Luggage tracker
Trakdot is a new battery-powered device designed to help travelers keep tabs on their luggage. You tuck Trakdot into your checked bag, and the palm-sized, Federal Aviation Administration-compliant device switches to “airplane mode” during flight but, upon the plane’s landing, transmits its airport location to a mobile phone via text, email or app. The app also sends an alert when bags are approaching the carousel. The $49.99 device works globally with any cellphone. It requires an $8.99 activation fee and $12.99 annual service fee. Info:
