I have this thing about nothing is free so trying to figure it out. An open top car that relies on a steering lock and ignition key would be easier to nick than a normal tin top. But the main idea is for tracking when I go out in the car and go walk about talking pictures. It seems to draw anywhere between 36 milli-amps and say 80 milli-amps, I guess it is transmitting with the network, not sure what? whilst the current drain is not that bad I think over a week or so it would flatten the battery, but a trickle charger connected via the 12 Volt socket would keep the battery topped up when in the garage. So for me the plan is to fit it to my Kit car up under the fibreglass dash and to connect it to a permanent 12 Volt source. I can open the web link in Google maps and it shows me on the resulting map where the device is. ![]() Stuck a £10 credit on it and set it up first in a spare phone and then in the GPS device.Īt present I am planning to use it by sending a SMS message to it, it responds by SMS back to my own phone with a web link giving it's location. Now my personal mobile is on Giff-gaff, as I am not constantly on text or the net and Giffgaff is a pay as you go network, so I got another free Giff-gaff SIM in the post. It is one where you provide your own SIM card for it and then set it up. I bought from the bay of E a very cheap GPS tracking device for all of £10.99 including delivery, took about a week to arrive. I know some of you have work vans, or mobile equipment so not sure if this would be an interest to you. If this is not suitable in the brew room then please move or remove! ![]()
