I'm looking for the cheapest tracker possible really,
probably off
eBay(UK).  Any recommendations for a bargain?
 


In a car or ?

I grabbed a couple of cheap data loggers off ebay(AU), AU$70 inc postage, out 
of the pair I'd recommend a BT757 the most, seemed to be more sensitive than 
both a HTC Dream (AKA G1) and the other data logger I picked up GT-730F/L.

The BT757 has a solar cell and claims 100+ hours on a single charge + if the 
cell can see the sun, it also came with a nifty suction cup holder, a car 
charger and a retractable USB cable.

The only down side to this particular model is the 1M of flash, can store about 
37,000 GPS points. I've set it up to record points every 10m and it logs at 1Hz.

By 'cell' I meant the solar cell/solar panel it comes with, and has nothing to 
do with phones, the only time I mentioned a phone was a comparison with the GPS 
performance.

Oh, OK, it was just from looking at the product description I got confused!

Thanks.
