  would any of you be interested in a GPS tracker that looks like a reflector (not a lamp) only about 15mm thick including reflector?

  Almost completed testing on a prototype thats just 22mm x 100mm x 5mm - not sure if it will fit down the frame though. Will need some further development on an 'outside' GPS antenna. Should be able to power it from a high capacity cylinder type battery. Anyone interested in helping with funding?

  yes it works worldwide on all networks (PAYG and Contract) - but you have to have a GSM and GPS signal

  Battery life is dependant on useage and configuration.

  You can download a userguide from the website www.pawtrax.co.uk and in there you will find a 'battery life' table

  This still will not work inside the tube because of the GPS signal.

  The PawTrax device is smaller

  To track 'live' you need a GPS chip and a GSM chip (modem) The GSM chips available are larger than the GPS.

  GPS signals cannot get through a frame or seat post - an external aerial is required, and would somehow need to be connected to the 'hidden' device.

  Also unlikely induction charging would work through the frame.

  PawTrax.co.uk have a new version of their pet tracker - half the size of previous - might be suitable for hiding under saddle or inside light fitting

  Just thought you all might like an update on The-PAT.net from PawTrax. We now have a smaller unit, unfortunately still too large to put inside frame :-( - 60mm x 44mm x 18mm) - uses GSM/GPRS and GPS.

  It now also has the facilty to be able to plug in an external battery pack, solar recharger or dynamo charging device.

  I'll start a new thread in a few days giving details of the GPS cylce tracker which evolved as an offshoot of my dog tracking collars at www.pawtrax.co.uk

  It is smaller than a matchbox, hidden under saddle, 4 days battery life. GPS can be switched off remotely to increase this. Its waterproof and vibration proof. You can easily set up a 'geo-fence' around the cycle and if it is moved outside this area you will receive an sms on your mobile alerting you and presenting you with a map and location and more.

  Cost will be under £200 with NO ONGOING MONTHLY CHARGES

  I would welcome you emails/PM expressing an interest. info@pawtrax.co.uk
