New GPS mobile tracking devices

16 February 2010, 4:03pm

One of the United Kingdom's top mobile phone tracking service providers Locate Mobiles have today announced the launch of three new personal mobile GPS location tracing products.

The first of these is a GPS watch. Retailing at £236, including vat and delivery, these compact, fashionable looking watches are fitted with rechargeable Li-Ion battery and have 2 band GSM antenna for pinpoint accuracy.

Commenting on the introduction of the new GPS watch, Managing Director Jonathan Cook said, "this product is ideal if you have children, elderly parents or to wear yourself for extra security whilst at home or travelling abroad. It's easy and simple to use. To check its location, call the sim card that you have placed in your GPS watch from your mobile. The GPS chip determines it's precise location and then sends a text message back to your mobile with a map link. This is free, as we use Google Maps, so for this product you only have the one-off cost of buying the tracking device and there are no further payments or mapping costs for the life of this product. Unlike mobile phone tracking this is highly accurate to within a metre. Although this location device is primarily targeted at consumers we are also launching a number of other business GPS location devices, such as the GPS Pen and GPS Matchbox, which are ideal for fleet or van tracking businesses."

The GPS Pen is a true plug and play movement recorder. Simply plug it into your PC and the software automatically downloads to your PC. Like an aircraft black box recorder the GPS pen stores all it's movements on an internal memory chip and has a built in LCD screen. The GPS pen retails for £99.99p Inc vat and delivery. This would be ideal to track stolen assets such as vehicles, mobile homes and even boats.

The GPS Matchbox differs to the pen in that it runs off rechargeable batteries, which last approximately 12 hours and doesn't have an internal LCD screen. The GPS Matchbox retails for £99 including vat and delivery. Again this is designed as a cheap vehicle tracking unit. It can also be used for covert surveillance and private investigation work.

"Both these devices are suitable GPS vehicle tracking solutions for fleet or small businesses with delivery services. Whether it's the technology to find a phone or mobile device or to track the location of a vehicle, Locate Mobiles now offers a solution for all your business and tracking service requirement. LBS tracking technology is shaping how business manage and coordinate their lone and off site workforce and is now a vital strategic and planning tool.”
