Bike tracking
in [UK Motorcycles]

From: rda on 22 Mar 2010 15:04 For various reasons I want to install a tracking device to the bike I'm taking to Bulgaria. I'm looking for real time tracking that the SO can view as a map with the bikes position pinpointed, preferably with the option to record the journey as well. Does anyone have any experience of such a unit that would be ok to use on a bike ? -- rda

Cheap mobile phone with a global SIM card wired in under the seat. -- SteveH

Made to wear, not to install on a bike. But if you're sufficiently motivated I imagine you could mount one inside a fairing panel or somesuch. A fellow I know has used a Spot Tracker on bike trips (in the USA) and shared his route on the web- it does what it says on the tin. http://www.findmespot.eu/en/ Their map says coverage is good in Europe. http://www.findmespot.eu/en/index.php?cid=109

How would this allow the SO's to track our progress from home ? -- rda

There are services out there which will update your position based on which masts the phone is logged onto. -- SteveH |
