Portably Track (via GPS) Your Adventures Via Google Earth or Mapquest!

This small GPS gadget can easily be placed in a car, boat, land speeder, or just about any moving object and will record its own time, date, location, speed, direction and altitude. The recorded information can then be downloaded to your computer through the USB port and optionally integrated with Google Earth or Mapquest. This feature allows you to "playback" the location points of the TrackStick and see a visual mapped history of its travels. Containing 1MB of memory it can store up to 4000 records allowing for months of travel. When the TrackStick is not moving, memory is not used. The record interval is adjustable to anything between 1 and 15 minutes (this is used to save memory and will not extend the battery life). It’s so small you can hide it for covert applications. There are no special software applications to buy and the raw data can be exported in RTF, XLS, HTML, or Google Earth KML formats.

Also has these features.

"So, baby, you said that you went shopping, eh? So why was your car parked at your ex b/f's house for 45 minutes? Hmmm?"

I can build one of those. They sell them for like $300-500 or so. You can place it in the car and track for free (or at least for a small monthly payment). THAT is what the Honda/Acura people on this board should do if they don't want their cars stolen...

I have more than that just in the value of my tires so it's not like it's not worth it...(yeah yeah, hush Mr. 315/25/19's) :tongue:

Those chip will get lots of people in trouble.

Shit hide it in the door and if someone jacks your car you can find it again...and get the bastards arrested...

wouldn't do you any good for tracking your car of it's stolen because you have to download the info via the usb port after the fact so if you could do that you would already know where your car was. but it would be useful for tracking your kids where abouts through the day. with my kids i would tell the i am doing it, not trying to be sneeky.

This isn't used to track if it is stolen. I said that you would need a LIVE GPS tracker for that. However, those can be had for $300-500 + tracking fees (reather cheap).

thats pretty damn coool.

[ORGANIZATIONXIII]

wow.. but $250 bucks?!?!? well I guess its a small chunk of change for piece of mind....

However, those can be had for $300-500 + tracking fees (reather cheap).The one i "know about" has features just like an alarm, it connects to your door locks and everything so if you lock your keys out you can login in via internet (computer or phone) and unlock them yourself. I like the mapping feature...you can bring up the map, draw a box as a boundary, and if your car leaves that boundary it will alert you via e-mail or call you if it has the cellular feature. Live tracking is my favorite though, even has satellite image overlays so you can tell exactly where it is and you can set a timer so if your car moves even a foot during that time frame it will alert you. (ie 10pm to 7am) Good stuff, not so good for thieves ;)
