25 Gotta Have Travel Gadgets
Headed for a getaway? Traveling for business, pleasure or both? Whether you're making your way by plane, train, automobile, or even your own two feet, no trip is complete these days without digital accessories. Here are 25 great sidekicks to help make the journey pain-free
A few years ago my father-in-law, a man who walks five miles a day, got me a pedometer. Like any life metric device, I found it disturbingly fascinating to know the exact distance of a lap around my office floor (.2 miles). But a pedometer is a cave painting compared to the IMAX movie of my perambulations created by the Trackstick. Powered by two AAA batteries, it's got 4MB of built-in storage for tracking weeks of your every step. Load it into your computer via the built in USB connection, apply the nifty Google Earth integration and all of a sudden you can see your life mapped by a series red lines. Travel great distances and you'll have that Magellan feeling of creating an arc across the globe. But more than likely you'll be amazed by your predictability; turns out I almost never vary my .59 mile walk to the subwayand I do a lot of laps around the office.
