(This product is no longer available for sale, but it represents a proud beginning and helps explain more about what DHT Ventures is all about.)
One of the worst feelings we’ve all experienced in our lives is the feeling of being lost. It is a feeling of anxiety, embarrassment, and helplessness. You’re even more frustrated because you actually tried to make sure that you paid attention to avoid getting lost.
We created the HomeStar Pocket™ Personal GPS to avoid this horrible feeling, not for just ourselves but for the people that we cared about. This was DHT Ventures’ first product and was inspired by the parents of our company president: One of his parents’ first dates was at a Milwaukee Braves baseball game. After the game was over, his father had forgotten where he had parked his car. They had to wait nearly 2 hours for the parking lot to empty before he could find his car. What a memorable date!
The HomeStar Pocket™ GPS was the smallest and simplest personal GPS first introduced to the market. What good was a GPS device if you always left it at home because it was too big to easily carry around all the time? Small enough to fit on your keychain and carry around all the time, this handy little device was your insurance policy to get back to your parked car in a large parking lot, your campsite, a family meeting location at an amusement park, or your hotel in a strange new city. When you needed it, you had it!
With the HomeStar Pocket™ GPS, you didn’t need to be afraid of getting lost. Instead, you had the freedom to get lost, enjoy your adventure, and savor the rich experiences that this world had to offer. For peace of mind, we gave one to our son before he was deployed to Afghanistan for Operation Enduring Freedom.
USED AROUND THE WORLD
Our customers used the HomeStar Pocket™ GPS all over the world for travel, hiking, and other adventures! The red pins on the maps below show where this product had been purchased and taken. This little product really got around!
After 8 years of offering this exciting product and with GPS becoming commonplace on smart phones, we decided to retire the HomeStar Pocket™ Personal GPS in 2019. We proudly donated the last of our inventory to the Boy Scouts of America. Here we are packaging this gift to them:
