Ingenious addition of motion switch
Does unit report last location when it stops moving before it shuts off each
time?  Michael Shortt

Don't forget the monthly fees.

I have one for my car but I am doing it myself. I also built a motion
circuit to keep it off (battery) except when in motion. Sitting in the car
is enough to turn it on and get it reporting. It also emails my blackberry
and I can view it's location on my blackberry. This way, the car can be
driven or trailered, but the minute it is moved, I get notified.

Problem with trailers is a constant power. If you power a trailer from the
trailer wiring then you hope they hook it up; some times thieves don't
knowing some run GPS off the power. If you run off a battery you need a way
to keep the battery always charged. If it runs down then you are AOL. Always
issues with trailers. Solar panels expensive and not realistic. Always
difficult issues with trailers.

At least 50% of the trucking industry uses this technology. While theft
recovery is a benefit, it is not the primary reason it is used.
