Abstract
A locator device includes a housing, a plurality of directional indicators, a first button, a second button, a memory, and a GPS device. The device also includes a processor adapted to determine that the first button has been pressed, and, in response, obtain from the GPS device first location data representing a first location of the device, and store the first location data in the memory. The processor is further adapted to determine that the second button has been pressed, and in response, retrieve the first location data from the memory, obtain from the GPS device second location data representing a second location of the device, determine a direction from the second location to the first location, identify a directional indicator corresponding to the direction, and illuminate the identified directional indicator to indicate the direction.
