Garmin GTU 10 GPS locator hands-on
Among tons of generic GPS devices at its booth, Garmin had the new GTU 10 GPS locator out for the world to see on the CES floor. If you need a refresher, this little tracker connects to AT&T's network and lets you keep tabs on anything you choose to hook it onto. The signage showed the compact locator on a dog collar, though there's also a carabiner attachment so you can attach it to pretty much anything. We spotted the tracking app running on a Galaxy Tab, so it looks like Android support is definitely on the table -- we're still in the dark on compatibility with other mobile operating systems. Other than that there's not much to say, but feel free to peruse our shots of the discreet black blob in our gallery below. %Gallery-113416%
Garmin GTU 10 GPS locator tracks whatever you want, wherever AT&T's coverage goes
GPS is that stuff that gets you home when you have no idea where you are, but it can also be the thing that helps you find those dealies you left... somewhere. At least, it can be if you have a GTU 10 GPS module from Garmin attached to said dealies. It's a little integrated unit that has a wireless connection and can, for better or worse, dial itself to AT&T's data network. It updates its location in regularly and allows you to see just where that is via the Garmin Tracking site. Or, you can download the Garmin Tracker app to your mobile device (of undisclosed provenance) if you prefer to use your active voice, enabling you to get turn-by-turn directions right to your wayward GTU. It'll even fire you an e-mail or a TXT if whatever it is you've attached it to strays too far outside of your safe zone. The GTU 10 looks to be available now at $199.99, which includes one year of tracking. You're stuck paying $49.99 per year after that -- or, you know, losing your stuff. %Gallery-112511%
