GPS SOS - What it does and how it works<br /><br />Personal GPS trackers all have an SOS button to send out a distress call to your pre-programmed emergency contacts. These could be family members, carers or friends - everyone with a phone! They also have a countdown timer so you can cancel the call if you do not need it.<br /><br />The SOS feature on a GPS Tracker is incredibly useful for a range of situations, from a vulnerable child or elderly person who is wandering to GPS Tracking an ill loved one in the woods and a fall in the garden. If a SOS button is pressed, our GPS trackers will automatically text the chosen contact up to three times in turn until someone answers.<br /><br />GEOS emergency response services<br /><br />All our GPS Trackers connect with GEOS, who are the world’s leading provider of emergency responder solutions and monitoring. They are standing by 24/7/365 to respond to your SOS, track your device and notify the proper contacts and emergency responders in your area so they can be on their way to help you quickly.<br /><br /> [https://youtu.be/kOdz1wp9t2c?si=2ix-cMLYjxBz0aAm lone worker tracking devices] Testing your satellite communication device<br /><br />Before heading into the backcountry, be sure to test your device with GEOS by scheduling a Test Alert. You can do this by submitting an online request form at least 72 hours in advance and you will need to have an active subscription with a supported device.<br /><br />While this feature isn’t for everyone, it does offer a more reliable way to communicate with first responders in the event of an emergency. Having it is important as the wilderness is a dangerous place, and you never know when you might find yourself in trouble.
