Only really useful if whatever you’re tracking stays within (admittedly extended) bluetooth range for as long as you’re interested in it, though.
I think it looks pretty handy. I wonder how well the signal gets through walls? Usually I’m quite close to my bike when I’m using it, in a pub, in someone’s house, at work, so this would be kinda handy.
They don’t really make much of a point that you need a Bluetooth 4.0 compatible device, which Android has only just adopted in 4.3, which the majority of devices don’t have yet.
Given that I-Pads/I-phones and other Android devices can download an app so you can locate them if they are stolen, and it’s possible to track a mobile phone to within a relatively small area, surely there must be some way I could leave my tatty old Nokia with an Asda PAYG Sim card in it, under my bike seat, and if my bike were to go walkies then I could track it using an app on my smartphone?
Come to think of it… when I bought my Galaxy Ace, it had an app called ‘Latitude’ on it that seems to have disappeared during my most recent updates. Latitude could pin-point the whereabouts of another Latitude user pretty accurately. I was always a bit paranoid about the missus tracking me with it, so when I told her I was staying on at work, she would really know I was off for a ride somewhere. Could work to track a bike though???
I don’t think you could track an old Nokia, you would need to use a smartphone of some kind. The problem then becomes battery/power usage. Oh, and of course you’d also then need a data plan for the phone.
I did have the idea of making an app for a smartphone that did all this. It could have crash detection and things like that too…
