The new compact Anytrack GPS-100 brings GPS location information to the palm of your hand, working underground and inside buildings, with a rechargeable battery that lasts for weeks in standby mode.

The Anytrack GPS-100 doesn't need a line-of-sight, as it uses a combination of GPS technology and cellular signals to calculate its position, whether indoors or outdoors, throughout the US.

The applications for a portable tracking device small enough to fit into a pocket include:

• Child safety – monitor a youngster’s progress on his way to and from school
• Teenagers – keep tabs on novice drivers or teenagers who tend to stay out late (oh sure, your teenager is really going to love that idea!)
• Track vehicles or boats – limited to US waterways and coastal areas

Clicking on the "Locate Now" button activates the anytrack.net system, which uses two-way digital cellular communication to contact the device and retrieve its current location.
