Is it possible to log the data from the vibration sensor used in the unit? I would like to track both GPS location and motion if possible.

No. But velocity is the derivative of position, so it would be possible to calculate velocity from the GPS position data if you can program.

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.

Hey Thanks man, I will sure try this if I get problems with next unit, I should receve it sometime next week. To be honest I feel like naked without my GPS ...lol

Using opensource software, I have been able to record on motion detection. I believe the SW allows you to set it up to record only at certain times.

No, the GPS receiver is only for logging your position. It is not a navigation system.

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.

No motion sensor. Also, recording pauses if you play a song. You can set it to resume when the song is over, but it's a roll of the dice. The manual claims that there are all sorts of settings and button functionalities. But they seem to work on an arbitrary basis. The only thing it does consistently is record whilst looking like a clock. I wouldn't rely on it for much else.

It would measure crank rpm depending on app you use to receive signal..some apps require movement from GPS as well. I believe Strava has a stationary option.

Sorry I have no idea since the last sensor I had never wore out. Anyways I think this product is a waste of money now given apps like RunKeeper.

The speed sensor is like a back up system if you are not getting gps signal. There are few places in the us you might need, or if you ride on rollers/trainer and you want to track. Without these 2 things in normal riding you will get all GPS and Speed, Distance, Time, Calorie Data

Yes. I've got mine to record 100% of the time, but also make a log in the system when there is motion. You can also pick which portion of the monitor to record the motion on, so you can block out trees and such so there are fewer false reports.

Yes! Just use the motion sensor mode and it will detect any movement and record it.

#1 No. The unit logs as long as the switch is on and, of course, the battery has power. #2 Yes. The unit records the track. At regular intervals, the unit logs lat/long with time. When you get to a laptop, you use software to copy the track to your computer. The Holux EZTour software is free for the purchaser. EZTour allows you to set the controls on the device. Export your tracks to the laptop. View your track on Google Maps in Street-View or Satellite. View in Google Earth and save. Edit or merge your tracks, Write lat/long in photos and video. Create webpage for all that and play your movement on the trail. There are more software programs to do these things. And, so much more, that I could write a book. But, not here.

This is a data logger. Not a real time tracking device. Download data at the end of trip on a computer and then review report.

Hi Christine, I don't remember trying to locate its position using my computer because I don't think it works. This unit is a GPS recorder. As such it does NOT send out any signal. So it cannot be located in real time. But since it records its locations, you can download its location file after a trip and find out where it went. Hope this reply helps. :-)

Good morning. I regretted having bought this alarm. It was a waste of money and would have returned it if only I could at that time. I hope this answers a question in your mind about the reliability of this sensor.

No the motion sensor is automatically included. Even if you don't have the subscription it will still notify you of motion, but it won't be recorded.

Yes. You can set to motion detect but it is fairly sensitive. Leaves blowing trip it. It trips with a 3sec or so delay. Records for 30 seconds, then off if no more motion. Also has sound and good night vision. Not bad for the price. Recommend large SD card to store data.
