Hi ATICs !

Is it possible ? The answer is a clear :

  Yes NO

In theory it is possible, but the high power consumption ... . However, if
you take the power from the battery of the motorbike, the effort is not
such high.

Use a GPS25 Garmin Board together with a GA27 Antenna (other boards will
work the same), connect the board to the GSM Module (Siemens or Nokia). In
principle it should be possible to send the position information if the GPS
and the mobile are powered and ON. It could be possible the a mini-computer
must be integrated too.

Pricing : about DM 2500;- to DM 3000;- (rough estimate) if you don't need a
mini-computer.

!!! I don't know any more details !!! I'm just forwarding the answer GPS
GEAR (in Germany) has provided.
