[QUOTE="Ded Driver, post: 439996, member: 12692"] One point to remember with GPS trackers, is that GPS needs a clear sky view to get coords. Some good units will get a signal near a window but if your detector is hidden well inside a house, garage, shed etc, it is unlikely to be able to receive coords. Then comes the issue of a transmitter! Most Rx can be easily blocked. The setup would obviously only 'ping' when the thief takes it out. You then need to be on the ball to track it down before it goes back in storage. Given that you don't know when it might be taken out you could be caught not looking at the right time. Its a very problematic issue. [/QUOTE]
