No, not for the sort of riding I do - just can't see the need.
Yes, I'd part with $100 for family & riding buddies piece of mind.
Yes, but pretty tight for coin so will just rely on cell phone.
No, Cell phone or PLB/EPIRB is where its at.
Yes, pretty good idea with potential to take off if a few riders take it up.

There are two kinds of adventurers: those who go truly hoping to find adventure and those who go secretly hoping they won't. We should come home from our adventures having faced their perils and uncertainties, endured their discomfort and beaten the odds, with a sly acknowledgment and revitalised solidarity of character.

Just tried again. Same result.
Checked the sent items and they're all W000000,000

That's odd then...I just checked with two of my own phones and it's working fine. Will forward you a message with coords myself.

Some of the units let you ring them and then they reply with a txt. Is yours one of them?

Yep, can speak on it like a phone too. I've programmed it to hangup after 4-5 rings...try that once, let me know and I can extend it but then it might switch...ah its ringing now...

Goes to the answer phone.
That would be the better way as people don't need the password and can't change settings

Flick me another txt from your normal phone (I deleted the last txt) and I'll reply so you can check if my phone is adding any characters to the message.

OK, have programmed it up. W000000,000 should get a text back of a GPRMC string. Or calling and hanging up before 9 Rings (goes to voicemail) will also get a text back. Working fine for me, let me know how it goes for you.
***update...I've just tried it from my wife's XT phone and no joy. Get the W005 error you have been getting Nordie....must be a network crossover issue??***
You may receive a code back. The likely ones if dialling in would be W003,000 (wrong format), W005,000 (wrong prompt) or W008,000 (no GPS), all while ringing or texting for a location

Must be a network thing on the text b/n 2 Deg and XT... and musta been me balsing up entering the coords into GEarth. Our house is on the inside corner. But not bad for sitting inside and still getting a GPS fix.
Just tried again and yeah, for some reason texts from Telecom are coming through to the tracker as an error. But then calling works fine. Voda and 2 deg no issues at all.

Pretty good accuracy then.
Wonder what it's like with tree coverage.
I'll be up for one for sure.

You can also programme em by the minute to provide auto updates (eg every hour, every 5 mins or up to 999 mins). All programmed by text remotely. Can also set up GPRS connectivity for live tracking.
There are others, but this appears to be the best value with voice calling incorporated. Eg SOS button could SMS your coords same time as calling your ICE number.
Other flasherer units are made to be wired into vehs but are around twice the price. Allows remote control of veh (eg alarm, horn, ignition etc) through hardwiring the control circuits in. Just another application really.
One of the units has a faulty switch so have asked for a replacement. Will list the other on Trademe to gauge market price. Will also take orders at cost if anyone wanting one on the Adv forum and will make a bulk order to keep shipping down.

Hi,
Seems like a sweet unit for the price, but I think based on the limited GSM coverage in the areas we typically go to the GSM tracking would only be a secondary feature. So, the question is can this unit be used as a GPS logger, i.e. can it record tracks with an entry every x seconds or y meters and can the track logs be read out by USB? Doesn't look like it from the description but thought I ask. If it did I wouldn't mind the extra cost for the GSM features thrown in.
Cheers
