geomate jr from apisphere
May 10, 2009 gps navigation, tracking

Say hello to Geomate.jr from Apisphere. This GPS handheld is designed for geocachers that are looking for an affordable device. Priced at $70 geomate.jr comes loaded with 250000 geocache locations all over the 50 states so you can join the geocache craze as soon as you open the box.
Geomate.jr works on 2AAA batteries and lets you set one waypoint as “home” so you don’t have to worry about getting lost. The display measures 1.2″ by 1.2″ and the batteries last about 12 hours at 70 degrees. It only weighs 3.2 ounces and has a big enough loop for a carabiner so carrying around will be easy too…
The company plans on revealing this Monday morning (in a few hours) but REI already has it on sale…

This is only their 5th business model in two years. The reason Craig has written the checks is because every VC in the valley have laughed at this stupid thing. All of the management team are one hit wonders from 10 years ago who were unemployed prior to Apisphere.
Stay tuned for when the “technology in search of a problem” roadshow comes to theaters near you.
