So, if this could be made to be "secure" could we use it as a contest,
record, or badge logger?
I sure like the price!

The Wintec WBT-201 is smaller, has a better and more accurate GPS
receiver, can store several times as many fixes in its memory, is
capable of logging at intervals down to as little as 250 milliseconds
(the Trackstick has a minimum 5 second interval), runs for up to 15
hours on its rechargeable battery (the Trackstick uses AAA batteries),
has Bluetooth capability, also comes with Google Earth compatible
software, and costs less then $100US:

Sure looks like a nice unit. However, unless I missed something it
does not record altitude.
It does record altitude (and speed) when configured to do so, the
description is not quite correct...
