Do you travel a lot or does your luggage go missing a lot? Maybe it’s time you invest in a Trakdot luggage tracker.

The Trakdot is a small tracker that you put in your checked luggage and it can report, in real-time, city location to any smartphone or via sms.

The devic costs $49.95 and then there is a $8.99 activation fee and an $12.99 annual service fee.

In my opinion, unless you’re a frequent traveller this may be overkill, but if you are a frequent traveller or carry some very valueable items in your checked luggage this may be a worthwhile investement. A least that way you know where your luggage is “hiding” or let police know where it is “hiding” incase some dubious person took an interest in your traveling goodies.
