Hi list!

I have no connection to this company whatsoever, but have found what I =
believe is a great gadget for rocketry application. What they have =
developed is a transponder small as a box of matches containing a GSM =
phone with a GPS device built in. You can phone it up and ask where it =
is (its using both GPS and GSM triangulation) and also have the device =
phone you up and say where it is. It is also capable of being programmed =
and controlled from a phone (manual recovery activation!?). The obvious =
usage is of course for rocket recovery. They also are up to making a =
small device you put on your dog when you are out hunting and you can =
follow the dog from the phone using for example a WAP phone. Its also =
possible to trace through maps on Internet and on map programs. I will =
investigate further, they are to release their products during the =
autumn. The address is http://www.followit.se/
