Not tried it myself, but I do like the datatool snitch.

Cheers Mark.

I think that's a lot of money when you can get a almax chain for circa £150 then wire an old phone handset somewhere waterproof and trace the general location online. (that's what I'd do anyway if I had a bike worth the expence - yes I'm tight)

Are you getting it for the tracking feature if it gets stolen? I personally couldn't justify spending £400 on it... why not just claim on the insurance, bikes can be replaced no matter how personal they are to the owner.

If you wanted it just for the GPS tracking to see where you been, much cheaper options available.
