hb1849 12 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Looks like a well thought out product -- only showing renders of the device on their website so possibly still quite early in the development stage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

waikiore 400 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 They could be a bit tricky if you went forward at night on a boat over about 50' nec minute everybody awake looking at the wake for a floater as you stroll back and ask for a coffee! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rigger 47 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 It directs you to the location of where the incident happened - not to where the tag is now. Has a 50ft range - bluetooth. If you search for key trackers you will find a bunch of similar devices, some with a greater range. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'd say you'd need a 100 ft boat befrore it became an issue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
