I think it's easy to lose this device and I suspect it's easy for embedded battery to run low without easy on-the-go replacement.

Far better improvements would be a clip or strap on the device so it can be worn on the leg, arm, bag, etc and pulled off when needed. Or a smaller version on a bracelet or watch with a flip-up 'antenna'. The bracelet could be made quite wide but flat to accommodate the electronics, if needed.

Syncing to your PC and/or mobile so you can tell the device to be near a certain area...does that mean you have to be in that area when you sync, or can you choose far-off areas in advance of going there? How much will the map information cost, not to mention the likely cost of the device itself.

Questions, questions. In the meantime, I think there are far simpler (and more reliable, and more cost-effective) ways to make sure your child isn't lost.]]>Feb 16th 2007 9:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/16/dandella-handheld-gps-devices-simplify-navigation/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/16/dandella-handheld-gps-devices-simplify-navigation/Feb 17th 2007 2:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/16/dandella-handheld-gps-devices-simplify-navigation/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/16/dandella-handheld-gps-devices-simplify-navigation/Feb 17th 2007 4:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/16/dandella-handheld-gps-devices-simplify-navigation/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/16/dandella-handheld-gps-devices-simplify-navigation/Feb 16th 2007 9:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/16/dandella-handheld-gps-devices-simplify-navigation/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/16/dandella-handheld-gps-devices-simplify-navigation/That seems to happen a lot!!!!!]]>Feb 16th 2007 10:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/16/dandella-handheld-gps-devices-simplify-navigation/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/16/dandella-handheld-gps-devices-simplify-navigation/Feb 17th 2007 12:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/16/dandella-handheld-gps-devices-simplify-navigation/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/16/dandella-handheld-gps-devices-simplify-navigation/Feb 17th 2007 1:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/16/dandella-handheld-gps-devices-simplify-navigation/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/16/dandella-handheld-gps-devices-simplify-navigation/Feb 17th 2007 3:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/16/dandella-handheld-gps-devices-simplify-navigation/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/16/dandella-handheld-gps-devices-simplify-navigation/Feb 17th 2007 5:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/16/dandella-handheld-gps-devices-simplify-navigation/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/16/dandella-handheld-gps-devices-simplify-navigation/Feb 17th 2007 11:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/16/dandella-handheld-gps-devices-simplify-navigation/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/16/dandella-handheld-gps-devices-simplify-navigation/

How one of them knows position (not fixed/preloaded into it) of other?]]>Feb 18th 2007 1:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/02/16/dandella-handheld-gps-devices-simplify-navigation/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/16/dandella-handheld-gps-devices-simplify-navigation/
Ixa: I suspect that each stick has a unique identifier, and once one stick has given another stick the permission to view its coordinates (probably done through the dock) it can query them from the GPS or whatever database holds it.]]>Feb 20th 2007 10:05PM
