Your faulty memory won't hold up in court next time some moron comes out of nowhere and hits you, but this will.
The guys who brought us the CarCam Voyager dash-mounted video camera have gone one better and added GPS logging so you not only record what happened, but where and when it happened. Just the thing for convincing your insurance agent you didn't cause the six-car pileup that totaled your Corvette ZR1.
Of course, the CarCam Voyager Pro can be used for more than covering your ass.
The Voyager Pro can record your entire road trip -- or as much of it as the 2-GB SD card will hold, anyway -- and track it all on Google Earth so you don't forget where you found that greasy spoon with the amazing chili or saw the world's largest ball of twine.
It'd be a sweet tool for doing recon on great motorcycling roads, but security is clearly the gadget's selling point. Built-in sensors detect sudden braking, acceleration or other movement and will begin recording 10 seconds before impact. (It stops recording 30 seconds after impact.) "You will never be left wondering 'What happened?' because it will all be caught on tape," the manufacturer claims. Plug the SD card into your computer and the video plays alongside a Google Earth map showing where it was recorded. It's also got a time and date stamp and a record of your speed.
With geotagging and time stamping, the video is probably admissable in court, so make sure you turn it off before making that 130-mph run down
Alligator Alley.
