Golf - Finding Lost GBs via GPS

Tiny transmitter that took 2 years of R & D to develope to withstand the 'wack' of the driver in the epicenter of the ball. Hand held transponder helps locate and beeps with increasing frequency the closer you get to your treasure.

One of my BMW customer's was head of R&D which developed the technology here in Roseville, CA just outside of Sacramento.

It's just an RFID tag inside the ball. What they don't tell you is that the very best passive tags have a maximum range of about 6 meters, probably only about half that in real life. $300 bucks for the receiver and a dozen balls...I can get a lot of balls for $300 bucks.

-CM~~~can already find the ball when it's ten feet away...
