Ankle GPS trackers can be used in various situations where a person or animal needs to be tracked. They are very helpful in tracking elderly family members to ensure that they are staying safe. The trackers can also be used to keep an eye on Alzheimer’s patients in a nursing home. Ankle trackers are also perfect for tracking lone workers to make sure they are safe during their long overnight shifts. The trackers can also be used on pets. This is great for people who like to let their pets run free in the yard so that they don’t have to worry if the pet runs off. Ankle trackers are also helpful for police officers who need to track the location of parolees. Tracking the World offers two ankle GPS tracking devices. Read on to learn more about the similarities and differences between the two trackers.
CAT-110
The CAT-110 is a waterproof GPS ankle tracker. It is small and lightweight, with dimensions of 61 x 49 x 22mm. The tracker has a built-in GPS receiver that is extremely sensitive and has a fast time to first fix. It has a built-in U-blox GPS module, GPRS module, and low-power ARM processor. The tracker’s location can be monitored in real time or periodically checked. The tracker also includes features such as SOS emergency calling and geo-fence boundary crossing alerts.
CAT-200X
The CAT-200X is a little bit bigger than the CAT-110. Dimensions are 70 x 64 x 20mm. It is also waterproof. Unlike the CAT-110, this tracker is a 3G GPS locator. It also has a built-in U-blox GPS module, GPRS module, and low-power ARM processor. Just like the CAT-110, location can be tracked in real time or periodically. In addition, the CAT-200X tracker can be assisted by WiFi/LBS position when no GPS is available. The CAT-200X also has SOS emergency calling and geo-fence boundary crossing alerts.
Ankle trackers are small, lightweight, waterproof, and perfect for tracking different types of people and animals. From elderly patients and parolees to pets, this tracker does it all. Tracking the World has the CAT-110 and CAT-200X ankle GPS trackers. Both have similar capabilities, but the CAT-200X goes a step further by being able to provide tracking through WiFi/LBS when GPS is not available.

An ankle GPS tracking device is the perfect tracker for many different situations. From pets to elderly people, this GPS tracker is small, discreet, and promotes safety. Here are 5 people/animals who can benefit from an ankle tracker.
Parolees
Parolees that need to be tracked by the police can greatly benefit from an ankle tracker. The police can easily set geo-fence boundaries to monitor parolees. These are virtual boundaries that set off a signal from the GPS tracking device when crossed. This is a good way for police to track parolees from afar.
Alzheimer’s Patients
Families often worry deeply about their loved ones with Alzheimer’s. It can be hard to find the balance in letting them have their independence while still closely monitoring them. With an ankle tracker, both can occur! Family members can easily track the location of their loved one. They could even set geo-fence boundaries around the house so that they could receive a notification if their family member tried to leave.
The Elderly
An ankle tracker is perfect for elderly people who live alone. Even though the person might be strong and independent, it is still reassuring for loved ones to be able to track their elderly family member. Setting geo-fence boundaries around the neighborhood lets the person go on walks freely but helps prevent them from wandering too far and getting lost. Also, the man-down alert feature is very helpful in letting family members know if their loved one has fallen and needs assistance.
Lone Workers
Night-shift workers often find themselves alone. Whether they are guarding a warehouse or patrolling a shopping center, being out alone at night can be scary. Companies can invest in ankle trackers for their lone workers to enhance security measures. This allows companies to track their employees and get alerts if anything bad has happened to them during their shift.
Pets
Last but not least, pets can wear GPS ankle trackers. This is perfect for families who live in rural areas and like to let their dogs run free on their property. Rest assured that even if your dog wanders a bit too far, you will be able to track their exact location and bring them home.
When people think of an ankle GPS tracking device, they often think of parolees on house arrest. In reality, ankle trackers can be used in many other situations, including with elderly people, lone workers, and pets.

Tracking parolees using a GPS ankle tracker is very helpful to probation and parole officers. Parole officers often make home visits to check up on their clients. Giving the parolee a GPS tracking device to wear on their ankle helps officers get more frequent, real-time data even when they are not physically at the client’s house. Here are a few benefits of parolees wearing ankle trackers.
Small and Lightweight
One benefit of the ankle trackers is that they are small and lightweight. This helps the parolee to be more comfortable instead of having to drag around a big, clunky GPS tracking device. The CAT-110 only weighs 67g, and the dimensions are 61mm x 49mm x 22mm. Since the parolees have to wear this tracker all the time, it is important that it is as small and lightweight as possible.
Monitors in Real Time
Another benefit of parolees having an ankle tracker is that it gives officers real-time location data. This is very helpful when monitoring whether the parolees are where they should be and not breaking their curfew. The real-time location feature is thanks to a built-in U-blox, GPS module, GPRS module, and a low power ARM processor. While it may be necessary for parole officers to make occasional home visits, being able to monitor clients in real time is extremely helpful to check up on location when the officer is off-site.
Important Alerts
Lastly, the GPS ankle trackers give officers important alerts. The trackers will give alerts for geo-fence boundary crossings, low battery, and scheduled GPS position. There is also a built-in belt-off alarm. The geo-fence boundary alert is especially important for clients who are supposed to stay in a certain area. Boundaries can be created by the parole officer and if the client crosses those boundaries, the officer will be alerted. The low battery alert is also important so that the client understands when it is time to charge the tracker.
An ankle GPS tracking device can be used for many different types of people and pets, but it is especially helpful when dealing with parolees. The ankle tracker provides a simple way for officers to track their clients using real-time location data. The tracker also provides various alerts to deliver more data. Also, these trackers are very small and lightweight, easing the burden that the parolee may feel about having to wear the tracker all day.

As part of a school assignment to develop a new business , a group of Costa Mesa students have developed a GPS tracker to aid those with Alzheimer’s and other disabilities. Inspired by another student with a disability, the students will be presenting their company, Gotect, and their device in a contest judged by Wall Street bankers with hopes of finding investors. As they prepare for their trip to New York City, the students are still raising the $20,000 required to attend.
GPS tracking devices, particularly ankle bracelet GPS trackers are often considered as additional security options in caring for individuals at risk for wandering or exploitation.

Suspected Thief Forgets He’s Wearing a GPS Tracking Ankle Bracelet
A suspected thief in Washington state either seriously underestimated the precise information provided by his GPS ankle bracelet via GPS tracking software or, more likely, forgot to remove it before allegedly embarking on a spree of theft from an Eagles fraternity lodge. GPS tracking data confirms that the man made multiple trips between the lodge and a nearby motel. Approximately $2,000 was stolen, and the man is now suspected in past thefts based on evidence found at the scene. The police, confirming that truth is sometimes stranger than fiction, stated that “You can’t make this stuff up.” Video surveillance from the night of the alleged crimes has been turned over to authorities, and a second suspect has been identified based on evidence.

If you’ve read many posts on this blog, we often post about the benefits of GPS ankle bracelets for people at risk for wandering away or becoming the victim of exploitation or violence. Here’s a great story about how a GPS tracking wrist bracelet aided authorities in locating a mentally disabled man who had wondered away from home.
As a part of Project Lifesaver, a program launched by the Sarasota Police Department several years ago, the disabled man is one of 75 people considered at risk for wandering provided with GPS tracking bracelets. Participants include adults with dementia and other disabilities as well as children with autism and Down’s Syndrome.
The rescued man was safely recovered near Caspersen Beach, approximately two miles from his home. Authorities partially credit the use of the GPS tracking device for saving the man’s life, as it allowed them to locate him before the tide came in, which the man likely would not have survived.
A Connecticut program designed to provide early warning to domestic violence victims when their assailants get too close may be expanding. Currently available in the cities of Hartford, Danielson, and Bridgeport, victims receive automated alerts via GPS tracking software and a GPS tracking ankle bracelet when an assailant comes within 5,000 to 2,500 feet. The program costs $22 per day per offender, which adds up to $2 million per year. Approximately one-third of Connecticut court cases are tied to domestic violence. Read more on this story.
