Kids love to mimic what their parents do, and here’s the Geomate Jr GPS system that works like a hi-tech game of hide-and-seek, where your kid will hide caches (containers) or microcaches (small logbooks) anywhere in the world, and are able to share the GPS coordinates on other sites such as Geocaching.com. The Geomate Jr GPS is meant to help kids get out of the house and into the sunshine during summer instead of remaining cooped up at home, playing their favorite video games. Other features on the Geomate Jr GPS include a simple interface and a monochromatic LCD display. It was specially built to cater to a kid’s life, being both splashproof and shock-resistant. The SiRF Star III GPS chipset is powered by a couple of AAA batteries – we wonder whether it will be affected when GPS dies next year.
