Yep - I understand that it works well  |
I don't think that the GSM system is very accurate - at least not accurate enough to locate a stolen bike. Look at their accuracy document:

Whilst you'd probably be OK if the bike is somewhere in central London, I'd hate to search the radius they show in Macclesfield.
I'd prefer the accuracy of a GPS system and might be interested in something like that. |
If you prefer the GPS style, they start at around the £175 mark. The company I originally posted about are saying £205 each, without fitting. The GPS models usually work on GSM as well, because they have a GSM modem built in to enable sending back positional data (satellites are only good for 1 way use unfortunately). For the cost, I'm happy about the GSM coverage, and that's quite a sentiment, considering I live almost in the middle of nowhere (Snowdonia, well, Anglesey).
