Lightning GPS Spark Nano: stealthy location tracking

Lightning GPS have announced their latest GPS tracker, the super-small Spark Nano.  Roughly the size of a 9V battery, the Spark Nano claims to bring military-grade GPS tracking to the consumer market; it also has a panic button, in case of emergencies. 

 

An internal rechargeable battery is good for up to five days of continuous tracking, and the casing is waterproof and "extremely durable".  Meanwhile the monitoring software allows you to set up automatic zone alerts – which send out emails and SMS messages when particular locations are entered or left - and can be accessed from a full browser or mobile device. 

There's also speed alert monitoring, useful if you're tracking a teenager or employee driving and the Spark Nano takes approximately 40 seconds to get a GPS fix when powered on.  The Lightning GPS Spark Nano is available now, priced at $299.95; service plans cost from $49.95 per month, with the panic button service a $5 extra.
