Actually, we were 5 people, and it was to unsafe to ask for transit visa. If just 1 of a group gets denied, the group must split or cancel.
So we asked for Tourist visa over an agency.
Easy and no problem.
And the year before we tried to get a transit visa and were refused.
And for the thing with the GPS tracker:
I met travellers with cars with this GPS trackers but no motorbike rider got one.

May I ask you which agency you used for the tourist visa to Turkmenistan?

Hi Klaus,
how many days you applied for and did you need a guide?
2019 we got a transit visa without problems and had a GPS tracker in the car.
regards
Bernd

We applied for 5 days, but just needed 3 days.
2017 we also applied for a transit visa in Vienna and did not get one.
We even tried in Teheran at the Turkmenistan embassy with any others, nobody of us got one.
So 2018 we used the travel agency for a tourist visa.
The guide came with us in a car, but actually this was ok and helpful.
And we got a extra day in Ashgabat with a guide to visit the city.
No gps.
And we met a few travellers who got their fotos erased on camera, laptop and flash storage.
Because the customs ment, with a transit visa you dont need to take pictures.
We could get out without this problem.
But i got all th pictures stored twice on different backups anyway.

I forgot to ask if having a Visa of Kazajistán or Uzbekistan is mandatory to get a Turkmenistan Transit Visa. Hi

Yes, or you need to prove that you are eligible for a visa on arrival.

For the transit visa, yes you need the visa of both countries in your passport (ie Iran and Uz). I am not sure if they will grant you a transit visa from Kazakh to Uz, because they share a direct border. On that route, you would likely need the tourist visa.
For the tourist visa (which costs more and might require an agency and a guide that travels with you), there is no requirement on neighboring visa as far as I know.

No, in 2017 we got denied in Teheran.
And also we met lots of other travellers, which got denied there.
Some waited for several weeks
