One's car is a very important element in the respective person's life, especially if they've paid quite a hefty amount of money for it. This is the reason why quite a large number of GPS tracking devices have been released over the past few years, including here the device you're about to see as follows, namely the Zoombak Advanced GPS Car & Family Locator, launched by the people over at Zoombak back in the second half of 2007.



The secret behind the Zoombak locator is the fact that it's one of the first Assisted-GPS (“A-GPS”) devices designed specifically for use by everyday consumers. The A-GPS system uses both satellite-enabled GPS and mobile phone networks on the ground, which means that it can provide a superior level of accuracy in identifying a certain location.



The vehicle-oriented version of the Zoombak is designed to be hard-wired into a vehicle or used portably, giving consumers the flexibility to either just keep it in one car, or use it in different vehicles as needed. It includes an AC adapter for charging on the go, is very easy to set up and can help owners find the vehicle twenty four hours a day from almost any computer, cell phone or mobile device since it notifies owners by email and SMS/text alerts.



The tracking device is powered by a rechargeable battery that can work for up to 5 days on standby or up to 150 location requests before recharging. Obviously, it's also quite portable, as it measures around 73 mm x 43 mm x 21 mm, at a weight of around 70 grams.



The Zoombak Advanced GPS Car & Family Locator retails for 250 US dollars plus an extra 15 per month as a subscription fee, which is not exactly great, taking into account all the features this device has to offer.
