W-Track A-GPS hits town

Apparently, reknowned journal New Scientist states that the year 2011 will see extremely violent solar activity which will cause chaos for those who rely on GPS satellite navigation. This will definitely cause problems for existing GPS receiversMini_GPS.jpg which are extremely sensitive to the radio noise generated by above-mentioned solar flares. If the prediction comes true, then emergency location systems that rely heavily on satellite navigation data will be widely affected. What can you do in view of this impending doom and gloom scenario? You don't have to throw out your existing GPS navigation system just yet, but you can pick up the W-Track A-GPS device which offers real-time GPRS connected GPS readings 4 times in a minute, which enables you to keep track of your subject's activities without missing a beat. The A-GPS from W-Track is also extremely small, measuring a mere 65mm x 43mm x 28mm which fits comfortably into the palm of your hand. Get this product today for $699 and ease your worries about the future at the same time.

Pros : Future solar flare-proof, very small
Cons : Expensive
