Here’s a great gadget for parents who want to keep a close watch on their kids. GPS Magazine recently named the WorldTracker GPRS the best GPS tracking device for child safety. In its review, GPS Magazine tested several GPS trackers and radio frequency devices in several settings including movie theaters, shopping centers and outdoors. The GPS tracker can be used with GPS tracking software to set boundaries known as geo-fences which alert parents when a child leaves a predetermined area. A panic button on the side of the GPS tracker will quickly alert parents by sending a rapid series of location reports. The WorldTracker GPS system is smaller than a cell phone and is rechargeable. In addition to tracking the whereabouts of a little one, this tracker could also be tossed in the glove box of your teenager’s car for added peace of mind. The WorldTracker GPRS is developed and produced by TrackingtheWorld, Inc., a California company.
