New tracking method adapted to all budgets.
[/h]Both mobiles and bikes are an easy target for thieves. Fortunately, technology advances to help us and make life difficult for criminals. For the next generation mobiles you can download applications for tracking in case of theft or loss, for instance on iPhone you can use Find my iPhone, and if you have Android: Prey. Unfortunately these applications will not ensure you get your phone back, but you should install them because they provide another layer of security, making things more difficult to thieves.
On bicycles locks are still being necessary, but I want to talk about a device that can be installed and provides a tracking service, but don’t say it aloud, we won’t give thieves any clues.
[h=2]What is it about?[/h]It’s about Trackr, A small and discreet device the size of a coin that is revolutionizing the market.

[h=2]But… How does it work?[/h]Very easy! It will take less than five minutes to put it to work. You simply have to pair it with your mobile phone and download the free application which will allow you to locate at all times.
Once this is done, you simply have to put it on your key chain, in your wallet or in any object you want to locate always.

Now just have to open the application on your mobile and you can see on the map the position of your device. If you get to lose your keys, simply select “find device” and you’ll get the coordinates of the new location.
With Trackr you’ll be able to locate your device at any timeIn the following video you’ll be able to see it in action:

[h=2]How much is it going to cost me?[/h]You’re probably thinking that this device will be very expensive…. nope. This is the best part, you can acquire one for so little, the price is about $40 CA. Not bad considering it gives peace of mind.
[h=2]How to buy it?[/h]That’s easy, you can buy it .
UPDATE
Now you can buy 2 units and get 1 free. Offer ends on Thursday 03[SUP]th[/SUP] March 2016

[h=2]Other functions[/h]Do you often forget your wallet? Forget where you parked the car? Or want to prevent your pet from escaping? With you can also track your personal belongings, just simply attach it to anything you consider important for you or easy to lose, you link it to your Smartphone (with the Trackr application) and you will find what you lost, it’s that easy!
[h=2]Detailed instructions on how to use Trackr[/h]Now that you are aware of the potential of this curious device, we will make a brief summary to clear all your doubts:

  • Step 1: Get Trackr from this website, you’ll get it delivered to your home in about 1 week.

  • Step 2: Link Trackr Bravo with your Smartphone (iPhone or Android) and place it next to the object you don’t want to lose.

  • Step 3: Download the app and always have in hand the location of your valuables.
As Simple As That!

I could see these used in trailers, sleds, bikes, quads, motorbikes, collector cars, boats, pets, wife, girlfriend, significant other ;), etc.... Didn't see any heavier duty ones available. Says approx. 1 year battery life

Research "crowd sourcing"
It relies on other users being close by to piggy back off their connection to relay it's location.
No other users close by, no signal.

I have 2 of the trakr wallet if you want them. They rely on bluetooth connection and if lost will only find when you get within 10-20 feet. They say if everyone has them if its lost then their bluetooth will pick it up as lost item. Within 10-20 feet. Ric if you want to try one let me know.

No need to search for anti-theft devices, Spot Trace is the real deal!
I have been using / testing mine for a couple years now, and have yet to see another pure gps tracker in the same price range emerge.

I have a couple of the "spot trace" devises and they work great. 99 US and 99 sub per year though.
