Ive had a read of the threads already on the subject.

i dont want to go down the smart phone route so im looking for real world experience of the gps trackers on amazon/ebay.

has anyone brought one? if so which? and how easy was the set up and what functionality do you get ie geo fencing sms report etc etc

I will be fitting one to my 7, plus the family tintop and my mates trike so i want to make sure i get something thats reasonalbe but not going to break the bank and has no subscription fees.

Is this for security?

Tracker stylie?

When you say you don't want to go down the smartphone route you mean you don't want a tracker that takes a PAYG sim card and notifies your phone if it moves.

I use one of these

Lasts for months on standby and takes a PAYG sim card, you can set a geo fence and if your car starts moving it phones you and you can track it in real time on your PC or smartphone. There are lots of different ones at differing prices with differing software. They are made in China and there are 4 or 6 main factories that use the same hardware but add their own firmware and some are better than others.

If you want something like this ask the seller to e-mail you the instruction manual first just to be sure you like what you see, they will do it no problem.

If you have a Google+ or GMail account Google Device Manager will locate the position of any Android device that is connected t and registered to the locator service.

Also take a look at this device available on Amazon Link to Amazon page
