GPS tracker for bicycle 4G/3G (T16 and LK110)

Antonio3 years ago

Hi there,

yesterday I was searching on the web for a GPS tracker for my bicycle, from an old discussion on the Traccar forum, I've found out about the T16 GPS tracker for bicycle on Aliexpress (https://it.aliexpress.com/item/32776267954.html), searching a bit more though I've found out an alternative that has 4G/3G/2G capabilities for connection:

There is also an aliexpress link but it is double the price, what do you think, could be this model compatible wit Traccar software?

Or do you have a better alternative to use on a bicycle in mind?

I was thinking to go this way because the 2G frequencies are going in EOL in the next years (theoretically though it has still 5-8 years of life in my country)

Thank you very much for the response

All common Chinese protocols are supported, so this device is likely supported as well. But you can always ask the vendor.

I was reading the description of the item and it says:
3) Q: Can I choose to use other platforms or my own servers?
A: Yes. We have long-term cooperation with many third-party platforms such as Wialon, Traccar and Gpsgate. Also, we could send our open communication protocols to you if necessary.

But when I've searched the codename LK110 on the Traccar compatible devices (https://www.traccar.org/devices/) I didn't found it in the list, so I'm asking just to be sure.

If you want a guarantee, I can't provide you that. But if they explicitly list Traccar there, it must be compatible.

Mmmm probably It will work, but I will go the safe way and get the 2G version, battery is more important to me in this case, and the 2g model has a big one.
