Satellite tracking anti theft device

[chuckaduck]

Have been looking at this

web page

Yuo can set a proximity zone so that if your boat leaves the zone you get a text alert on your mobile with the lat/long coordinates you can also track it realtime over the internet

looks good to me might get me one

usual disclaimer etc no association etc

your comments please ?

have been comments on this on the forums over the last 12 months - worth a search.

assuming only the basic facility (if the boats missing I would log on to look for it rather than expect a text as it probably wouldn't be in GPRS range of a reciever until I knew it had gone) it's still around 40% of my insurance premium as an additional annual outlay plus a one off equal to around a years premium so overall expensive.

more worried about break ins than long distance thefts so again it's no benefit

can see a benefit for high value highly mobile craft though - esp sailing ones that don't have to refuel etc before travelling a significant distance.
