Update: This is the last day to get the Lynq at a discount! So far, the tracking gadget has raised almost 1.5 million dollars! A few tech sites such as Techcrunch have used it and reported that it works exactly as described. It was also used in a joint rescue exercise by the U.S. Pacific Command and the Thai government and reduced the rescue time of “wounded” soldier by 61 percent.

The Lynq is a tracking gadget that features real-time (and long-range – up to 3 miles!) distance & direction tracking, globally under open sky, and it does not need a phone or network to work. It will allow you to easily find lost kids or friends in crowds, in remote areas, at festivals, or anywhere under open sky. It also has mo monthly fees, so if you get one (at almost half price during the crowdfunding campaign) you won’t have to spend a dime to spend after receiving it.

Check out the product’s video presentation:

As I’m writing this, the Lynq has almost raised $700,000 on an initial funding goal of $75,000 and has already entered its production stage.
