Now you can be found after you’re dropped from the ride

Based on this entry I posted several days ago, this deveice could deinately come in handy.

The MyAthlete from gpVector is small GPS tracking device geared towards athletes. The MyAthlete ATS (Athlete Tracking System) utilizing the FCC certified 2-Way GPS PLS technology of GTX Corp (OTCBB: GTXO) . To normal people, this means it uses GPS for location information and a cellular network to upload the information.

Now your fans can track you at home instead of lending their support at the race! I can actually imagine quite a large range of integration possibilities: Polar’s fitness tracking, mapmyride.com, and other similar websites and exercise tracking packages. Where I foresee this being a moneymaker though, is for corporate use to track employees with company equipment.

For an outright purchase, it will cost $350 plus a monthly service fee.

To rent it for your event:

  • $20 – Half Marathons
  • $30 – Marathons & Half Ironman Triathlons
  • $40 – Ultra-Marathons & Adventure Races
  • $50 – Ironman Triathlons, Ultra-Ultra Marathons and multi-day events

From GTX:

The information generated by GTX Corp products is received and processed by a 24/7 data monitoring center which provides instant, real-time location information and movement history on Google Maps, and sends approved subscribers a proactive alert if the wearer goes outside of a user-customizable perimeter.

Personal Location Services (PLS) applications include:

  • Children/Family tracking
  • Elderly/Mentally Diminished tracking
  • Athletic Events/Bio-monitoring
  • Property/Security Military/Tactical
  • Social Networking/Entertainment

Has anyone used one of these yet for personal or race use?

It seems to be getting pretty good press: link

    If you want to buy real estate, you will have to receive the home loans. Furthermore, my sister usually utilizes a small business loan, which occurs to be the most fast.
