Civic EG tracking map

So if anyone remembers, my car was stolen back in September 2011. Ever since I got it back, I've been searching for a way to track my car (without buying lo-jack) and without spending so much money. Since November of 2011, I've found a way to track my car.

The picture you see is where my car has been. It's tracked every 3 minutes. If my car moves from where I last parked it, my phone will notify me and I WILL catch you.

To my point...
This is a security measure I took and I wanted to share this with you all. If you're interested in what I've done and/or would like me to make you one, I'll be glad to. PM me!

It cost me 40 dollars total to make it and start using it(I got my stuff from craigslist and a local autoparts store). It works by using a tracking device from phone; satellite GPS.

I PROMISE I will have a DIY soon!

Here is a little night drive. This time, I put the settings for 5 minute tracking. I used roads that had very weak phone signal. Check it out!
