Name, Address, Phone Number , Post (Zip) code, Bank account details, Kids name (password?), NI (SSN) number and more..

]]> <![CDATA[GPS Letterlogger to Solve the Problem of Missing Snail Mail]]> Yeah, where I live it generally takes two days to get mail from across the street, so Constant Mode would be a bust. But what if my package has fallen behind a piece of equipment somewhere and is not tilted? Tilt mode would never identify where it is... [Yes, I once got a Christmas card about 3.4 years later, slightly spindled and smudged with an oily mystery stain or two... Merry Xmas, USPS!]

I vote for Hourly Ping mode. Call me when you've got that working..

tilt mode is for when you'r shipping a small, metal sphere and at isn't quite going where you want it to.

A bit overkill for such rapid updates, but I am sure there is a need somewhere. Maybe for payroll checks being sent to remote offices.

]]> <![CDATA[GPS Letterlogger to Solve the Problem of Missing Snail Mail]]> because no mail thief would ever think of separating the contents of the envelope from the big hunk of plastic that says "GPS TRACKER" on it. so since he'll definately keep that with your stuff, and bring it all back to his home, you have nothing to worry about.

yeah im wondering that myself. maybe there a stat that says "95% of mail thieves do not hold their mail parallel with the ground plane of the earth"

letters are tilted when they move. The last place a tilt coordinate was broadcast from will also be the current location of the letter.

]]> <![CDATA[GPS Letterlogger to Solve the Problem of Missing Snail Mail]]> Eek. I can see it now - "Everyone clear the building, there's a letter b0mb in the mailroom." So then they'll put it in a specially marked envelope. And then the bad guys will put their b0mb in the same (faked) marked envelope. Um, why does this seem like a bad idea?

I want to see where that damn truck went... so if it turns up one box short I can put the police onto the detoured route....
