FIN GPS Locator
#1



I got the dealership to throw in a Find It Now FIN GPS Locator for free when I bought my bike. I'm curious if anyone else has a GPS Locator. If so, has it paid off? I got a free one year subscription, but I'll have to renew it next year if I want to keep using it.

what is it?

My wife tracks my cell phone with Find My Friends or something like that. I tried the Spot locator (1st gen) but wasn't happy with the results. Seemed to work well for MTC on his recent SS1000 though.

There's an interesting app called EatSleepRide (see[url=https://eatsleepride.com/]here) which incorporates a system called Crashlight which will send an alarm call if it detects you've crashed. Also allows you to record your ride route in great detail.

It's a locator that detects when the bike moves, when the battery is detected, when the bike leaves a designated zone, and can track its location anywhere. It's an anti-theft and recovery system. If I park the bike somewhere, I can pin that location. If the bike moves from that spot, I get a text notification. If it's stolen, I can track its location.

Somewhere b/w 70-100. Not extravagant, but I'm having a hard time determining its value. Probably one of those things you wouldn't really value until you had to use it.
