These GPS coordinates rocks glasses are designed to commemorate memories in a unique way. Created by the Susquehanna Glass Company, these sand etched glasses feature custom latitude and longitude coordinates. While the numbers are public the meaning is private, making them the ideal gift for important events held at special locations, such as weddings. Now pint and rocks glasses with maps on them are nothing new, but the Susquehanna Glass Company's creation takes things to a whole new level.
Putting GPS coordinates on a rocks glass may sound kind of geeky, but when you consider the amount of location-based apps out there the idea actually seems pretty mainstream. The print for the coordinates sits midway up the glass, ensuring that it will be visible if the glasses are indeed used to sip whisky and other spirits. The GPS coordinates rocks glasses come in sets of two and four and sell for $26.95 and $45, respectively.
