GPS Letter Logger

Imagine being able to report the positioning of YOUR letter mail from anywhere on the planet at customizable time intervals, interfacing with Google Earth, and recording down time, all fitted in a device conveniently and completely unnoticed within a standard size envelope. Introducing the G.P.S. Letter Logger, the worlds first letter-tracking GPS device. When housed in a standard number 10 business envelope, the G.P.S. Letter Logger flows through mail sorting and delivery systems as unnoticed as any typical piece of mail, all the while gathering and reporting important logistical information that allows the Postal Service to analyze the efficiency of its systems. The driving forces behind G.P.S. Letter Logger are the combined functions of a powerful and highly efficient microprocessor developed by Texas Instruments and a low-power consumption uBlox ANTARIS 4 GPS module. Merely a quarter of an inch thick, and with the surface area of a tri-folded sheet of paper, Walz said the G.P.S. Letter Logger technologically exceeds the capabilities of a similar Siemens product in that the user can adjust the G.P.S. Letter Loggers GPS reporting frequencies. G.P.S. Letter Loggers reporting is fully customizable. Users can choose to receive reports every 2, 5 or 10 minutes or select tilt mode which reports only when a tilting movement is detected. G.P.S. Letter Logger will operate up to 20 hours in a pre-determined timed configuration or up to two weeks in tilt mode using a slim 1100mAh battery. Highly efficient, the G.P.S. Letter Loggers uBlox ANTARIS GPS module has a sensitivity of at least -158 dBm which allows the sensor to achieve a GPS lock within seconds to help save power. The G.P.S. Letter Logger will also achieve locks within a structure or vehicle.  Designed for long-term missions, the G.P.S. Letter Logger requires power of 60mA while acquiring a fix, and under 2mA in sleep mode. The G.P.S. Letter Logger stores NMEA sentences and device status in any operating mode, and stores files on a standard micro-SD card. TrackingTheWorld chose the standard micro-SD card for the storage component of the G.P.S. Letter Logger because of the ability to allow for future extended tracking missions. Stored files are then opened on any program that reads text files, converted to KML format and imported into Google Earth. A tri-color LED indicator allows users to easily see the status of the G.P.S. Letter Logger. This product is the easiest and most convenient tool of its kind.
