I just had my truck and sled stolen from my driveway, the truck was recovered but sled is gone. I'm pretty devastated, a case of bad timing will leave me having to save up a whack of $$ to get a new one.
I have been thinking about putting gps locators on all my toys, just wondering if anyone has any experience installing such a device on a snowmobile? From what I quickly learned googling the subject.... there seems to be two types of gps trackers for this purpose.
#1 is always on and tracking, and needs to be supplied power continuously. Some have optional temporary backup batteries, some have one built in. Obviously a battery on the sled would be necessary.
#2 is triggered to notify, or track when triggered by situations like: movement, boundary breach, or time intervals. This type seems to be internal battery powered, so easier to work with on a sled without a battery. Possibly issues with having to replace batteries all the time, or freezing batts?
I don't know anything about cost or if there are subscription fees, just looked quickly between shifts at work here. Anyone have any insight on which type would serve the purpose best on a snowmobile, or knowledge on other options?
My plan is to have gps on my sled, bike, and truck. As well I am going to install a motion sensor trigger security camera on the front of my house. Nobody is ever getting away with my gear again.:mad2:
