Hi. Anybody using one of these little tracker thingies, 'TrackR Bravo' they are called. Sound Ok.
Does anyone have any other recommendations about tracking devices ?
Trying to track your bike or your kids ? :lol:
track r ? i have 4 of these and the batteries last 5 mins the idea is good as you can locate with the app on your phone but forever changing batteries. i would be interested in something better
Mmmmh. I've got a tracking device too.
You might call it a wife :rofl2:
what batteries does a "wife" take then :facepalm:
Meanwhile back on topic....
Never heard of these so I just looked them up. https://www.thetrackr.com/bravo
I am always losing stuff so these would be handy but if the batteries don't last then not much use eh.
This review (http://au.pcmag.com/trackr-bravo/41906/review/trackr-bravo) suggest alternatives including the Tile.
This reviewer (http://www.recode.net/2015/4/1/11560992/trackr-vs-tile-the-lost-and-found-face-off) compares the two, but concludes the TrackR is better.
This guy, while not exactly engaging, has tested the TrackR as a vehicle tracker - it may be useful info for someone..

I've seen something like this for sale on the ads on petrol pumps at esso garages
(phone charges.boot tidy's dash cams tgat kind of thing )
they look great and could be hidden easily on a bike and are only £5
i don't know if they need batteries or not
a battery less one is whats needed i guess tho or you'd forever replacing them .
next time I'min the petrol station I'll get more details of these things .
Thanks guys......needing new batteries all the time seems to make them a bit pointless.
Guess I'll just keep looking.
Here's an interesting possibility...

Yes a great little idea, and cheap to
