City Radio 07 March 2010, 21:04 .... this unit has a 12/24v hard wired adapter available. Not sure how well it is with sea water ingress though...... http://cpc.farnell.com/alaska/apt-14/personal-tracker-gps-gsm/dp/SR07715 malthouse 08 March 2010, 08:52 There a kit much discussed on here which costs less and can do what you want.

There is the "original" eBay product from a Chinese company called Xexun I think, then there are various clones of that product. Prices seem to be in the sub 100 pounds area. There is also the UK-designed Yacht Sentinel, which sells for more like 300 quid but tells you about the status as well as the location of your boat: If your batteries are going flat, or if there is a frost/fire risk, if there is any water building up inside, etc etc. |
