powered workflows for fleet management histories, anti-theft audits, activity tracking and asset movement analysis.
Note that the DG-388AT is a standalone GPS data logger rather than a cellular real-time tracker. It excels at detailed recordkeeping and post-event telemetry rather than continuous cloud-based tracking, ignition control or immobilizer functions. If your Vista GPS deployment needs on-demand real-time location via a smartphone bridge, or historical telemetry and GPX-based analytics, the DG-388AT offers a dependable, easy-to-integrate option with Bluetooth sensors and mobile app support to streamline data collection and Vista GPS import.
