StreetMeatNYC Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 So I bought this mini GPS unit to track my EUC, thought some of you may be interested Mini GPS Basically you gotta get a prepaid SIM or activate a cheap extra line, some of the advanced tracking requires data, but you can just send it a text message and receive a message back with its location and a map link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most EUCs have about up to 67V and with regenerative breaking the Voltage can even get higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many other DC-DC converters rated at 60V have 63v caps. I think that would be better to choose a 80v DC-DC step down converter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwixFix Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I have this exact model installed on a jet ski. I can say that this model seems to be pretty waterproof. But the GPS locate function is very slow. Upon requesting the location via SMS, it takes up to 5 mins for it to respond back with the GPS location. Also the website and app are so bad, they're almost not usable. It does however have a pretty reliable shock/movement sensor, if you disturb the item it's attached to, it will either call or txt the master cell phone. I'm mostly relying on its motion alarm feature rather than the GPS functionality. @StreetMeatNYC Do you have the same issue with slow GPS location response?

Yes, its definitely slow to respond, but it does what I want, motion detection as you said, and basic location if needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
