The folks at TrackingTheWorld have already proven themselves to be pretty capable at tracking letters using GPS, but they've now moved up to some considerably more demanding tasks with their new WorldTracker Enduro device, which promises to track anything it's paired with through frigid temperatures, sweltering heat, and other harsh conditions. Of course, it'll also do that with all the accuracy you'd expect, with it making use of both standard GPS and aGPS to avoid any dropouts, and employing a a full range of cellular connectivity options to ensure that it always stays in touch. Better still, you can also pair it with an optional 8-cell lithium ion battery (pictured above), which not only provides some added protection, but lets the tracker operate for up to six months on a single charge. As with the letter tracker, however, this one apparently won't be available to the general public, but those with a fleet behind 'em can get in touch with TrackingTheWorld to talk pricing.
seems pretty descent.
and ascent too...
Jack Bauer would be proud.
Harshest environments? Really? Because I was reading an article earlier today about how a GPS was useless in a trek to the North Pole. Guess the people headed tthere missed out on this piece of tech... That or maybe some advrtisers and bloggers are blowing things out of proportion...
While temperature is a factor for the GPS hardware, it's not the main reason GPS doesn't work in the northern arctic region. The fact that very few satellites are visible there is more of an issue, since the constellations are set up provide more coverage in the equatorial reagions of the planet. In other words, this device would probably be just as useless there.
-if that isn't a Pelican Case then it sure as shit SHOULD be.
