Navigation and tracking systems aren’t very difficult to find, as there are so many models available right now in the market. This means everyone has the chance to choose the one he/she thinks is the best, according to their needs. The only problem with these devices is for the customer to come to a conclusion, regarding the compatibility between the device and the needs.




Rocky Mountain Tracking has just released and presented to the general public a brand new GPS device, called Trac-King, which is said to be “the most innovative device yet”. The Trac-King is not only convenient, but also a portable-passive GPS device, being powered by two AA batteries. A single battery cycle allows a record time of approximately 80 hours of continuous movement.



The information is stored on the internal memory of the device, but it can be downloaded to a computer by using a USB port. The user can choose between three different viewing options, such as a daily log, a route display from street maps and a route display on satellite imagery, provided by Google Earth.

As I said before, the Trac-King is very portable, as it measures only 3.01 x 1.95 x 1.40 inches. In addition, being made of ABS plastic casing, it is able to operate in terms of high performance at temperatures from -15 to 185 degrees Fahrenheit. A great thing is that the device comes with magnets inside, so that the user can install inside or outside the vehicle. Not to mention the integrated motion sensor that does a tricky thing, as it is automatically sent to bed, if I may say so, or to the “sleep mode”, if the device hasn’t been used for two and a half minutes.

“The Trac-King is one of the most inventive and user-friendly GPS devices on the market today, because of its design and incredible software functionality”, said Brad Borst, the President of Rocky Mountain Tracking. In addition, he said that “The Trac-King is a more advanced version of the Tracking Key and 3100, which are passive devices that RMT has sold about 12,000 of over the couple years. The Trac-King tracks every second, within a few meters accuracy, and record times, addresses, direction and speed of travel, and stop duration”.

Compatible with operating systems such as Windows 2000, XP and Vista, these portable GPS systems can be yours for $269 each.
