Devices That Track Every Precious Need

The ZoomBat seems practical for tracking inventory that is being transported over long distances. But at $200 dollars for the initial purchase plus $10 a month, I would only use these on really important items.

But they talk about a lot of different practical uses that current GPS technology is already providing. Here's a few examples mentioned in the article:

"A home builder is putting them on expensive appliances to track them if they disappear from construction sites. A drug company is using them after millions of dollars in inventory turned up missing. A mobile phone company is hiding them in some cellphone boxes to catch thieves."

I am pretty sure some of us might need something like this every once in a while.
