Garmin Gtu 10 Live Gps Tracking Device


Garmin seems to be experimenting with a new live GPS tracking device called GTU 10 as we caught a glimpse of it in the FCC docs. It is not announced yet as they have a request to keep external, and internal photos, users manual, and test setup photos under cover for another 45 days.

We’re not exactly sure what market Garmin is after with the GTU 10 but the device is called “GSM/GPRS enabled GPS tracking device” and operates on GSM850 and PCS1900 frequencies. It is also powered by via USB port and that’s really all we can get the from the available FCC docs.

We’ll just have to wait and see.

Amber Alert Gps 2g


Amber Alert GPS today launched the Amber Alert GPS 2G, a GPS child tracking device. The device allows for parents to create a virtual safe zone, follow their kids bread crumb trail, and be alerted when their child reaches their destination. It even has voice monitoring, and even the ability to monitor the speed of a vehicle your child is riding in. There’s also the usual panic button that almost all live GPS tracking devices has.

The device itself costs a whopping $400 and you can pay between $10 to $60 for the service charge.

We think it is quite costly.

Indian Himalayas Gps Maps

Ever wanted to get your hands on GPS maps of far away places – whether it is just for vacation – or adventure? You already probably know names like Navteq or TeleAtlas can’t help you out much. Don’t even think about Garmin – we’re talking about places where cars won’t make – or never seen before.

Then you’re going to have to go with smaller names – people who make the GPS maps themselves. Guys here are working some GPS maps for your most remote travels plans and so far they have the following:

Indian Himalayas

Excellent maps of Ladakh that includes road from Kargil to Leh, Nubra & Shyok Valley, Zanskar Valley, Kargil and Dah Hanu, Shyok and the North East, Leh to Tso Moriri, and even extreme South East.

Another set of maps are for Lahaul AND Spiti, which is split into Manali to Keylong, Manali to Spiti, Spiti West and Spiti East, Lingti Valley, Pin Valley, and Kinnaur to Spiti.

There’s even the maps for the part from Keylong in Lahaul up to Leh – not found anywhere else.

Sri Lanka

For Sri Lanka the there are 20 maps which cover main roads, secondary roads, small roads, and even 4 wheel drive and dirt tracks. Maps are about 6500×7500 pixels where each one is about 4-5 MBs. There are also detailed town maps for most cities and tourist destinations including Colombo, Galle, Kandy, Anuradapura, etc.

Maldives

GPS maps for Maldives include 11 maps, based on very accurate measurements and high resolution satellite images. The capital city of Male will have a street level map very soon.
