Finders Keepers - How To Find and Keep Your Travel Gadgets

Finders Keepers - How To Find and Keep Your Travel Gadgets


Sometimes you have too many things with you or too many things on your mind, and you leave some stuff behind. That is especially true when traveling. Though when you away, forgetting something might mean you will never see it again. To make sure that you are not separated from your devices and other things there are gadgets and services available to track them and get them back to you

Smart Umbrella

One of the most common things left behind is an umbrella. It is not something we have with us on regular bases until it rains. So walking out of a restaurant, work, or other places you might not feel like you left anything behind until it starts pouring again and you have no cover. This smart gadget is looking to solve that. It has a built-in GPS so you can locate it and also connects with your smartphone via Bluetooth to remind you to take when rain is in the forecast.

And just in case the weather gets cloudy and there is not enough juice from solar power, this umbrella even features a 3.7-volt/1000mA battery that acts as a backup, providing continuous power for your devices.
