JA: April 2009 Archives

We are proud to support the Rugby March 2009 for Leukemia. 550 miles, 265 hours, with a rugby ball. We'll be tracking its location, live. Here's their blog.
It's not actually on the website, but we do have a version of the KoolTrax™ Ranger GPS tracker designed for fitting into cars and other vehicles to act as a vehicle tracker and I've just been trying to compare it to Tracker, the system you probably know for stolen vehicle recovery.

The thing is .. they've hidden their costs now on their website, but back in 2003 they were saying their vehicle Tracker cost from £22.39 per month for a five year lease.

Well hang on a minute, that's £1,343.40 over five years, minimum. Our KoolTrax™ Ranger would cost, over the same period, £537.52.

OK, we're not plugged into the police but we can certainly tell the police where to locate your vehicle. And I'm wondering whether Tracker devices are obvious to a thief once they find it, whereas our device will be less familiar. It doesn't say it's a tracker on it.

Curious.

And with Tracker, it's leased. You don't even own it after spending well over a thousand pounds.

Maybe that's why you tend to see Trackers on very posh cars. Maybe ours are vehicle trackers for the masses. Just specify you want a car kit when you order.
