Some members here are already writing about long wilderness trips they are hoping to do this summer. It would be great if they would take along some sort of mapping/tracking device, so that we all could follow their daily progress via our computers.
Alan Gage did that on a lengthy Canadian trip a few years ago, and that was one of our most popular and guess-working threads ever. ("Why has he been stopped on that island for two days?" "Look at how much mileage today!") I've also followed trans-ocean rowers who were using some sort of public tracking device.
I know nothing about such tracking-via-maps devices. Could we have some discussion of what they are, how they work, and how much they cost?
