Re: GPS with tracking system

Well the tinyloc unit sends a gps signal every 10 sec and not every 24 hours. This is of course in unidirectional mode (about 7 days battery life). When in bidirectional you might have 4 days battery life.

Re: GPS with tracking system

Re: GPS with tracking system

All right, tried out the tinyloc system with the 25 day free trial thing. I was hunting for bear and what can I say. It looks “chinese” and ugly as a brick (actually a brick is nicer than the receiver).But what made me try this system is basically because I HATE the range with garmin like a lot of ...
