Hi there,

Anyone on here got experience with those small GPS trackers that take a SIM card and can be hidden away in cars or motorbikes ?

I'm about to get another motorbike and have a terrible track record of having them stolen (in the UK), I'd quite like a small GPS tracker that I can send a TXT to and have it reply with it's GPS co-ordinates.

Need some idea of how accurate and reliable they are ? Do they work when the bike is in the back of a van or locked up in a thieves garage ?

Thanks

Mark

GPS's generally need quite good line of sight to at least 3 satellites, and do not work indoors in most cases.

I've had one in my car for years, brilliant especially when getting alerts if the alarm goes off, or if it gets stolen.
