Title: Vehicle Tracking at Tall Pines
Post by rosswood on 11/21/14 at 06:40:23

A vehicle tracking system created by Mark Williams will be demonstrated at the 2014 Rally of the Tall Pines. Units will be installed in Car 00, Car 99 and the top three competitors’ cars.

This system is based on cellular communications, but the units have far better reception than cell phones. It has been tested at 5 events now, including Targa, with great success.

This system is set up to refresh every 10 seconds, but that interval is totally flexible.

Mark has costed it at $15-20 per car.

That cost per car is amazing compared to others I have seen.

Wow!

Looking forward to seeing this work. :)

All the lucky people with Android phones will have it right at their fingertips. Here's a little sneak preview:
