Say GoodBye to GPS and hello to W-Track A-GPS

MinigpsOkay, not really. However, New Scientist claims that in the year 2011, violent solar activity will disrupt GPS satellite navigation. Apparently, GPS recievers are highly senstitive to the radio noise produced by solar flares that arise by explosions in the sun’s atmosphere. When solar activity peaks in 2011, it could potentially cause widespread
disruption to  emergency location systems that
rely on satellite navigation data.
What does this mean for you? Don’t just jump off the GPS navigation wagon. Instead, take it for what it is and ride out the tide. Starting with this, W-Track A-GPS, an extremely neat A-GPS device. This tiny, and I mean tiny (65mm x 43mm x 28mm)  real-time GPRS connected GPS tracking device gives you an unprecedented view of your subjects activities. It refreshes every 15 seconds for god-sakes!

To all you smarties out there: the razor and keys are NOT included. Although, for $699,  I don’t see why not. - Natalie Mayslich
