Scientists released the two bottles simultaneously in the beginning of their &#8220;marine pollution&#8221; experiment. They both floated west towards Canada after passing the Greenland coast before they went\u00a0east. It looked like the second bottle would end up back on the Iceland shores before it headed in the Shetland direction and then drifted back to the Faroes.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Each device was part of a science experiment scientists set up for testing where marine litter ends up. The public could track the path of the devices through an Icelandic TV science program website which the public had access to.<\/p>\n<p>The point of the experiment was to show how discarded litter and rubbish dropped in the sea doesn&#8217;t go away but rather becomes an issue for people who live on coastlines and other areas in the world.<\/p>\n<p>It was on Saturday that T\u00f3rshavn residents found the message in a bottle as it<\/p>\n<p>They had been<a href=\"http:\/\/gps.verkis.is\/\"> tracking the bottle online through its GPS tracker<\/a>.

For this particular bottle, it was an 18,000km-long journey.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Benefits of GPS Tracking<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>People are now able to use GPS tracking devices to locate and track a number of things such as a vehicle, bike and other personal belongings or even a whole fleet of trucks.
