When the pigeon is flying it record its view in front of the pigeon when u get the pigeon back u download of it and u can see a video of it flight

Just had a look at the web site with the gps videos, looks really interesting . I would love to see what path my birds take up past Loch Lomond then what they do to get past the Rest and be Thankfull. £130 punds a bit steep though, especially if it never made it home.

i've not seen anything about a camara that does that, the gps does the same thing so why would you need to see pictures of the ground, if you don't recon. any land marks how would you know which line the bird took, what if there's an head wind and the bird is hedge hopping you would'nt get to see anything worthwhile.

reckon gps would be a lot better id say half the time ud never know where the pigeon was with a cam

i would like to know what the distance the bird can be away from the loft and still get a signal or do you have to wait till the bird comes home to find out where its been but yes it looks very interesting also how much to replace the antena if lost to percy

you have to wait until the birds home then download the information it picks up from satelites as it's going along.

I think you remove it from the bird and down load the data to your computer. The £130 is for one I think so if percy got your doo you would be down a good few quid and none the wiser where the doo was. See other similar ones on ebay for £70 or £80.

that's the downside ally, there's no guarentees you bird with the gps will make it back then your well out of pocket. only for the rich i think.

I think it would be much better to transmit, real time then you could track the bird enroute. You would know where it is, what line it is taking and if it stopped or when its nearly home!

i think it would be worth the money just to see what kind of hazards they encounter on their way home.i,m sure you would make your money back by selling the dvds of the trip on here.just a thought.

as far as i know this can be done but was talking to gps about it they said at the moment its to costly but down the line without a doubt

 

also here a tought how far down the line will it be till we have a GPS and ets ring combined now there a idea that needs to be patten me thinking out load again  ;D ;D ;D

[pjc]

this would do the job if smaller!

 

This is an advanced GPS satellite positioning system tracker with precise tracking of an object anywhere in the world, works on all available GSM/GPRS mobile networks 850/900/1800/1900MHZ. Can be used to prevent vehicle theft, children protection, old people, pets, covert tracking, covert listening, etc...

 

 

 

FEATURES:

 

Support non-server based location

Location memorization

Auto location report

Authorize/delete the tracking phone number

Covert alert & voice surveillance

Geo-Fence: alert in case of breaching the predefined district

Movement alert: alert in case of movement

Speed alert: alert in case of excess of the predefinded speed

Power alert: alert when device is being switched off

 

 

HOW IT WORKS

Simply insert a GSM sim card into the GPS unit. Whenever you call the unit it will respond with the coordinates of its location thru a SMS message. You can then use these coordinates on any mapping software (for example google earth) which will show where exactly the unit is located.

 

With some little setup, you can also have the device to send the data directly to a computer thru GPRS and display its location on a map with our bundled software for real-time location tracking.

or if it was a long distance race you would see where it's roosted up for the night . and that would enable people to cheat.

true, think of what could have been won at last years europa but would you want to race a bird with extra weight?

[STARTER_09]

Good stuff i would taking the pigeons to far i know anything could happen to you pigeon but it would be good to see were your go speed route it takes might get one

[GREENGRASS]

no chance of cheating with the GEM gps system because the bird wearing the device must return home for you to download the data using google earth, the info provided is average speed and also speed at any number of set pointers. if you want to know which route your birds take when homing it shows you exactly also at what height they were flying at etc. I was sure brian said it was £130 for the software and one gps device and all others were £99 after that.
