GPS tracking units

[Bandit3]

Does anyone have any recommendations for a GPS tracking device? Pros and cons also would be appreciated, thanks, John

I have some info I can send you later when I get to my laptop.

For personal vehicle or company vehicles?

For a trailer--the one that was stolen last year which I recovered. Thanks Plum.

I'm pretty sure that those tracking devices store tracking information and you have to get the device back in your hands so you can download the GPS information to your laptop. If someone steals your car/trailer and you never see it again, then you don't have any tracking information. I'm not aware of any real-time tracking devices currently on the market...I'm guessing that it's a civil liberties issue. I mean if the real-time tracking was avaialble, you could put one on anybody's car and that would be like stalking .

There must something other than lojack that can do the job in real time. Anyone else?

I work for Advance Auto parts, we have something that we sell for tracking purposes. I'm not sure exactly how it works, because we only have sales literature and no actual device in store.

Later,

was gonna mention trackstick mini but that needs downloading
and Blackline GPS - GPS products and Devices (****** CIS, ****** PS, Loner GPS, Harpoon and more)

but not so easy for a trailer since it doesn't have a battery/power id assume
