What is TracStik?
The Track Stick records its own location, time, date, speed, heading and altitude at preset intervals. With over 1Mb of memory, it can store months of travel information. All recorded history can be outputted to the following formats:

RTF (Detailed text file with .html map links)
XLS (Microsoft Excel spread sheets)
HTML (Webpage with graphics and maps)
KML (Proprietary Google Earth file)

HOW it works
The Trac Stik receives signals from twenty four satellites orbiting the earth. With this information, the Track Stick can precisely calculate its own position anywhere on the planet to within fifteen meters.

Where it works
The Trac Stik will work anywhere on the planet Earth. Using the latest in GPS mapping technologies, your exact location can be shown on graphical maps and 3D satellite images.

The Trac Stik's micro computer contains special mathematical algorithms, that can calculate how long you have been indoors. While visiting family, friends or even shopping, the Trac Stik can accurately time and map each and every place you have been.
