  1. Re:Heh, heh, heh. on GPS Tracking Device Beats Radar Gun in Court · · Score: 1

    Parents more and more are installing GPS tracking devices on their teens cars. I believe if they don't, they are being very irreponsible. I installed a GPS tracking device on my sons car and didn't tell him about it because I wanted to see how fast he was going. Shockingly he was recorded several times going 90MPH on the freeway. I was a teen once too and I did the same thing. With the advances in technology today I recommend all parents get a GPS tracking device. It doesn't have to be LoJack, which is pretty expensive. Others like DriveOK are fairly inexpensive and easy to use.

  2. Re:Insurance on GPS Trackers Find Novel Applications · · Score: 2, Informative

    There are other options to LoJack that are much less expensive. I bought a GPS tracking unit from DriveOK to track our 3 cars. They are under $200 and the monthly service is low.

    The problem I found with LoJack is coverage area and it was really expensive to install. I was able to install the DriveOK units myself and I can go online to see where my cars are. If they are stolen I can call the police and give them the exact address my car is at and they can go recover it.

    A good friend of mine is a cop, checked out the system and thinks it will perform better than LoJack in the long run.
