Default GPS Tracking

Can some one tell me the system the guy used riding to
Strugis last year. We could track his progress and see where he was all the time. My mother in-law wants it on her camper and anything to help her on her way.

I'm not sure what they used but if you have a GPS enabled phone, you can set it up to be tracked real time with Google Latitude!

HOLY Kaw. She WANTS to git an early bird RV site at Sturgis, IF she's leaving already !!!!
See you're in Florida. Hope she realizes, there's SNOW up there.

Really. I thought that was pretty interesting, to be able to 'track' his progress. But personally, not for me.
H*LL, I don't want the whole DAMMT Forum to know how friggin' long the panhead was broke down, longside the road !!!!!!

I remember that thread. It was the SPOT tracker. I thought it was so cool I went out and bought one. Unfortunately it fell off my bike somewhere along the Pacific Coast when on a road trip last summer. The bitch of it is when I got home a week later I looked up my tracking website and saw exactly where it fell off!
