TrackStick – Portable GPS Tracker

April 7th, 2006

TrackStick allows you to 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.

TrackStick - Portable GPS Tracker

The Portable GPS Tracker is pretty small so you could either always carry it on you or use it in 007 spy mode by planting it on a person or vehicle you want to monitor. 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.

TrackStick features are as follow:

  • Records time, date, location, speed, direction and altitude
  • Works with Google Earth, Mapquest, maps.google.com, Virtual Earth
  • Location points are downloaded into its software and then mapped
  • Battery duration is 5 to 7 days of typical operation (low power mode)
  • Requires 2 AAA batteries (not included)
  • Dimensions: 4 x 1 1/4 x 3/4 inch
  • Comes with TrackStick, lanyard, software CD

The portable GPS tracker is available at ThinkGeek for $249.99
