Garmin GTU 10

$199.99 Released January, 2011

The Pros:Tiny, lightweight and visually nondescript. Can be tracked via a web browser or Android / iOS application. Can be set to check in at regular intervals - or only when you request its location.

The Cons:Expensive - $200 for the device and a "free" year, tracking costs $50 after that. Using a browser to track requires a proprietary plugin (IE and Firefox only). Relies on proprietary web services - not always up, privacy issues, etc...

The Garmin GTU 10 is a GPS tracking unit that can be used to locate an object or track its movements. The small, lightweight build is also waterproof and can be mounted on anything that needs to be tracked.
