The tracking device found on a mountain climber's jacket is a GPS, global positioning system. In case of an accident, officials can pinpoint the climbers exact position. Bladerunner, a British company invented a jacket with a GPS in the lining, which can be pinpointed to 43 square-feet, anywhere in the world.
