Hi, You could get a boost mobile phone (no contract) and for 1.00 a day track yourself using OpenGTS http://www.opengts.org/
I have it running and have fooled around with it. Pretty cool! You could be tracking for about 30.00 us and another 30.00 for the boost service. -Tom On Thu, 2008-05-01 at 12:50 -0500, Joseph Monahan wrote: > Hello all, > > Long time reader, first time poster... > > I'm working on a personal project to track my bike ride across the country > this summer.
