Grumble. Finally got a chance to test fit the tracker on the bike, and found out that the TNC itself, let alone with the GPS atop it, won't fit in the obvious mounting spot. So I'm considering going with one of the TinyTrak units with their miniature 20-channel GPS. But, that takes money...

I really like the TT3+/GPS2 from Byonics.. Even though right now it's sitting on my desk (Both trackers are on my desk), it's a great solution.. And VERY small..

I had the GPS under the rear deck cover near the third brake light in my wifes car. Locked in under 30 seconds every time.

Thinking about the TT3 or TT4 some more... Leaning towards the 4 with the display. Anything good/bad/neutral on the TT4 itself? It's mainly because of the decode and display vs. just reporting.

I've not toyed with a 4 yet.. But on the Yahoo group I've not seen much negative.. Mostly "new toy-itis" it's new and they're not sure how to run it.

I'd like to get one and play with it to see what all it'll do.
