Mainnav readies MG-950D data logger

There's not a whole lot out there on this one just yet, but apparently, Mainnav is getting set to unveil the MG-910D's successor -- at least, that's what we gather from the "available soon" icon beside it on the firm's website. Nevertheless, we do know that it will sport a SiRFstarIII GPS chipset, a display that shows speed, altitude and latitude, bike mounting hardware and a weatherproof enclosure. Additionally, we're told that it can store up to 120,000 waypoints at once and can interface with Windows-based software (presumably for Google Earth viewing). We're not quite sure if this one sports Bluetooth, but considering the current MG-910D does, we'll be banking on the feature carrying over. Look for more info early next month once CES rolls around.

Has anyone ever stuck one of these onto a cat for a day? I know someone put a mini cam on a simple circuit to take pictures every 10 or so seconds on the cat's coller, but what about GPS? this thing dosent look too heavy

The animal fanatics have tagged every kind of animal on earth already with tracking devices, from whales to kangaroos, from lions to eagles, every kind imaginable.
And I think someone should stop them already, but that's another matter.
