Putting tracking devices on vehicles
-
2016-02-14 at 7:45 PM UTCI was thinking back of when my friend use to commit identity theft. He always had to check mailboxes to see if the card came and would sometimes have to check the mailbox several times until the mail carrier would deliver the mail. If he had put a small tracking device onto the mail carries truck, he would know exactly when the mail was delivered and would be able to retrieve the mail before the real owner of the mailbox could.
Another thing a person could do, is place one of these onto a car of someone that they're going to rob and/or kill, and be able to track them down to the perfect secluded spot. Placing one of these on an armored truck to get it's route, or even a bunch of these on police cars to keep track of where they are, could benefit a criminal.
Making a homemade tracking device using a cheap prepaid cellphone, a cellphone battery pack, and a small plastic case with strong magnets, would be less than $200. An app on the phone could send the location of the vehicle to an email address, and another app on another phone(kept with the criminal) could read this email message and display the location on Google maps.
What else could be done? -

A few hunder dollars and it's not live...rip off.
I'd just make two Android apps, one that goes on the phone(phone A) that goes onto the vehicle, the other will go onto the phone(phone B) that'll be used to view where the vehicle is. The app that's on the phone A would simply get it's own GPS location every minute(this would configurable) and send the location to an email address(any email address would do, but it would be bet to have a list of email address to go through, due to email providers limiting the amount of emails in a day). The phone(phone B) that I have to view where the vehicle is, would simply check that(or those) email adress(es) every 30 seconds(configured to half of the time that is set on phone A), retrieve the GPS data, and present it on a map(most likely Google Maps). -

You should make one and show us how it looks. I would be interested to see it. I'm not great with computers so I wouldn't know anything about making apps. -
