Hello,
I am looking for some fine device that would work properly with your platform.
The only requirements I have is to be able to track my motorcycle via GPS, having GSM cell info and have as low current usage as possible.
For some time I used chinese tracker bought on AliExpress, some clone of ST-901 - it was fine, worked well and didn’t strain my battery - never had to recharge my bike and didn’t have any signs of battery usage. However I messed with it a bit (electronically) and probably broke GPS module - device always sent the same location as the last time it got GPS fix.
After that seeing my last success with this type of device I bought another one, but from local seller. And boy, that is failure. I mean, ok, it works, tracks my motorcycle (however it needs plenty of time to get GPS fix 🙁 ). What it also does it kills my battery. Full recharged motorcycle battery ,11Ah in my case, is discharged by this device in less than a week to a point my bike won’t start - it won’t even do a full crank.
Settings are mostly the same, except in the first one out of laziness I never connected ignition line to an ignition, but rather straight to the battery, so it never went to sleep and long interval mode, and the new (power hungry one) was connected properly, so when ignition is off sends messages waaay less often. One would think it should save the battery and not drain it?
So, can you recommend any good device that won’t drain my battery? It would also be nice if it worked in normal mode, not legacy one on GPS-Trace app.
Oh, another requirement, I’d love it to be available in Poland, or at least somewhere in Europe 🙂
Thanks 🙂
