Trackstick: Recording GPS Location on the Fly

Jane McGonigal just spoke about Trackstick, a tracking device that records your GPS location every 5 seconds.

Every reporter in the country should have one of these, hooked to some offline database with a mobile device, recording their information. You could dump much of the data that you need to deliver wicked cool data to readers.

Of course, this requires tech folks to implement; however, you could immediately have a huge set of database for users.
