Can we track real time location of unit with Google maps? Similar to SPOT?

Yea u can send your bread crumb at intervals from 1 min to 8 hrs I believe. When you send a message to someone they can go to an attached URL to track your bread crumb trail

You might be able to with the premium tracking feature, which costs a bunch per month.

Not in real time - that is you can see where it has been after you plug it into your computer. It does not send it's location to you when it is not attached. It is for reviewing where it has been instead of live tracking. Live tracking units are more expensive as they either require a broadband or cell phone connection. I believe you can find some that might connect to an open WiFi and send data - but that would be a sporadic update.In short If I understand your questions correctly: No. ;)

Yes. Note that the watch has a GPS chip that tracks the coordinates of where the watch is, and the information can be uploaded to Strava, Runkeeper, MapMyFitness, etc. These apps are widely used in Singapore and I know because I have several friends who use them there. TomTom's site is not useful and I'm not sure if they have map of Singapore (I suspect they do.)

There is a "Maps" app that comes installed. If you allow it to do so, (and you have Wi-Fi or a data connection) it will show you where you are and give directions to a destination. It doesn't actually give the GPS coordinates but there is an app for that too (I use "My Altitude").

No. The current location isn't always accurate. And the trackr disconnects time from time giving you a false location.

As far as I know, the unit logs only the GPS location with a certain interval based on user settings. The individual GPS points registered are used to plot a track, and by that, the movement of the user can be seen. Motion, other than the movement based on the track log can not be identified. The vibration sensor is a.f.a.I k. only used to wake the unit from "sleep mode" - a power saving feature, and is not related to any data collection.

It based on GPS join with locations DB that update continuously.It works really good. but the update application is terrible :-(

Device uses GPS will track car anywhere within the US. I have mine set to update every 15 mins. It also shows the route that was taken to get to where car current is located. Hope this helps you.

I returned my explorist 710, the track time and date was always incorrect. I bought a Garmin Oregon, which I love. I use it to track my rides and hikes. I believe you can download maps, but I haven't. The altitude is extremely accurate.

No. Not really. It records lat/long with time. But, the accuracy of all consumer GPS units is 50 feet. So, if you sit in one place for 15 minutes then any GPS unit will show you moving around that spot at incredible speeds. It could show you 50 feet to the left one second and 50 feet to the right the next. Computer software can smooth that out and give you a general overall speed.

You can track all distances traveled. Reset to zero is simple. You can track waypoint to waypoint. Current place to any waypoint you have established. This unit can do everything a beginner could want.

Absolutely. There is a free software you can use to transfer way points to the unit as well via USB. I'm currently using it to locate and mark utility manholes.

Can I program the unit so that it will follow stops that I have designated along the way and also will I be able to modify the path to my liking?

It does, but it is a little different from most gps sensors in that the map program has to explicitly use it. Nokia "Here Maps" uses it.

You hide this in a geocache, and it will send out a signal that can be picked up by another gps. So you don't actually have to find it, you could have It so when you get within 20-30 feet it automatically gives them new coordinates. It would work really well in a multi cache.

No however you do not get real time tracking, the unit has to be placed in or on the vehicle and then removed and information downloaded post journey.It seems the most reasonable item out there for the money, i.e. once you have paid for it that's it. It does burn through batteries and if the batteries fail half way through a trip then you seem to lose the rest of the data. It works for us doing random vehicle tracking on day journeys, it may not work if used for a several day road trip.

yes, you can plan your routes in google maps ( or any other similar mapping application ) and then import the routes into GPS unit. The maps can be updated as well.
