This could be a very cheap option then, as one box units seem to be quite
expensive.
Have you tried any of these services ?

Thanks for that, hopefully someone will remember the article or even have a
copy of the mag they could send on for beer tokens.

It might be worth having a look here:

It was a few years ago but I watched a rally in progress - they tag all
the riders and you can watch them on a map of the US. Quite an eye
opener, a mate of mine shipped a ST1100 over to participate. Anyway, I
guess they must have some similar kit and have been using it for a few
years so you might get some useful info.

Crude as anything, but if your phone/pda/i$thing can run google maps,
there's a locationator included in that which will share your location
with your google maps friends.

I can't vouch for bulgarian function though.
