Trackstick II looks pretty cool and can be like products from the same category used for explicit or covert surveillance of your teenage children or track your company vehicle.

The sale price of 175.97 (Amazon) is rather attractive compared with its competitors. California residents with get 8.3% tax added.

These devices receive their siganls from the twenty-four Department of Defense satellites orbiting the earth and can potentially be used anywhere.

An alternative is Tracking Key GPS. It is a small, pocket sized device that “accurately determines the location of the device within 2.5 meters” and records this data every second. It is priced at $225.

Trackster II appears better featured at a better price. MightyGPS World Tracker is another alternative priced at $392. It is the smallest of the lot. It provides detailed reports including position speed and distance traveled

However neither of them can actively transmit the data live. To do that you need to something like LiveWire real time GPS trackers.
