The use of GPS technology can even be used to keep track of your kids and pets. Listed below are a few of the ways that it has been used or might be used in the future. If you would like to share additional ideas on how GPS can be used please email them to:
GPS for Tracking Your Kids and Pets:
Blind
Walker Guidance: GPS units and palm-size computers
can help blind walkers find their way. The systems
are programmed to give detailed travel instructions
and provide information about businesses and landmarks
passed enroute.
Tracking
Your Kids: GPS-enabled cell phones can be used
to monitor your kids. When Johnny calls you for
his after school check in you can confirm if his
coordinates are at the public library or at the
pool hall.
Tracking
Your Pets: After you get GPS tracking for your
kids, don't forget to buy one for your dog. A GPS
transmitter on Fido's collar can help you recover
him if he fails to come home.
