gps trackers

[Lao Jia Hou]

@Everyone with a gps tracker, how are you finding them years on? Are they all still working great? Helped recover any stolen bikes? I now have dreams of hunting down thieves with a crew of friends and busting open an shed, video cameras recording and catching/embarrassing the bastards in a chopshop. =D

I am using several of them, and find they work great BUT they do trickle-drain batteries. The basic model is fine, for my purposes, although I have upgraded one to a model that will SMS me if the bike is touched (like a motion alarm). It also has an 8-hour battery in it, in case a thief cuts the main terminals.

Although they provide me with a little sense of added protection, the route tracking feature is what I really like.

They are inexpensive.
