That can be got round by allowing everyone to be able to access the map. For people who don't have a tracker, it would just be a map with, say, a demo track on it. For people who do have a tracker, and enter its ID somewhere on the page, it would be a map with their data track on it. If you're tracking vehicles, then you need Premier. To track people, pets and other assets you don't necessarily need it.
