They are called GPS trackers or GPS loggers. You can find some that save coordinates to a microSD card and optionally send the location via cellular connection for about 10 dollars on AliExpress.
Can you share what you use for the HA integration?

Fujifilm's digital cameras come with fantastic built-in digital versions of Kodachrome (called Classic Chrome), Provia, and Velvia. I personally use a X100T but I think all current models have them.

Re:Show HN: Keypad Layout Window Manager for Mac on Saturday May 20, 2017 @09:50AM (#14382355)
Author here. I actually started this project after buying Divvy. Divvy has many more features but I could never set it up just right. In particular I found no way to use the grid feature without the mouse (other than assigning shortcuts to pre-defined layouts). So I scratched my own itch and created Keypad Layout as a simple no-frills replacement that works exactly the way I want it to.
Right now it is a simple download from GitHub though I have already submitted a pull request to brew cask. Thank you for opening the issue which finally motivated me to do this.

The tool does work like a grid but with start and end positions instead of sizes so you can move and resize at the same time. ^1^3 is from position (1,1) to (3,1) (i.e. top row), ^1^6 is (1,1) to (3,2) (top two-thirds) etc. You can basically paint the location and size of the window using your numeric keypad. Its pretty straightforward once you try it.

If anyone is looking for an alternative: I put together a grid based window manager without an UI some months ago. https://github.com/janten/keypad-layout
