The Latest Device By Rocky Mountain Tracking
Fort Collins CO (SPX) May 13, 2009 Rocky Mountain Tracking has released to the public what may be the most innovative device yet, the Trac-King (GPS Tracking) device. The Trac-King is a convenient and portable-passive GPS powered by two AA batteries; the Trac-King is able to record up to 80 hours of continuous movement on a single battery cycle. According to RMT's president Brad Borst, "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." 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 past couple years. The Trac-King tracks every second, within a few meters accuracy, and records times, addresses, direction and speed of travel, and stop duration. The tracking data is then stored within the device until the user retrieves it by downloading the information via USB port to a computer. There are three viewing options to choose from: a daily log, route display from street maps, or route display on satellite imagery, using Google Earth. The Trac-King can fit in the palm of a hand, measuring 3.01" long x 1.95" wide x 1.40". The Trac-King is able to accurately operate in dramatic temperature ranges from -15 to 185 degrees Fahrenheit. Additionally, the Trac-King possesses faster GPS tracking signal acquisition and an easily accessible battery compartment, all housed within a completely water resistant ABS plastic casing. The device is also magnetized for easy installation either inside or outside the vehicle. A built in motion sensor will automatically set the Trac-King to "sleep mode" after two and a half minutes of inactivity. The Trac-King follows all communications protocol as required by the National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA). The device is compatible with most operating systems including Windows 2000, XP and Vista. Share This Article With Planet Earth
