GPS Tracker Map Locations
How they work on your mobile phone
GPS Tracker map locations are sent directly to your phone
Send a text to the GPS Tracker...
Send a simple text message to the GPS Tracker's phone number, just like you would to another mobile phone.
...and it immediately texts you back
The GPS Tracker will then immediately text you back with a map link of its accurate location. Clicking on it will take you direct to an instant satellite map on your mobile phone, with the nearest street address.

...with an accurate satellite map
The map will then show the exact location, with a nearby street address. You can easily zoom in or out as you would with any Google Map. The photo style map allows you to easily see the location, even in more rural areas (parks, fields etc).
If other family members or carers are given the GPS Tracker's phone number, they can also easily text it for an instant location, they don't need to be set-up in the device beforehand.

GPS Tracker Map Locations Allow Rapid Recovery
With instant, current and accurate GPS map locations, you can quickly see where a person is at any time and how best to reach them. It's an essential use of GPS Tracking technology that can save hours and hours of searching, especially if during the night. The ability to call the GPS Tracker for a two-way conversation (it answers automatically, so the person doesn't have to do anything) is also hugely useful in offering reassurance or seeking more information.
In the unfortunate event that police are required to assist in an emergency missing person search, you can also provide them with the Tracker's phone number so they're able to locate and assist the missing person much more swiftly. We have supplied GPS Trackers for research trials with police forces, and they've proved highly effective, in saving lives as well as cost efficiency.
Automatic GPS Tracker Map Locations
Receive automatic map locations from the GPS Tracker, if the person wanders too far
As well as texting for a GPS Tracker map location whenever you need one, you can also set the GPS Tracker to send you automatic location text alerts. For example, if the SOS button is pressed, if the person wanders over 100 metres from home, if a fall is detected, or if the battery is running you - you can receive an automatic text. This text will include a mention of why the text has been sent (e.g. "Help Me!" for SOS), the current map location, and the battery level.
What's more, you can flexibly choose to have these text alerts sent just to yourself, or to up to five people - for example other family members, carers, friends or neighbours.
