Assembled cognoscenti; I am thinking of installing a GPS vehicle tracker; mostly with the hope that I can know if someone is, breaking into my vehicle; I can notify the police..... rather than track it after has been stolen. ! Just to give clearer idea of the problem and to forestall already discarded ideas: -the vehicle is a 1994 Mitsubishi Starwagon 4WD with no remote locking -it now has an after market engine immobiliser fitted -recently someone made a fairly determined attempt to steal the vehicle; (as contrasted with previous breakins where they just took stuff) -unfortunately it is parked in undercover parking which is extremely insecure, and too far away to set up a wifi camera; perhaps 50m away downstairs and around a corner ! To get an idea of the devices I am considering here is one from Jaycar costing $229: https://www.jaycar.com.au/4g-gps-vehicle-tracker/p/LA9038?utm_campaign=redir... here is another $250- $300 depending on source https://www.eva4x4.com.au/products/idrive-livetrack-gps-tracker This later one uses an Android app "iCar Advanced GPS tracker_v3.0.2_apkpure.com.apk" ; (which I have installed in an old Samsung Galaxy SII) but it seems to want to use Google for some kind of authentication. I really don't like Google and would prefer a solution which doesn't involve them; any suggestions eg should I be looking for a device which allows an open-source apk ? or will they all use proprietary apps ? thanks Rohan McLeod
