As the popularity of GPS device has skyrocketed over the past few years, a similar phenomenon has affected “GPS trackers”, those devices that allow their users to create a route of their journeys in a very fast and simple manner. And that's exactly the type of product we'll talk about as follows, namely the i-gotU USB GPS Travel Logger, launched by the people over at MobileAction, a device that can prove to be a very important accessory to take along when going on a trip.



The device offers a very wide range of features which most people could probably find extremely useful. Thus, the i-gotU allows users to auto-map their photos with GPS location information, organize and present one's journey in three-dimensional Google map and Google earth, export in multiple file formats (even supports popular web albums), create and share a live travel blog, etc.



Furthermore, it's also quite important to note that the device is compatible with all digital cameras and camera phones, and also comes equipped with an easy to use software user interface, and also works very well with 3rd party GPS navigation software (serves as a PC GPS receiver as well).



All of the aforementioned functions are possible due to the fact that the i-gotU tracker features a built-in low-power SiRF Star III GPS chipset, which provides some pretty OK signal acquisition times (cold start: < 60 seconds, warm start: < 38 seconds). Furthermore, the device has been equipped with a 230 mAh Li-Ion battery, 2 LEDs for tracking and battery/charger status indication, as well as an USB 2.0 interface (hence the name), for connecting to a computing system.



Another very important selling point of the i-gotU USB GPS Travel Logger is represented by its very dimensions. Thus, the device can be very easily carried around, as it measures just around 47 x 29 x 12 mm, at a weight of around 21 grams, and sports a tough, water-resist design, which means that it will keep on recording in just about any situation.



The i-gotU USB GPS Travel Logger is available at several retailers for around 50 US dollars, which makes it a much more affordable alternative to the more expensive similar products existing on the market.
