Personal GPS trackers are devices that allow you to track the location of a person or object. They can be used for a variety of reasons, including safety, security, and tracking your loved ones. There are many types of personal GPS trackers available on the market that offers different functions that could be beneficial to you. Here are some of the important features you need to consider before buying one.

1. Geofence

A geo-fence is a virtual boundary around a specific location. This feature can be set up to send an alert when a person wearing a GPS tracker like My Buddy Gard’s Buddy Watch or Pendant crosses the geo-fence. With My Buddy Gard’s Track Map app, you can set up multiple ‘Safe Zones and ‘No-Go Zones’ and be alerted the instant one is breached. It is very useful in tracking your loved ones, especially children who often wander off.

2. SOS Feature

When looking for a personal tracker, SOS is one of the must-have features. This feature allows you to send an emergency signal to a pre-determined contact if you need help. It can be very helpful if you or your loved one are lost or in danger and need assistance quickly. With My Buddy Gard, you can simply push the SOS button on the watch or pendant to instantly notify your emergency contact that you need their help.

3. Receive Phone Calls

This feature allows you to call the person wearing the Personal GPS Tracker and speak to them directly. My Buddy Gard’s personal trackers let you set up to 10 contact numbers that are allowed to call the devices so that no strangers or telemarketers can contact the person wearing it. Only the selected contacts can call the personal GPS watch or pendant from their phone to talk to the wearer directly anytime and anywhere. It is helpful in situations where you need to talk to the person wearing the device, such as if they are lost or in danger.
