GPS tracking systems...

Was faffing about looking at GPS stuff when I found this...

Seems small enough to be secreted on a bike somewhere, and seems to be about
half the price of a Tracker system when you add on the subscription costs.

I particularly liked "TrakM8 can be wired to the vehicles immobiliser to
bring the vehicle to a halt...", although I assume that if your vehicle is
moving, they must have bypassed the immobiliser! Perhaps it in case they
steal your keys.

Comments, opinions?

 

Wizard was seen penning the following ode to ... whatever:

But I *bet* the inswearance companies do so they can find new ways of
weaseling out of claims.

 

What about people who drive more than 17 hours at a time, eh
Christofire?

But investigating more closely it only monitors for 17 hours by taking
a snapshot every 30 minutes or something silly. So not really
suitable for use as evidence - no more than one of those silly Motrax
"How Fast?" gadget things that record your top speed. "Yes officer,
I was just on my home from a track day - that's why it has readings
for 130 mph. The location says "A1"? Well, the GPS Antennae was
taped up.". Not like they can prove anything with it. Besides, I'm
sure that functionality can be disabled.
