Tourist tracking with SkyTRX mini-GPS tracker

Tuesday 12 September 2006 by Edward.

You’re in charge of a hike in the woods, a coastal whale watch tour, or a biking expedition and you want to retrace your path taken. Perhaps you’d like to send the route travelled to members of your party, via the internet. New thumb-drive sized GPS tracking devices are entering the market that you can take on your travels to record your every movement.

SkyTRX is one such GPS tracker. This unit records every second once it receives its two AAA batteries — recording for 28-42 hours depending on the battery type used, and able to store 100 hours of data. It is compatible with Google Earth and Google Maps. Cost is about US$300.00

I had earlier posted notes about the GPS thumb-drive loggers GPS-CS1, by Sony, and the Trackstick.
