GPS On A USB Flash Drive

I couldn't resist posting this, a GPS on a USB flash drive, Trackstick. The technology is awsome although I'm not sure all of its potential applications are. Imagine what, uhm uhm, a certain noisy administration could do with these, or might be already.

It might be fun for students in the classroom to track business travelers on their world wide journeys or extreme adventurers on expeditions all in real time.

The GPS records date, time, location, direction, altitude, and speed. It receives signals from 24 satellites and has a built in 1MB memory, enough to store months worth of travel data. You can use Google Earth amoung others to re-trace routes using the stored data. The perfect high-tech travel log.

I do want to emphasize that I don't condone most of the uses that Trackstick promotes for this devise on their website, which I purposely left off.
