So,
I have installed a tracker in my car in the event it gets stolen.
It is an old android phone with a hard wired charger fed directly from the car battery running mycartracks app.
It has a pay as you go sim from EE, which thanks to a Xmas promotion gives me 100mb a month allowance free with no obligation to top it up.
So it is hidden behind the dashboard doing two things:
Firstly and primarily it is a tracker, I can send it a text message with a code and then log in to the website and its current position will be displayed along with speed and direction.
Secondly it also logs all routes/journeys carried out in the car so in the event that I need to check if I was somewhere I have a record.
Yes I could buy a dedicated tracking system but I had sitting in a drawer not being used so I thought I'd try it out.
