You talk about a GPS tracker, but you link to a bluetooth tracker?
TrackR doesn't use GPS. This thing is okay for keys, but absolutely useless for bikes, because bluetooth works only with maybe 10m distance. The only way that to find the bike again is if you are extremely lucky to be next to it or if another user locates it.
To locate your bike someone would have to actively use the app almost directly next to your stolen bike, which makes it almost impossible to get it back.
Uh, I'm no expert, but your Mini GPS locator will only report its location when
>TrackR's item tracking network will help you find it. When another TrackR user is within range of your lost item, you will receive a GPS update.
So never, because nobody is running the TrackR app. 5,000 downloads, ever.
Something like SPOT's Trace might be a little more effective. I know it's more costly and requires a subscription, but it actually does the job.
