GPS technology is now being used to track every object in our life. One great use perhaps is to track your snail mail. Oopps, it should be more appropriately used for tracking some important parcels.
When you wanna send an important parcels or an extremely important mail that would take couple of days to the destination, and it’d cause you lots of worries during its long journey, then it’d be good to equip your mail or your parcels with a GPS mail logger.
The GPS mail logger is letter-sized gadget that has a GPS chip embedded, so you can trace using GPS technology along your important mail’s or parcel’s journey. The GPS mail logger is bendable so you can slip it in an envelope or the box of your parcel, which it can then record every position it’s traveled through, and the timestamp to a microSD card for you to peruse.
Something is puzzling about this GPS mail logger. The position and the timestamp recorded along its long journey can only be downloaded once the recipient has received the mail or parcel, and take the microSD card off it to download to the PC for analysis.
Um, it’s kind of hard for me to imagine how it appears to be useful to the users. My assumption is perhaps, this device could be requested as an additional service when you’re ordering for an extremely expensive or important good. So, the seller could slip in this GPS mail logger with your good, once it’s reached you, you could then download the GPS data collected and to ensure that your good never traveled through any risky routes that could have got it sabotaged etc. But this logger costs you about $700. As I said, it’s meant to go together with important goods.
