New GPS Devices Help Parents Track Their Children

Posted on July 29, 2009

(HealthNewsDigest.com)-Parents can keep an eye on their youngsters’ comings and goings these days, even when they’re not together.

That’s because new GPS technology provides the peace of mind that parents of school-age children need. A small, easy-to-carry electronic device helps parents know when children arrive at school and back home. Parents at work or anywhere there’s the Internet or cell phone service can monitor their children on the Web or send a text message from a cell phone to get their kid’s exact location.

Why It’s Needed

That’s a big help these days, when both parents are working and can’t be around when their children arrive home from school. Also, many parents want the peace of mind of knowing when their kids get to school.

What It Does

With the device, you can remotely “see” where your children are within seconds by hitting “Find Now.” You can also create “safety zones,” such as your home, a soccer field or your child’s school. You’ll get a text message and/or e-mail alert whenever the youngster leaves or enters the zone. This alert includes the date, time and the current location’s address.

The device is small and lightweight so even preschoolers can carry one in their pocket or backpack, or for teenage drivers it can be hardwired to their car. It’s water resistant and comes with a long-life battery.

There’s also a continuous tracking feature that provides you with an automatic location update every five minutes and a location history that shows where the device has been for the past hour, day, week or three months (90 days).

How It Works

Called the Zoombak™ Locator, the tracker uses Assisted GPS technology (A-GPS), which combines both satellite and cellular technologies to more precisely and reliably determine location.
