Anyone on here recommend a GPS Tracker for my bike?

Are they easily installed? or do you need a Sparky?

From where and how much?

 

Lots on fleabay from slant eyes land cheap,,,, if they have the range they're probably a bargain.

 

I found that to do what they claim ya gotta get one with external antennae and figure out where to fit them.

 

This one is worth a look, it has externals and it works realy good, does what it claims to do;

P.S. telstra do a pre-paid sim card that lasts 12 months for about $60.00

 Thanks rider.

allde,
If you want to use telco products in Aus with Telstra next g, you have to make sure you cover off the frequencies used by Telstra. Next g runs on 2100 from memory. If using this product, it will still work or Telstra, just not or not as well in next g (country or poof coverage) areas.
Many mobile phones that are grey imports may be ok for Vodafone etc... But don't work on Telstra next g. A lot of android phones have different versions of a phone to suit the desired markets ie: US, Asia, Australia...

 Ok thanks Dangerousdave.

 

What DD says deserves consideration, the tracker is only as good as the coverage that the sim card / service provider can offer.

 

One other thing to think about is power supply, a lot of trackers run of their own internal, re-chargable battery that only lasts for a certain number of hours before needing a re-charge.

My choice was to have a tracker that is hard wired to the bikes battery, 12 volt DC supply, (switchable if you want) and incorperates an internal battery for back-up, or if the bikes battery supply is disconnected.

The ones that come with either a USB, or 240 vac charger can be connected permanently to the bikes 12 volt supply via an adaptor and left connected all the time, but a bit of extra mucking around.
