Personal GPS Tracking

GPS Tracking for Personal Use

Personal uses for GPS tracking devices can include monitoring the locations of personal possessions or valuables, as well as vehicles and drivers. Personal tracking can be used to keep tabs on important items, like your personal computer, musical instrument, collections, vehicles, expensive equipment and tools, and even people.  

A small, portable GPS tracker, like the Spark Nano, can be used by families for keeping tabs on each other’s safety and are especially useful in cases where a person has special needs, frequently walks or hikes alone, is prone to health emergencies, is elderly, etc. Portable GPS trackers are small and lightweight and can be easily worn on the body or stowed in a backpack, leaving the wearer free to function hassle-free. For added convenience, all Lilint GPS trackers utilize the same user-friendly platform and iOS and Android smartphone apps to ensure that you’re able to keep track of everything and everyone all in the same convenient place. 

 

What is Personal GPS Tracking?

Personal GPS Tracking involves using a GPS Tracker device to monitor the location of a person or object in real-time. These devices utilize the Global Positioning System (GPS) to accurately pinpoint the location of the tracker, providing you with up-to-date information on its whereabouts.

How Does it Work?

The GPS Tracker device communicates with satellites to determine its exact location. This information is then transmitted to a central server, which you can access through a mobile app or website. With just a few clicks, you can see the current location of the tracker, as well as its historical movements.

Benefits of Personal GPS Tracking

1. Peace of Mind: Knowing the exact location of your loved ones or assets can provide you with peace of mind, especially in emergency situations.

2. Real-Time Tracking: Stay informed about the whereabouts of the tracker in real-time, allowing you to respond quickly to any changes in location.

3. Geofencing: Set up virtual boundaries around specific areas and receive alerts when the tracker enters or exits these zones.

4. Historical Data: Access a log of past movements to track patterns or review past locations.

Personal GPS Tracking with GPS Tracker is a powerful tool that can enhance safety and security in various situations. Whether you're keeping an eye on your children, monitoring elderly family members, or safeguarding valuable assets, this technology offers a reliable solution for staying connected and informed.

Did You Know?

You are legally allowed to use a GPS tracking device on any asset that belongs to you, whether that be a vehicle, a valuable possession like a computer or musical instrument, a piece of recreational equipment like a snowmobile or jet ski, or something else. Certain legal considerations need to be made, however, if your tracking extends to the monitoring of a human as well. For example, tracking the whereabouts of your own vehicle means that you will automatically be able to track the location of its driver. This is particularly useful for parents of teenage drivers as having data about driving habits, unsafe practices, speeding, etc. gives parents opportunities to educate their young drivers and help them improve. Parents can also use GPS tracking to find out if their teens are going places they shouldn’t be or staying out past their curfew. 

Transparency about using GPS tracking to monitor your family is a personal decision, but we offer some helpful resources to assist you with navigating difficult conversations about GPS tracking and how you intend to use the information that you gather.  

Before you actively track the whereabouts of a person who is not your child, we recommend making yourself aware of the legalities of doing so. In our GPS learning center, you can find an article about the legal ramifications of GPS tracking and a breakdown of the laws you need to be aware of before you begin. If you’re operating in a particularly complicated situation, we recommend seeking legal counsel to ensure that you are protected. 

Families may choose to use portable GPS tracking devices openly with one another to help ensure individual safety. For example, a woman who runs alone in the early mornings may consent to using a portable GPS tracker so her family can track her movements and location and ensure that she returns home safely. Parents may use portable GPS tracking devices to make sure their kids make it safely home from school, whether they are walking, biking, or taking a bus. For elderly relatives or family members with special needs, providing a personal GPS tracking device can add peace of mind for the family and ensure that in the case of an emergency their location can be identified and help can be sent quickly. Personal GPS tracking can be used to build trust and ensure safety in a loving family unit.
