GPS Tracking Goes Recreational!
Picture yourself and a group of friends on a hiking expedition through the Grand Canyon. Or biking across some rugged terrain. Or cross country skiing over a frozen, snow covered lake. Your digital camera captures color, scenery and all those highlighted moments with crisp, state-of-the-art precision.
But how do you return to one of these sites in a wilderness devoid of charted roads and identifying landmarks?
The GPS Tracking Key manufactured by LandAirSea, Inc. (www.landairsea.com) has for years been associated with military officials, police departments, business owners and concerned parents of teenagers, each bound by a common element – the need to track and record the location, speed and mileage of vehicles.
High tech satellite imagery has crossed over into a new dimension – the great outdoors!
“Traditional” goes non-traditional
A revived interest in outdoor activities has increased the demand for outdoor GPS devices and solutions, prompting new age adventurers to re-think the uses of the Tracking Key.
These open air enthusiasts are finding the Tracking Key helpful—entertaining even– in tracing routes that they’ve hiked, biked, skied or paddled on and storing them for later journeys. For hunters and fishermen who’ve stumbled upon that out-of-the-way spot where game is always plentiful, the Tracking Key is far more reliable than the legendary trail of breadcrumbs. And for athletes in training, it’s the most efficient method of monitoring time and mileage. Even in areas without roads, recorded data from the Tracking Key can be downloaded and displayed with the popular Google Earth® mapping capabilities to be viewed at any time.
Re-live your adventures!
Memories fade along with photos. Imagine for a moment being transported back to the banks of that pristine river where three years ago, you camped with your family amid nature and wildlife. The applications of the Tracking Key combined with the artistry of Google Earth’s® 3-D elevations allow you to re-create the enjoyment and excitement of such times as no picture or video can. The Tracking Key lets you pinpoint the exact location of places you visited, zero in on them and discover a whole new meaning to the phrase “virtual reality”.
Tracking Key vs. hand held receiver
For the outdoor recreational user, GPS technology affords a great deal of present and future potential. The hand held GPS receiver, for example, is fast becoming the compass of the new millennium. It features a futuristic combination of mapping techniques and navigational skills created to help users determine where they are and how to get from Point A to Point B. By no means can the Tracking Key replace this technology. The use of a handheld GPS receiver for navigational purposes can prove to be extremely valuable and a potential life saver.  But with the Tracking Key, you simply put 2 AAA batteries in it, throw it into the bottom of your backpack and forget about it until you return home!Â
As Global Positioning System technology continues to make headway into new categories of navigation solutions, the market will be deluged with more hand held gadgets with more bells and whistles to lure the more serious wilderness trekkers.
Yet, for those who prefer to wander wherever their spirit of adventure leads them…to travel with nothing more encumbering than a backpack…the Tracking Key may just be the perfect companion.
