FAQ:
- Will this replace a SPOT or InReach satellite tracker?
No, a cellular tracker will only work where you have cell phone signal. So depending where you expect to adventure, a satellite tracker may still be required. e.g. Flying around mountains. However the cellular tracker will give much faster updates e.g. every few seconds, compared to every 5 minutes for a satellite tracker. So using both gives the best of both worlds! - Why would I want this instead of just using my cell phone?
Wiring a cellular tracker into your vehicle/aircraft means it's always working when your vehicle power is turned on. No forgetting to turn on an app. Also a dedicated device means your phone battery isn't being drained quickly. - Do I need this as well as ADSB or FLARM tracking in my aircraft?
That depends whether you have ADSB or FLARM installed already, and what the coverage for both is like in your flying area. Also cellular tracking works right down to ground level, while ADSB and FLARM tracking does not always. PureTrack will combine all tracking methods, for the best possible coverage. - How much power does it use?
Not much, about 36mA and peaks at 1A max (e.g. while transmitting). It would take many days to drain a standard glider 9Ah battery.
