GPS receivers now small enough to attach to literally anything
September 6, 2011
Telemetry Solutions of Concord, California, has developed a GPS receiver and data logger small enough to attach to tiny objects to track the location of anything from lost keys to a runaway pet, a Technology Review blog reports.
Data can be downloaded directly from the chip upon recapture, or it can be downloaded wirelessly from up to 500 meters away. The device has been attached to a fruit bat for research purposes.
