but not $80 useful.

$25 useful.

Also requires function other than GPS so it's not a total waste

also needs to be smaller

you know what, this product just needs to not be itself and i'll be cool with it, so, you know, get on that]]>Dec 17th 2008 11:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/17/gps-homing-device-gets-you-back-where-you-started-nowhere-else/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/17/gps-homing-device-gets-you-back-where-you-started-nowhere-else/
Definitely useful for that trip to Disneyland/world.

$80 on the other hand.....

You can get some cell phones now a days with GPS for $80 (With contract, blah blah blah)]]>Dec 17th 2008 1:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/17/gps-homing-device-gets-you-back-where-you-started-nowhere-else/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/17/gps-homing-device-gets-you-back-where-you-started-nowhere-else/Dec 17th 2008 2:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/17/gps-homing-device-gets-you-back-where-you-started-nowhere-else/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/17/gps-homing-device-gets-you-back-where-you-started-nowhere-else/Dec 18th 2008 8:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/17/gps-homing-device-gets-you-back-where-you-started-nowhere-else/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/17/gps-homing-device-gets-you-back-where-you-started-nowhere-else/Dec 17th 2008 11:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/17/gps-homing-device-gets-you-back-where-you-started-nowhere-else/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/17/gps-homing-device-gets-you-back-where-you-started-nowhere-else/Dec 17th 2008 1:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/17/gps-homing-device-gets-you-back-where-you-started-nowhere-else/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/17/gps-homing-device-gets-you-back-where-you-started-nowhere-else/Dec 18th 2008 2:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/17/gps-homing-device-gets-you-back-where-you-started-nowhere-else/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/17/gps-homing-device-gets-you-back-where-you-started-nowhere-else/Dec 17th 2008 11:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/17/gps-homing-device-gets-you-back-where-you-started-nowhere-else/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/17/gps-homing-device-gets-you-back-where-you-started-nowhere-else/Dec 17th 2008 11:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/17/gps-homing-device-gets-you-back-where-you-started-nowhere-else/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/17/gps-homing-device-gets-you-back-where-you-started-nowhere-else/This would actually be useful for dirt biking in the NJ Pine Barrens. There are no real roads for a GPS to track and the place is huge (about 6200 sq/miles). Getting back to your starting point is not always easy.

$80 wouldn't seem that expensive when really lost :).

Of course I doubt this particular device has the strength to gather a signal under a canopy of trees, so its probably useless. ]]>Dec 17th 2008 11:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/17/gps-homing-device-gets-you-back-where-you-started-nowhere-else/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/17/gps-homing-device-gets-you-back-where-you-started-nowhere-else/Dec 17th 2008 11:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/17/gps-homing-device-gets-you-back-where-you-started-nowhere-else/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/17/gps-homing-device-gets-you-back-where-you-started-nowhere-else/this may have one flaw for hikers, that being; it tells you where you came from but not how to get there. think about it, it does not take you to the trail but I believe the shortest distance between two points (where you are and where you came form), there could be a river or a lake between you and where you came from.

nice try but there are better hiking GPS trail gadgets out there but a bit larger.]]>Dec 17th 2008 11:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/17/gps-homing-device-gets-you-back-where-you-started-nowhere-else/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/17/gps-homing-device-gets-you-back-where-you-started-nowhere-else/Dec 17th 2008 12:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/17/gps-homing-device-gets-you-back-where-you-started-nowhere-else/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/17/gps-homing-device-gets-you-back-where-you-started-nowhere-else/those are to separate activity. have u ever taken you kayak out and made some bends that u actually can remember which fork on the river you took. after a couple hours you start realizing how truly small you really are.]]>Dec 17th 2008 3:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/17/gps-homing-device-gets-you-back-where-you-started-nowhere-else/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/17/gps-homing-device-gets-you-back-where-you-started-nowhere-else/Dec 17th 2008 10:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/17/gps-homing-device-gets-you-back-where-you-started-nowhere-else/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/17/gps-homing-device-gets-you-back-where-you-started-nowhere-else/Dec 17th 2008 11:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/17/gps-homing-device-gets-you-back-where-you-started-nowhere-else/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/17/gps-homing-device-gets-you-back-where-you-started-nowhere-else/Dec 17th 2008 12:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/17/gps-homing-device-gets-you-back-where-you-started-nowhere-else/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/17/gps-homing-device-gets-you-back-where-you-started-nowhere-else/
