DIY GPS Car Tracker...
This may sound bonkers and might be slightly flawed depending on use.
I was thinking about what to do with my nackered (no microphone) android phone.
And I thought holdon.. it has gps, internet connection, and can be charged (obviously)
How about hide it in the car, hardwired in (to charge while the ingnition is on) so then I can track my car?
This is pretty simple to setup... depending on what you want from it.
Google Latitude can automatically log where your phone is every 20 minutes or so.
There are apps where you send a text and it will activiate the gps to tell you where it is.
Loads of other paid apps also.
The only crap factor is the data plan, if you use a PAYG sim for this phone (which is what I plan) then you wouldnt want it to be using too much data.. so the idea of updating every 20 minutes would be daft.
But it could come in handy to text your car if it was missing etc
Good plan?
