Whether you’re going on a vacation, a hike, or you just like to watch where the day takes you — from an almost voyeuristic viewpoint –, the Trackstick II is the tool for you. The Trackstick II combines 4GB USB flash storage with a GPS tracking and geolocation device, and a pedometer.
Using the tool, you can geotag the photos you save to the drive with your current location and save them to Flickr, see where you are at any point in time using Google Maps, and count the number of steps and see how far you’ve traveled in a day.
The Trackstick II is powered by a pair of AAA batteries, and once it’s turned on, it’ll keep track of where you roam. When you plug it in to your computer, a Google Map will conveniently show you where you’ve been. You can share that Google Map, along with your path and waypoints, with friends.
The Trackstick II reminds me a lot of the SPOT Satellite Messenger, except without the emergency assistance, or check-in features. In other words, not as useful, but still fun. The Trackstick II will set you back $199 US, and is available now.
