Student monitoring on solo navex.

Hi all,
Have seen a monitoring system for evaluating a students solo navex which shows his/her progress, on/off track to debrief afterwards but am struggling to find it online. Has anyone any names of the product/ products.would prefer something that is not a permanent fixture in the aircraft. Can be plugged into a laptop or desktop and maybe iPad after flight.Looking for an inexpensive option as I will have to pay and not the flight school.
Just to clarify would not be using just on solo navex but dual also,purely as a debrief tool but secondary to all other navigation skills that would be thought as part of the syllabus.
Most students now turn up with smartphones and although they know not to use them, when they are unsure of position it's one of the things they use whether we like to admit it or not, modern times unfortunately.Sure they can't use them dual ,but when they have the comfort of an instructor on board and if they end up off track or temporarily unsure of position they turn and look at the instuctor for guidance.
A track shown on a CAA chart would be ideal to debrief,but they wouldnt be going solo if they are deemed not suitable.

Purely rightly or wrongly a debrief tool, no James bond stuff intended!
