The LA9013 has the same chipset underneath; both are SIRF Star 3 which is the obsolete GPS unit that has higher power consumption which is a major factor in motorcycle trackers - my bike even with a new battery would last no longer that 3 days where as the GTV01 unit would last 7 days; and in power saver mode it would last almost 14 days. No point having a tracker if it runs your bike dead every week
The unit I picked to import has useful features such as low power consumption since bikes have small batteries compared to cars (also important for motorcycles that aren't used often), the reliability of this unit it much higher, ease of use, Android app to control the unit, along with the usual features all units have like vibration sensor, power cut sensor, vehicle proximity sensor (detects when your bike is removed from an area without being started). You do really get what you pay for and those jaycar units I can source for around $40 NZD each but this one I have costs me $110 NZD for a reason.
I am no longer selling this unit though so if anyone is interested their OEM name is TLT-2H though they now offer a waterproof unit called TLT-2F that you can find on aliexpress or ebay for roughly the amount above
