Entry Description

TraC is a hiking wearable for beginners that reduces getting lost anxiety and limits time-checking. It clips onto shoelaces or gears via hangers, allowing hands-free use. Linked with the TraC app, it adjusts ETA via health data, finds companions, and gives trip countdowns. It can also report to specific viewpoints for mismatches. The screen on the device can rotate, showing a compass in emergencies. A round button traces back, the rectangle powers it, and the pull-tab sends emergency texts. Accessories allow mounting on belts, bags, or canes.
