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=
d comms works just fine.

It=E2=80=99s so cheap, there=E2=80=99s no reason not to try it.
I=E2=80=99v=
e been using it for approaching 12 months and it=E2=80=99s worked fine.

Unfortunately, my Dad is getting a bit forgetful in his old age and often
f=
orgetting where he has parked the car.

=20

Can anyone recommend a reasonably-priced simple GPS tracker that I can
plac=
e in his car and track its location via web browser or app?

=20

Thanks
