Locating via Text Message is Easy
Our Personal GPS Trackers give an accurate Google Map location via text message or online – so you can track from anywhere in the world. The accuracy is within a meter.
Please note that a mobile phone with internet availability is required to see the map location. Older style (non-internet) phones will still be able to receive "geo-fence" or SOS alerts, but they won't be able to show the location on a map.
Instant Map Location!
The map would then look something like shown. Depending on your phone, Google Maps should also offer options for directions to the location, an image of the area, the ability to zoom into street level.
You can also track Online...
It might be useful for example to see the route that someone takes when wandering.
We provide a step-by-step guide to setting up a free online account where you can locate your device online. It will upload its location every few minutes, so you can see where it is and where it's been. This uses data from your devices SIM (but only amounts to 10p per month with the pre-installed SIM!) and can be turned on or off with a simple text message.
You can provide the login access for any relatives or carers who might also be looking after the person in question. A simple mobile version of the site is available too.
