Luggage Tracker
GlobaTrac, LLC recently launched an awesome, innovative new product to track your lost luggage. The Trakdot is a 3 “by 2” device that you drop in your bag before you board. When you fly, Trakdot knows and goes to sleep until you land, when it reports its new location using an embedded radio receiver. Depending on your set preferences, a text message or email is sent to you confirming that your luggage has arrived with you. Trakdot alerts you where your bag is within a 30-foot radius, which is less accurate than GPS. However, the Trakdot is cheaper than a GPS and runs on a pair of AA batteries for up to one month. To use your Trakdot you must first buy the device then pay $ 21.98 for activation and a year service plan. $ 59.99; trakdot.com
