BikeTrac or TrakKing?
Discussion
Thinking about getting a tracker for the new steed and have been reading into these two as they seem to crop up as the most used / reputable ones out there for bikes.
I know that the BikeTrac has more features, but you pay a premium for it (both up front and in the monthly cost) so wondering if anyone has first hand experience of either and / or would recommend one over the other?
For those who don't know, the BikeTrac does GPS and RF tracking, using GSM and GPRS networks - means that the tracker doesn't have to 'see' a GPS satellite to send a location, it can do this from the mobile network it connects to. The RF (radio frequency) tracking can then be activated at closer range to pinpoint where the bike is.
The TrakKing by comparison is GPS and GSM only, meaning it will send alerts if triggered by unexpected motion, but will need to 'see' a satellite in order to pin point it's location.
