How about tile tracking device

 

[msinger]

If you don't need a GPS tracker, a Tile might work for you if you can be sure you'll always be within 100 or so feet of the crash/landing site.

Thanks for sharing this update. I'm waiting for one of these too.

So with all the disclaimers in this update, are you going to take an early device if you're asked? If yes, I'd like your report when you get it. I think I'll wait till next year since I'm not yearning for a product with issues. At least these guys are up front about possible bugs or shortcomings in their Beta release.

I'll happily take whichever device they send me. I don't mind using products before they are 100% perfect (if that's even a real thing).

I dont know where this should be posted at but i bought a tkstar 905 tracker and also a bartun (same thing) and i can not get wither of them to work! I had another tracker and the guy at the phone store set it up for me,but i never had any trouble using it. The problem was the magnets werent strong enough and it fell off. I bought one of the prepaid aim cards they say to use, activated it and nothing! I tried every command i knew and all the ones CS told me to use. I then went and bought a new sim card from my phone carrier and used the same number as the old tracker ans still nothing! I put both sim cards in an old phone and again, nothing. I call it and i get voicemail like i did w my old one, but no location is sent. I desperately need this tracker to work by tomorrow! Two different trackers and 2 different sims, and none work? I have to be doing something wrong but I don't know what! Could someone please help me....

Not knowing what problems you are having, suggest you read through the user manual very carefully, most often than not you need to reboot the device by sending a sms to it "begin12345" , then you need to turn on the gprs mode "gprs12345" , each time your be getting a message back from the unit e.g begin ok, gprs ok.

Here is the manual for the Tkstar 905, it also helps to understand the lights e.g Yellow light - Solid No GPRS signal, Blue light - Solid No GPS signal

Also you won't be able to test this inside as you need a gps signal for tracking, which sounds like what you are doing

Msinger or anybody else get the E-Mail for one of the "beta" units ????

I haven't seen one single report of anyone getting this...I might add they've been FULLY FUNDED for a YEAR now.

I'd probably just get a Trackimo 3g model , as it's more of a proven product

I own it. Usually it works sometimes it doesn't but best currently available. The Ping GPS sounded good in the presentation but if it never materializes it doesn't matter.

Still no concern that this might not ever show?

Not at all. They started manufacturing them last month.

I sincerely hope so. Competition is a good thing.
