Garmin Chirp

[+nimrodblack]

I ran into news about this new geocaching item by Garmin called "Chirp"

 

Here is a news article: http://gps.about.com/b/2010/10/18/garmin-c...-geocaching.htm

 

I don't know if the ideas they have presented are ones I am interested in for this little gadget but I have thought of another one which I will keep to myself. But what do you all think of it?

 

Here is an excerpt from above article:

 

"The just-announced Garmin Chirp is a small (slightly larger than a quarter) capsule that serves as a combination beacon and communication device at the site of a geocache. The Chirp sells for $20 - $23, and weighs less than one ounce. The Chirp "stores hints, multicache coordinates, counts visitors and confirms the cache is nearby," states Garmin. It is waterproof and durable, and its battery is said to last about a year."

 

Any thoughts?
