GPS tracker
« on: October 02, 2020, 09:51:38 AM »

I know they have similar things that you can attach to the car, to spy on how fast your kids are driving,
But I'd like to get a device to take on a bicycle trip, so friends/family can monitor the progress.
Is there something like that outside of ham aprs that could be used?
Unless the most simple way is an APRS tracker, and set up family on aprs.fi
What you think???

The BigRedBee SBD allows you to send and receive short messages from anywhere on Earth with a clear view of the sky using the Iridium satellite network.  No cell phone / GSM / APRS or other radio service is required.  The integrated GPS and power management features provide a completely self contained system, no external components required. Extremely low idle power consumption means standby time are measured in months with a battery not much larger than the transmitter itself.
