Locate your foot
GTX Corporation provides a small GPS module with satellite radio, so that the position of a person or a thing can easily be determined.
GTX seems to be mainly offering different sport shoes with this module integrated (and has even patented the concept), but the technology as such is obviously generic. I wonder what kind of battery life you would get, but the position needs only be checked maybe each hour or so.
GTX provides a service behind this, for people to check on the wearer's position, and also to set up boundaries, and get an alert if moving outside of that boundary.
