GPS and Flash Drive?
Hello All,
Is there such a thing as a laptop GPS that can also double as a USB flash drive? Sorry if this is a repeat of an older post but I'm a bit of a greenhorn here. Thanks! TK

Re: GPS and Flash Drive?
Hi ted_knight,
Welcome to Laptop GPS World.  I don't think I've come across a laptop USB GPS receiver combined with a flash drive, but it doesn't mean there isn't any on the market. It seems like an interesting idea. How would you use?

Re: GPS and Flash Drive?
Hi Marvin,
Thanks for the welcome! The hypothetical gps/flash drive would be a way my company could monitor if an employee ran a software program at a particular location - the contents of the program would only be available on the flash drive. I don't imagine it would be an impossible device to make. It shouldn't be difficult to make, but there's probably not much of a demand for it.

Re: GPS and Flash Drive?
There are a few USB GPS receivers that are small and plug directly (without any cable) to a USB port of a laptop PC. I remember reading about one or two of them even being able to store GPS tracks, so they did include some storage space, but I'm not sure how much space, and if it would be suitable for your purpose.

Re: GPS and Flash Drive?
Ted, you may want to check out the Amod AGL3080 GPS Data Logger. It might come close to meeting your needs. I use this device with geotagging software for aerial photographs. It is a USB drive with a GPS that constantly writes a track log to the drive. You can imagine a number of applications other than geotagging.
