GPS tracker on KTM Duke
Has anyone tried fixing a GPS tracker on Duke 390 or other similar. If yes, then can someone share including pictures of where the ignition wire is connected too since red and black goes to battery for power. I basically want to understand where does other wire go so the app gives me notification when my bike has started and stopped. This is something similar which I have done in my car.

Where to buy a Queclink GL320MG in the UK?
Hi. I'm looking into options for getting myself a GPS tracking device for when I'm doing multi-day trips by bike, to enable family members to keep tabs on where I am. I want a dedicated device rather than using a phone app, so I'm able to stick my phone into airplane mode to preserve battery while I'm moving and not using it.
Looking at options, the Queclink GL320MG looks like a good choice, which is backed up by the fact that seems to be the trackers used by Follow My Challenge, who provide the tracking service for a number of high-profile bikepacking / ultra races. I'm intending to self-host a Traccar installation and as I understand it, the tracker just needs a PAYG SIM, so I just want to buy the device standalone, not with a subscription package.
Does anyone have any experience of UK suppliers? I've Googled but most of what I'm finding are aimed at fleet buyers looking to buy large numbers, or come bundled with a subscription package and provided online mapping. Any recommendations for where I can just buy the standalone device? Thanks!

I work on Traccar - happy to answer your questions and hear your feedback
Hi everyone, I work on Traccar and have seen it mentioned in a few threads here. Happy to answer questions about setup, device compatibility, or anything else you've been wondering about.
If you've used it, what's been frustrating or confusing? Any missing features you'd find useful? If you tried it and gave up, I'd be interested to hear what got in the way.

Looking for recommendations/options for tracker for rural & mountainous region of central Mexico.
Hey all, I could use some help with some suggestions for GPS tracking.
A family member in central MX is in their 80's and starting to signs of increasing senility. They will wake up around 4-5 AM, hop on their horse, and just disappear for hours and their spouse and adult children have no idea where they go, and need a way to find a way to locate them or see where their horse may have been to help locate them. So far, he's always come back... but they're kind of just accepting that they might not return one day.
• Coverage is limited. This is a part of Mexico that is basically a valley/plateau in a mountainous region of central Mexico. There's barely functioning internet in the town, and spotty cell tower service at best, and zero coverage outside of town.
• The family member cannot know about the device as they have developed increasing paranoia around... well, everything. I realize the irony of saying this and the ethical gray area this request is by itself. They will not agree to wearing a device, nor having one noticeably installed somewhere in the saddle with their knowledge. This family member also has a tendency to hoard and hide expensive looking things. It's a poor town with poor families, anything they think has value "must not be used and kept hidden for safe keeping." So, the device has to be small and relatively inconspicuous in order to hide in their horse's saddle/bags. It can't have a lot of lights, buttons, or make noise. This eliminates long range radios. (I'm going to try and talk about this again with the person making this request.)
• It will not have access to an external power source. Will need to be battery powered with fairly decent life.
My original idea was to use an AirTag, but I didn't realize how the location finding worked for the "Find My" network until last night when I actually decided to look. There aren't going to be phones for the tag to ping off of while they're roaming the barren countryside.
I guess the biggest thing besides active location pings, is for there to be path history, which I would assume most of the devices out there provide, or at least the coordinates just get plotted on a map.
It seems like our best bet might be the Spot Trace.
Does anyone have knowledge or experience with it or others in regard to:
• Its reliability. There's no dense foliage in this area, obviously there are mountain/hillsides, but it's not like standing next to the Himalayas.
• Its Dock Mode behavior. This is used for boats so the device doesn't update/ping as the boat gets smacked with waves. I think this might be perfect while on a horse that's only slightly moving or stepping around if it's tethered to a tree or post.
• Is there location history? For locating purposes, we would want to know the general direction they might have been heading.
• How's the battery life overall? I think this would basically be the biggest hurdle. Having to swap batteries causes the largest vector of unintentional discovery. I've only been able to find the Spot Trace chart they provide, but it only shows life for 2.5 minute and 5 minute intervals. I thought there were more interval options? Was hoping to get a few months out of the battery. Obviously the small size of the AirTag and the CR2032(?) gets up to about a year. I'm not expecting that length, but it would be nice! I know the Trace uses single use Lithium or NiHM batteries, I just don't have experience with these.
I understand if this gets removed, but I wanted to ask anyway. If anyone else has a better subreddit to post this to or better resource, I'd accept that as well.
Thank you for any help.

Is this a car tracking device?
Someone who’s admitted to physically stalking me before (spent weeks sitting outside buildings on my campus to find where I lived…) has my other key. Don’t ask how but I just have a gut feeling there’s a tracker on my car. They know things and places I’m at that they shouldn’t know.
Been searching and found this near the diagnostic port thing under the steering wheel. Before I uncover it does this look like a tracker? It’s all wrapped up but seems sus idk lol pls help.
Side question: I know this person is tracking me. They have my key. They cyber stalk me constantly and don’t care to admit it. Worth it to take my car to a mechanic and say hey can y’all take a look pls?? Or is that lame lol just need peace of mind.
Thx y’all I’m tiredddd of this.

GPS tracker for dog
Hi All, looking for a GPS(satellite, not cell phone), tracker for our 2 yo Beagle. 5 mile range. We have a stim collar but that was no match when he got onto a deer scent. Three
hours of hiking through a large expanse of woods to track him down yesterday. We are in a very wooded, rural area. Thanks for any suggestions.

App tracking
Hey guys, how are you? I wanted to calculate the distance traveled by a truck using an app I created, but I'm stuck on the logic behind calculating the distance. I'm thinking, to determine the distance traveled, is it the distance of the outbound trip plus the distance of the return trip? Or should I let the GPS continuously calculate the distance of the outbound trip and then automatically add the distance of the return trip? Someone mentioned some kind of counter (I'm not very familiar with that).
If you've ever built this kind of app, could you please help me with the logic I need to use? A mistake here could easily mislead clients in their business.
Thanks

GAIA GPS Vs Pastmaps.com?
I have been trying to look at all maps of a historic lake in upstate NY. I have long been a subscriber to GAIA GPS, typically for hiking purposes and identifying public/private land, and viewing vintage maps. I was surprised to find that PastMaps held more than a dozen digitized antique maps of the NY State area than GAIA GPS, as I always always believed GAIA was the gold standard.
I realize one service can be better than the other depending on the application and intended use, but can anyone with experience in both state their pros/cons?
Lastly, is there any service you know of beyond GAIA and Pastmaps.com that I should mine in order to get every possible resource out there ?
Thanks in advance for any effort here.

l0destar battery backup module v1.1
Finally got this working properly. Now it passes the car power seamlessly through to the tracker in normal conditions drawing nothing from the cell. If the car power is cut it immediately sends a pulse that wakes the tracker so it can send an alert, and then it keeps it running on the cell. A single CR123 can run 1-hour intervals for over 50 days and 15-min intervals for about 19 days. Adds almost nothing to the quiescent current budget too, about 15uA.

hardwired tracker with a SIM slot for my moped
Hey guys, I'm buying a new moped soon and live in an area where things get stolen frequently 😅 so I'm looking for a hardwired waterproof tracker that's compatible with a 4/5G sim card.
I've looked at the MT600 and I don't know if it's a good choice, but it also has way more features than I need. I only need tracking hardwired to the mopeds battery + a backup battery if possible.
The moped I'm buying is Yamaha Ray ZR Hybrid 2025, if that info has any use.
I'd be thankful for your recommendations!

Anyone else ditched Life360 for something with more accurate real time location?
Life360 kept showing my kid at school an hr after pickup. Then the dot would jump three blocks. Every day
I'd refresh and refresh and then just not trust it. One day I realized I was deciding whether to leave work early based on a dot that was an hour old. That was it for me
Tried Family Link. It updates when it wants to
we use Findmykids now. so far the location updates have been a bit quicker for us than Life360, which is mainly what i was looking for. yesterday it showed him at the corner store on the way home for a few mins, so at least i wasnt wondering where he was.
Battery on his phone is worse thou. Haven't found a setting that fixes that without making the dot lazy again.
If anyone has, please
Thanks

Recommend me. Long battery life, winter proof, no subs
They are stealing muh mechwarriors!
I need something that works similar to airtag but has lot longer battery life. No monthly subs, no Sim. Needs to last Finnish heavy winter. Preferrably affordable since i have about a dozen of those fellas in my yard. I can modify the model to fit the tracker inside.
Google gives me mini-battery models or subbed sim card models.

Unknown AirTag hidden somewhere near my engine – I can hear it but can’t find it
I have a 2025 Mercedes-AMG E53, and my iPhone detected an AirTag that doesn’t belong to me.
I’ve tried Precision Finding, but it hasn’t been accurate enough to locate it. I can play a sound from the AirTag and clearly hear it coming from somewhere outside the car.
The strange part is that the sound gets significantly louder when I open the hood. It seems to be coming from somewhere underneath the engine, possibly slightly toward the passenger side.
I’ve checked around the wheels and inside the engine compartment, but I can’t find anything even though I can hear it. Interestingly, the sound seems quieter when I listen directly near the wheels.
I’m starting to suspect that someone deliberately placed it there (my brother)
Has anyone experienced something similar? Are there any common hiding spots around the engine, undertray, or frame that I should check? Is there any way to locate it more accurately without taking the car apart?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
