Track Your Laptop With USB GPS Device

Written by Richard Blanchard on February 12th, 2009. Posted in GPS with USB

The individual user wouldn’t need this, but a GPS dongle for the corporate world would have it’s benefits.  For this reason, I-O Data released their first USB GPS key.

Now team this device up with Google Maps and any control freaked boss could track your where-a-bouts 24/7 [or is the new term 31].  Anyway, the USB GPS unit will cost you about $175 USD.  That seems a bit steep as you could furnish your employee with a Blackberry or iPhone for $199, and have the same benefits with loads more features.

But, for those on-site job descriptions this would also fit the bill.
