I've been looking around for a small GPS tracking device with real time data, something not much bigger than 1 inch. I would need to buy either a SIM card or something with a data plan to track it. This would have multiple uses, let the kids carry it around, or experiment with some bait boxes, or let somebody steal a bike, things like that. No, I'm not tracking my wife's car.

Has anybody tried any of these? There are the other models you put on a car and then upload the data once you get it back, but that obviously wouldn't work for a package you're trying to locate.

The popular device I'm seeing out there costs around $50, with a monthly data plan.

We just purchased our kids Gizmo watches for Christmas. Once you buy the device, they are $5 per month and do real-time GPS tracking.

Google maps works pretty well, but mostly only in urban areas, and you also have to get permissions.

I got my daughter one as well. That’s an idea.

I got it on eBay and added it to my plan for $7.77/m (with taxes).

Yeah the GPS is nice to have. Like when she says she is going to Sally’s house, but ends up at Cindy’s without telling us. Even more handy is the ability to call her.

"Hey check out the cool Gizmo watch my parents got me!"
