How does my beacon work?

 

my beacon is designed to help locate people with dementia who wander. It is carried by them or attached to their clothes. It is similar in size to a small mobile phone and is charged up in much the same way. my beacon uses Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) technology to work out my beacon’s location to within a few metres. 

 
 

One of the biggest problems with GPS tracking devices is how to carry them? The FollowUs "boffin's" have radically solved this problem with the delivery of the GPS watch.

Ideal if you have children, an elderly parent, or perhaps you travel abroad and wish to improve your security. The GPS watch will pinpoint your location to within meters, as well as tell you the precise time as set by the US military GPS satellites! The GPS watch does need to be outside or near a window to position itself.

Whilst the possibilities are great - the price is low at only £199.00 excluding VAT.This is a turning point for GPS tracking solutions and uses free mapping so the only cost is the purchase of the GPS watch and the sim card you install in it.

To track the GPS watch you use your mobile phone rather then a PC. The simple process is as follows:•You call the sim card that you have place in your GPS watch from your mobile, when you want to know its location.


•The GPS watch determines its location and then sends a text message back to your mobile phone with a map link.


•Click on the map link that is displayed on your mobile phone and your mobile will download a map showing the device's precise location (you need a mid range phone or upwards with colour screen and GPRS connectivity to be able to view the map).


•The mapping is free as we use static Google maps, so for this product you only have the one-off cost to buy the GPS watch and there are no other payments or mapping costs for the life of the product.


•The GPS watch is market beating and one of a very small number that is designed to work in conjunction with your mobile phone, so you can track it whilst on the move.
