Trackstick- USB GPS Data logger

[tonyjohnston]

Here's a cool (and maybe an illegal) way to track either your family or employee's activities. The TrackStick, powered by a pair of AA batteries, has a mini-GPS inside records time, date, location, speed, direction and altitude at preset intervals. It receives signals from 24 satellites orbiting our planet. The built-in 1MB memory allows months of travel information, which can be exported to RTF, XLS, HTML or KML to a PC via USB port.

To make sense of the numbers, you can easily re-trace the route using Google Earth, MapQuest, Microsoft Streets and other mapping services. Perhaps the best thing is that TrackStick can tell you how long the 'target' has stayed in one place.

We have seen those at CES. 1MB memory is rather underwhelming - the standard on the market is 8 MB. It also has a planar antenna which is not really smart for that type of device - a quad helix would have given much better reception. The USB port is certainly nice.
