    GPS trackers. Who's got them and what have you got?

    I'm thinking on fitting up a GPS tracker on my bike.
    Any thoughts or experience with fitting any of these.

    I just want to be able to track and locate it if it goes walkabout.

    I want one. But that doesn't help you much does it?

    This is a review that may be of some use.

    Shop around as prices vary a lot.

    Some have a fee payable to the "platform" #7 - #9 - #10 do not,
    some sort of ap that links to google earth/maps.

    Have a look here. I can't recommend a specific model, but it's worth having a look.

    I had one similar to this model. I had it fitted to my GSXR, then the power supply decided to catch fire one day. That's the thing I'm really worried about with these cheap trackers since they don't usually operate at 12V.

    That looks like a smaller version of the power supply that my old tracker had which burned. I have to weigh up the risk of having my bike stolen vs the bike catching fire.

    Unfortunately I was, but not for long.
