As summer approaches, I’ve already seen people obsessively counting how many steps they’ve taken in a day to burn off their much needed calories to get themselves in shape for their beach holidays. Well, instead of looking like a looney as you walk past someone in the office counting the number of steps you’ve walked, take a giant leap into the world of gadgets at a new and intriguingly named product called Gtrek, which does all the steps and calorie counting (…and more) for you!

As you move around with this device turned on, it will use satellites much in the same way as your car GPS does but this device will keep a record of everywhere your signal moves to. When you are done, you can hook this up to your PC or laptop by using its software to see an actual ‘history log’ of where you have been since the device was activated all through the use of Google Earth.

So if you need to prove to your partner that you did take the dog ‘for a walk’ or did that errand for them then this device will be the perfect little piece of evidence you could ever need to get you out of the dog house!
