Trackr

Trackr

TECH  

How to track your all gadget using your smartphone.

New tracking method adapted to all budgets.

Lost your car and can’t remember where you parked? It happens to the best of us: wandering aimlessly through parking lots, clicking the panic button on your key chain to get your headlights to illuminate.

You don’t need some spendy radio transponder to keep tabs on your car. Uplinking your wheels to the great eye in the sky without breaking the bank is easier than you think.

Standalone GPS and radio triangulation units can cost hundreds. And that’s not counting the installation and (frequently hefty) activation and monthly fees associated with whatever service you do choose. For most of us, it’s overkill.

The good news is that some of life’s biggest problems seem to be disappearing because of new technology.. If you frequently forget where you parked your car, there is a tiny gadget and app that could be what you’re looking for.

What is it about?

It’s about Trackr, A small and discreet device the size of a coin that is revolutionizing the market..

But… How does it work?

Very easy! It will take less than five minutes to put it to work. You simply have to pair it with your smartphone and download the free application which will allow you to locate it anytime.

Once this is done, you simply have to put it on your key chain, in your wallet or in any object you want to locate always. In this case you just have to hide it in your car.

Now just have to open the application on your mobile and you can see on the map the position of your device. If you get to lose your car, simply select “find device”and you’ll get the coordinates of the new location.

With Trackr you’ll be able to locate your car at any time

In the following video you’ll be able to see it in action:

Google's Self-Driving Bike

Google Netherlands YouTube channel On 31 March 2016, shared a video  demonstrating Google's development of a "self-driving bike"

Many viewers encountered this video on the Google Netherlands channel on April Fools' Day (and thus understood that it was spoof of the Google Self-Driving Car Project).

Though Google Netherlands made no specific reference to April Fools' Day when they originally posted the video, they did include a link to a "making of" video that showed the "self-driving" bicycle concept to be a hoax:
