It needs better functionality like a clock/time display to give the wearer incentive to wear it in the first place. Otherwise grandma might get confused as to why this thing is strapped to her in the first place and remove it.]]>Jan 23rd 2010 12:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/aerotel-geoskeeper-hits-finland-keeps-mummi-from-wandering-too/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/aerotel-geoskeeper-hits-finland-keeps-mummi-from-wandering-too/Jan 22nd 2010 8:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/aerotel-geoskeeper-hits-finland-keeps-mummi-from-wandering-too/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/aerotel-geoskeeper-hits-finland-keeps-mummi-from-wandering-too/Jan 22nd 2010 8:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/aerotel-geoskeeper-hits-finland-keeps-mummi-from-wandering-too/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/aerotel-geoskeeper-hits-finland-keeps-mummi-from-wandering-too/Jan 22nd 2010 8:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/aerotel-geoskeeper-hits-finland-keeps-mummi-from-wandering-too/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/aerotel-geoskeeper-hits-finland-keeps-mummi-from-wandering-too/Jan 22nd 2010 8:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/aerotel-geoskeeper-hits-finland-keeps-mummi-from-wandering-too/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/aerotel-geoskeeper-hits-finland-keeps-mummi-from-wandering-too/Jan 22nd 2010 8:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/aerotel-geoskeeper-hits-finland-keeps-mummi-from-wandering-too/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/aerotel-geoskeeper-hits-finland-keeps-mummi-from-wandering-too/Jan 22nd 2010 9:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/aerotel-geoskeeper-hits-finland-keeps-mummi-from-wandering-too/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/aerotel-geoskeeper-hits-finland-keeps-mummi-from-wandering-too/

also from finland. And it doesnt have a clock but it has bark detection.]]>Jan 22nd 2010 9:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/aerotel-geoskeeper-hits-finland-keeps-mummi-from-wandering-too/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/aerotel-geoskeeper-hits-finland-keeps-mummi-from-wandering-too/
Thank you! That was quick. Not quite right though. A thousand Euros and Java only. The GPS-tracker for my camera cost me 80. ]]>Jan 22nd 2010 9:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/aerotel-geoskeeper-hits-finland-keeps-mummi-from-wandering-too/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/aerotel-geoskeeper-hits-finland-keeps-mummi-from-wandering-too/Jan 22nd 2010 9:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/aerotel-geoskeeper-hits-finland-keeps-mummi-from-wandering-too/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/aerotel-geoskeeper-hits-finland-keeps-mummi-from-wandering-too/
Think of the benefits; now they can follow your grandpa too.]]>Jan 22nd 2010 12:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/aerotel-geoskeeper-hits-finland-keeps-mummi-from-wandering-too/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/aerotel-geoskeeper-hits-finland-keeps-mummi-from-wandering-too/
If You want a more cheaper device, with almost same functionality, try:

http://www.geodog.de/en

from Germany. No bark detection, but better locationing and huge battery lifetime.]]>Jan 22nd 2010 10:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/aerotel-geoskeeper-hits-finland-keeps-mummi-from-wandering-too/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/aerotel-geoskeeper-hits-finland-keeps-mummi-from-wandering-too/
Same locationing. Both have maps, directions and tracs of the dog.

No idea which have better battery life.]]>Jan 22nd 2010 10:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/aerotel-geoskeeper-hits-finland-keeps-mummi-from-wandering-too/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/aerotel-geoskeeper-hits-finland-keeps-mummi-from-wandering-too/
True, but although ultrapoint.fi states, that they have two or 4 battery packs, they do not comment on battery lifetime, whereas geodog.de does state, that they have 300 h in eco mode. I thought that's not too bad.
