As the 914 grows in popularity we could use something like this if it isn't crap.

I bought a bunch of the TrackR® tags a few years ago. The theory behind the system sounded good, but for it to work optimally, a whole lot of folks need to have their tracking app active on their 'schmart fones'.
Best bet is one of the GPS type tracking systems, like LoJack®. The main downside is that you'll need to pay for cell service for the device. Another option is to just get another smart phone and leave it in your car, kept charged via the vehicle's battery or an additional hidden battery (in case a thief disconnects your main vehicle battery). Then you can use the 'find my phone' app to locate it. Licensed Amateur Radio operators can utilize a system called APRS to track their own vehicle's location on Google maps. There are a couple of companies that manufacture APRS tracking units that consist of a GPS receiver and transmitter in a small box powered by the vehicle' battery (or again an additional hidden battery). No cell service required. I have these in several vehicles. Here's an article about the most popular pet-type trackers ... https://gadgetsandwearables.com/2020/02/10/...-trackers-cats/ |
