Driving Activity Monitor: Gentlemen, Stalk your Engines!

Hammacher Schlemmer has a GPS tracking system for your car that's finally hit the concerned consumer price range. The Driving Activity Monitor will keep tabs on your wheels and tell you where its been and how it got where it went. The compact lo-jack-ish can run up to 3 weeks on 2 AAA Li-ion batteries and records GPS data (location points and time) as long as you have a sufficiently unobstructed view of the sky.

Like others we've seen, you can use this tattler to track employees and their driving habits or teens and who they are hanging out with. The system can detect when it's at rest and go into standby mode to save power. Similar in look and style to your run of the mill hide-a-key, stick this under your hood or in the wheel well (or for best reception on an out of view roof) and it will use what is likely the SiRF positioning system to log KML compatible data. KML data is compatible with Google Earth which can transform the logged positions into pristine living maps with speed and bearing details to boot. Only $229 gets you started keeping an eye on your ride, your bus, your work truck, etc... just don't do anything creepy okay?
