INITIAL REVIEW of the low cost AP510 APRS Tracker with GPS/Bluetooth/Thermometer/TF Card Support/APRSdroid.
This is a small portable aprs tracker. So far I like it, but will report back over the summer as I make some long distance travels.
PROs

easy to program
smart + manual beaconing
records data to flash card
portable

metal case (except top where GPS chip is installed)
use any mini USB cable for charging
CONs
battery life unknown (some report 24 hours with two min beacons)
bluetooth limited to android
1 watt output
Thermometer built into unit
special programing cable need (comes with unit)
Found: (also on EBAY)
