Ecco Gps Locator

Ecco GPS Locator is a little handy GPS device that can help you locate things, places, etc. Not to be confused with GPS vehicle tracking, this little thing can only mark where you are – but can’t transmit its location back to you or anyone else. It is what we like to call a GPS backtracker.

Let’s say you’re visiting a new city and want to take a walk outside and discover some places. It would be a good idea to mark your position as soon as your step out your hotel, so you can always head back safely. It actually lets you store up to 3 locations – so why not another for where you parked your rental, and another for the restaurant you saw on the way. Ecco GPS locator is as small as a basic key fob and doesn’t look much different other than the blue backlit LCD screen. It can track 32 satellites at once and promises to get you a position fix in 60 seconds.

When it is time to head back to one of your marked spots this GPS locator can you show you the distance and an arrow pointing where you need to go. Imperial or metric. It measures 1.5×0.5×3 inches. Costs $99 on Amazon.

Gps Theft –how To Prevent It

The increasing popularity of satellite navigation units or GPS devices has also seen an increase in its theft too. Quite a handful of vehicles break-ins were reported recently with the GPS units stolen from the vehicles. Leaving the GPS unit mounted to the windshield is one of the main reasons for attracting thieves. And if it is turned on, it acts as a beacon giving ‘I am-here’ signals to the person. To ensure safety of your GPS device, you must always make sure that you close the windows and lock the doors of your car before leaving it. Flicking a GPS unit takes nothing more than a few seconds. And if the GPS is attached to your bicycle or motorcycle, make sure that you remove it and slip it in your pocket before leaving your vehicle.

Having a GPS auto theft recovery system is a must these days. With an anti-theft GPS system in place, you can be rest assured that your vehicle can be easily tracked, no matter where the thief takes it. Here again, make sure that you track your vehicle within a few minutes after the theft, before any damage can be done to your vehicle or to the GPS unit by the thief. You will also come across GPS theft protection systems that send an alert to the owner when the car alarm goes off. This allows the owner to act quickly before anything happens.

Some tips as suggested by experts are:

• Make sure that you always roll up the windows and park your car in a well-lighted area.
• Make use of a car alarm system and always remember to keep it activated.
• Make note of your GPS serial number, for this will serve as a proof that the GPS belongs to you.

Smallest Gps Receiver Ever

Epson and Infinion’s XPOSYS PMB 2540 chip is world’s smallest A-GPS receiver ever. Unless that’s a giant match we can see this fitting into every gadget that you carry.

XPOSYS PMB 2540 only measures 2.8×2.9 mm and will be mass produced starting late this year and will consume only half as much power as other A-GPS receivers… Yay? How do you feel about this? via
