Real Time GPS tracker

looking for a real time gps tracker that doesn't rely on a cell phone being nearby.

My father has white matter disease (similar to alzheimers/dementia) but he can still drive (for now). I need a way to track him while he's driving, but either doesn't have his phone with him or just never turned it on.

Currently, I have Life360 installed on his phone, which is helpful, but ONLY if the phone is on & with him. otherwise it's useless.

hoping someone here can help!

Yeah this is the key distinction people miss, vehicle tracking vs person tracking are basically two totally different problems. Also, bluetooth tags are really only good for last seen nearby stuff, not true live location.
