phone) can pinpoint the exact location
you are in while you are driving, running,
fishing, sailing, hiking or exploring. It can
pinpoint your location regardless of which
part of the world you are in.

WEARABLE GPS TRACKERS

10. In addition to using smartphone to track,
there are wearable GPS trackers: clipped
on clothes, stashed in backpacks, or worn
as a watch. These compact devices are
paired to your phone or tablet for easy
tracking. Some also include a geofence
setting, notifying you if the device leaves
the safe zone you set up. Wearable
trackers are more often used on younger
children, pets, or even an older family
member.

11. THE DOWNSIDES
GPS TRACKING

12. CONSUMES BATTERY QUICKLY
Because it constantly has to
be updating the signals, it
will use up a lot of battery
and will constantly have to
be recharged.

13. SIGNAL BLOCKAGE
Places like underground
parking lots, tunnels or
forests might block the
satellite signals and interfere
with the reading.

14. PRIVACY ISSUES
If your child finds out that
you are tracking their
activity, that might cause
them to lose their trust in
you. Make sure you have an
open conversation with your
child before you start
tracking them.
