GPS for Snoops

Motorists don’t use maps, they use navigation devices to get from point A to point B through Z. Now wouldn’t it be telling to get your hands on someone’s GPS data from their dashboard navigation device…? Think about it – today’s drivers have effectively installed a self-tracking mechanism in their vehicles, one that could be exploited if you’re thinking like a spy.

And Lightning GPS clearly had their spy thinking caps on when they came up with the LiveWire NavGenius, a sneaky GPS tracking gadget built specifically to help you snoop on unsuspecting navigation-device users. Combining awesome web connectivity and the functionality to record all of the users’ road action, this gadget – which hits the market this month – is more than willing to travel and tell.

The device comes with two manuals: one explains all spying capabilities in detail, and the other – clearly intended for the spied upon – leaves out all the juicy bits. The gadget streams live data of the user’s location to the web every 10 seconds, as well as information about the ‘way’ the user drives – newly licensed teenagers beware!

Of course, if spying isn’t what you had in mind (yeah, right), the LiveWire NavGenius’s 2-way messaging system can also receive new addresses and routes from an armchair driver, seated by his/her web-connected computer at home. What will your detective work cost you? $600 for the gadget, plus $40/month for the 10-second updates.
