The tracking of vehicles and cargo plays an important role in the globalized world. There are several solutions to that task, but some present limitations and others are expensive. In this context, this paper develops a low-cost device to the traceability problem. Our solution implements a mechanism to reconstruct the real traveled route even in the absence of network connection. In addition, we designed not only the hardware but also the firmware and a client server. The communication of the device and the server is performed by using distinct data transmission modes. Our experimental evaluation identified the main features of each transmission mode in terms of resource consumption and a correct trajectory reconstruction in areas with no connection, proving the proposed solution consistently surpasses those issues.
