Hi Nick,
=20
I=E2=80=99m most sorry. I only just spotted your reply, from all that time
=
ago.
=20
Yes, I fitted the tracker myself. There=E2=80=99s very little to it. If
you=
can do basic auto-electrics (say, fit a stereo), this is dead easy.
=20
I used GiffGaff for the SIM. I was worried about the credit expiring too,
s=
o I took the lazy route and have a =C2=A35/month recurring top-up.
It=E2=80=
=99s over the top, as it barely uses anything, but it avoids the bother.

Steve

Hi Steve,
Did you fit it yourself? Was it straightforward?
Which SIM provider did you go for? I have been frustrated in the past with
=
'Pay as you Go' credit expiring for services like this that have very
light=
usage.

Simple, easy to install. Send it commands via text message. Phone it up
and=
it sends you a text back with its location and a Google Maps link. It can =
also be configured to work with an online mapping service, but the
SMS-base=

It's so cheap, there's no reason not to try it. I've been using it for
appr=
oaching 12 months and it's worked fine.

Unfortunately, my Dad is getting a bit forgetful in his old age and often

Can anyone recommend a reasonably-priced simple GPS tracker that I can
