Spark Nano

A new GPS tracking device has been developed called the Spark Nano. The device is about the same size as a battery that fits in a smoke detector(9 volts). However, the Spark Nano is very durable and also waterproof.

With its tiny size you can easily attach it on any object that needs tracking. A panic button, a feature of the Spark Nano, can be used by the wearer to alert someone if he or she are danger. From home, people can track the device in real time via a Web site through a computer or smartphone.

This device contains a built-in rechargeable battery that can power it for up to five continuous days with a full charge.

I think that this device can be put to good use. At $299.95 and a required service plan starting at $45 month may be a bit costly but some people I can imagine it would be worth it.

  1. I read about this last week. It is a really cool concept.

    I imagine parent's could take a lot of advantage from this so they could keep up with their kids.
