If you have ever had to wait with the mob in baggage claim hoping for a glimpse of your luggage coming down the belt, this is a product that you need.
With luggage finder you wait quietly away from the crowd and press the locate button on your handheld local GPS unit. Your luggage has an ID code transmitter in it. As the belt starts to move and the mobs surges forward the hand held unit points toward your luggage and tells you how close it is. It will save you time, help you avoid the mob in front of the baggage carousel and will keep you from getting the wrong bag. Retail price about $99.00.
