GPS tracker
« on: October 13, 2015, 08:21:42 PM »

Hello
I work in an IT company. In our company we develop tracking and diagnostic devices for vehicles. We are going to make a gps tracker for motorcycles. I want your advice to make it better if it is interesting for you to participate in the process of creating a new device.

Main features of the tracker:
- real-time GPStracking;
- highly-sensetive accelerometer which will notify you of every move of your motorcycle;
- internal battery which charges only when you move, so it won't drain your motorcycle battery;
- route sharing;
- smartphone application;

If the trackerloses a gps/gsm signal you get a notification.
Which other functions would you find useful? What functions do you think are unnecessary?
I will be thankful for any ideas. Feel free to say what you think.

Keep in mind that most EMs only have 12V available when they're turned on....if you want to have constant-power accessories like alarms or this sort of thing, some sort of arrangement will have to be made to supply 12V continuously. It's not all that hard to do, but it will have to be accounted for.
