In addition to providing helpful information for business operations, GPS tracking systems are also used for personal safety.  Here, we’ve outlined some of the best safety features today’s GPS trackers have to offer.

The Panic Button

Perhaps the most important feature of a GPS tracker for personal safety is the panic button.  With the press of a single button, a GPS user in an emergency situation can immediately alert others.  The panic button feature on most GPS tracking systems activates a rapid fire sequence of location alerts, followed by automated cell phone alerts via GPS tracking software.

Voice Capabilities

The ability to communicate with another human being in the event of an emergency can mean the difference between life and death.  If you’re selecting a GPS tracking system for personal safety, TrackingTheWorld recommends a tracking device with two-way voice capabilities.

Extreme Weather Durability

For personal safety, a GPS tracker with all-weather durability is important, particularly if you are an outdoor enthusiast.  In situations such as mountain biking or snow skiing, your safety may depend on the ability of your GPS tracker to reliably function in less than desirable temperatures. Be sure to ask a GPS dealer for specifics.

Long Battery Life

Another of the most important safety features for GPS trackers is the ability of the tracker to operate for as long a period as possible without a charge.  Depending on locate update intervals (how often you want the tracker to report your location), today’s GPS trackers can go as long as a month or more between charges.  With this capability, or something similar, you can rest assured your GPS tracking system will function even if you forget to charge it once in a while.
