SENT-GEO is an advanced tracking system in Poland that complements the standard SENT system by requiring real-time GPS data from vehicles transporting certain high-risk goods, such as fuel, alcohol, and tobacco. This system allows authorities to continuously monitor the location and route of these shipments, enhancing control over goods that are susceptible to tax fraud and illegal trade.

NOTE: To transfer data to the SENT system, a special GPS tracker setting is required:
- the tracker must send the following mandatory parameters: position.latitude, position.longitude, position.altitude, position.speed, position.accuracy, position.direction
- the tracker must send position maximum after travelling 1 km or after 1 minute depending on which event occurs later, but not less than every 5 minute
- the tracker must send position when the azimuth of the vehicle's direction is changed by an amount equal to or greater than 40 degree
- the tracker must send position at a standstill of the means of transport, with the engine running, every 5 minutes
- the tracker must send position before turning off the engine, indicating where the vehicle stopped for a longer break resulting from regulations related to the driver's working time and after switching on the engine, thus indicating the end of the break.
