Tracking devices
 
Any one using tracking devices on their bike?
I've been told that the GPS devices are useless once your bike's in a garage/van (Phantom Tracker aprox £500+subscription).
MST bike gaurd looks more promising using GSM via mobile phones but the accuracy leaves a lot to be desired (a 'few hundred' metres to 1000 metres depending on location) but is better value £300 approx.
Do you have any experiences or recommendations?

Don't know about tracking devices on bikes, but my hand held GPS packs up when I take it in the house

Asset tracking uses GSM:

Whilst MST is better value but poor accuracy:

Cheeky they've got a Duke on their webpage as well:lol:

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with these?

I work in the security industry and there is 2 things about tracking devices you should know. 1. 80 % dont get recovered in spite of what they tell you (Call the police when you are being robbed and see if they come out in less than 4 hours. The police do not even look for them.). 2. Would you want your pride and joy back after its been trashed by a thief).

I was thinking about getting one of those that send a message to your mobile phone as soon as the bike is moved...I can park 30 seconds away from my office, but would be ****t1ng myself all day that the bike would not be there when I got out (a mate had a GSXR600 with 130 odd miles on it nicked from where I work, it was on a main shopping street and had an alarm and chain on - passers-by must have just ignored it being loaded onto a van with the alarm squarking)

Trackers sound good. In the near future could they be used for speeding offences as GPS is 99.9% accurate?
