Best tracker for ship tracking?
Hi:
there are some 3rd party vendors of satellite tracking devices--are you interested in testing?
trying to stay vendor neutral
Yes, sure. How?
lets get on IM send your mail
guess it wont work for this situation
I would get a satellite solution (IE: Spot Trace).
Have you find the Best tracker for ship tracking?
Hey, no, this guy who offered product testing did not offer GPS hardware but pencils...
I was not able to find a suitable (cheap and woking) solution. Finally we used a cheap waterproof phone with an all satellite network receiver with the traccar app on it. This decision was made based on the facts:
- Traccar will record even when there is no data connection
- Even if the boat will be stolen, they will enter a cellular network sooner or later
- There is no need for live tracking 24/7
Btw.: The guy offering test hardware offered to test pencils. facepalm
Hi all,
I have a friend who wants to track his yacht with traccar.
Do you have a recommendation for a tracker?
Until today I only use the Android app and a two GT02 compatible OBDII devices.
The tracker for the yacht must be able to store locations while not in range of a cellular network (upload all locations when back online), must be somewhat resistant to high temperatures, salt water OR must receive a good signal below-deck / cabin / water resistant areas. Also it should not be too obvious that it is installed.
Its main purpose is to review the route traveled and to have a hint when it might have been stolen.
Cheers,
