AS-19B GPS tracker review
Published on November 29th, 2006 in gps navigation, tracking
The GPS tracker AS-19B we reported a while ago just got its first review. To refresh your memory the GSM + GPS enabled tracker receives location info through the GPS module and transmits this data to a predetermined phone number using GSM networks.
In Netherlands where it’s just been released the GPS tracker comes with a built in SIM card featuring mobile subscription in order to send SMS containing information about it’s position.
Using variety of methods you can trace the position of the GPS Tracker yourself or you can be automatically informed every time it changes the position, by activating the park mode. You receive then a message containing the position of the GPS Tracker, completed with the GPS coordinates on the digital maps which are included by the GPS software, which you install on your GSM.
The device costs a whopping 1079 Euros, however you can justify the purchase to your wife by telling her how much of a discount you’ll get with your car insurance.

The price of this device is absurdly. You can obtain similar devices, made in China for about EUR 150 - Eur 250. Somebody wants to make big bugs.
To be sort: crazy!!

Dutchnomad, maybe the ones you are referring to are just “loggers”?! Those are the ones that record the data without sending anything, then you need to recover the GPS and put it inside your computer to see where it has been (the route and some more info) :)
These other more expensive trackers are sending data live by SMS or by GPRS (better) and someone at another end can view the position at any time without ever needing to recover the device.
