[QUOTE="GTL, post: 186724, member: 1221"] There's a big difference between a fitbit and a GPS device, furthermore, I would assume the GPS data has to be very precise, as all of the activity is taking place on a football field. Suunto and Garmin make watches with GPS beginning at $400; since the location data will need to be measured to an accuracy of at least a couple of feet or less (I assume), I would think the device would have to be comparable to the higher end devices, call it conservatively $600. Since $25k figure was for 30 devices, you're left with about $15k for a receiver hardware, database server and custom software that will collect, analyse and compile the collected data into something that is useful. That's not an outrageous figure. Not sure it can be done for much less, unless it become a commoditized item. [/QUOTE]
