*****************************************************************************

An interesting GPS-enabled item called Trackstick has been introduced  
that may be of interest to museum folks, including those with large  
outdoor exhibit areas, like zoos and historic sites.

About the size of a pack of gum, this clip-on battery powered real- 
time tracker records time/movement and then interfaces with mapping  
programs like GoogleEarth to show the real time path(s) taken by the  
wearer.

It looks like a slick little package for just over $100 bucks.

for.html>

Does anyone have experience using any of the Trackstick models in a  
museum context?
