Great idea, couldn’t this also be combined with a hacked eye-fi card to become a tracker?

@blizzarddemon: That wouldn’t work (the Eye-Fi is just wifi, and for most applications, you won’t have Wi-Fi along the whole way)…however, you could use a cellular data modem stacked on top of that–that would work perfectly.

@gazoogleheimer Oh Im not saying its %100. No wifi, no upload, but it’d be a cool idea to try anyway. Alot cheaper then spending the $500+ on a tracker.

@BlizzardDemon – you could trick the eye-fi card by “faking” a JPEG write to the card and putting the info in there, but that still wouldn’t really work because the eye-fi card needs an open or already-setup hotspot to upload images/data from.

if you want to do a diy tracker, get a cheap cell phone (google or search here for for the projects that use that).
