tracksticks.jpgThe GoogleEarth store is a pretty tiny place, considering it’s named after an entire planet, and one of that planet’s most dominant software companies. One of their recently introduced products is this nifty Trackstick. Carry it around with you and it will record your GPS coordinates. Plug it into a usb port, and it will link up to Google Earth to show you the trip…

Only issue I have is their bizarre marketing message… it’s great for family safety, photo trips, jogging and hiking…and Homeland Security. wtf?
