Radiant Technology has introduced a miniature GPS, AirLite GPS, “with big capabilities,” according to company officials.
“It’s small enough to hold in a person’s hand or become a part of a keychain and always works, even when the cell network is down or the phone, forgotten,” officials said in a press release.
“AirLite GPS is designed to be a very inexpensive personal navigation tool, offering features useful for pilots, adventurers, and hikers,” said James Wiebe, company founder. “With its very sensitive and quick-acquiring GPS module, it can track up to 14 satellites simultaneously. By setting a Point Of Interest (waypoint) at the start of a hike or flight, you can always return back, or you can plot a course to your next destination. Alternatively, setting a waypoint at the North Pole is a wonderful compass hack, providing accurate directional tracking with no compass deviation.”
