For our Iceland Arctic Trucks Expedition ICE2015 expedition, we custom made a purpose built tracking system for our Exploration Vehicles.

We used a credit card size computer called Raspberry Pi, combined with a GPS module attached to it.

It's a simple, yet very accurate tracking device, which when plotted to a mapping system, really does allow you to see where you have been, and what route you have taken.

What is more, the map displays “live” or “real time” tracking data of the location where the vehicle is at that moment, which can be invaluable when in the highlands, away from any reference point or civilization.

We will be using this tracking device on our forthcoming Iceland Arctic Trucks Expedition ICE2017, and will be publishing maps on a regular basis via our website daily blog (www.ice2017.no).

Visit our ICE2017 website to find out more details and information.
