We have two elementary school age boys that I drive to school as I leave for work M-F. My husband is home from his work soon after our boys walk home together. I work in Salt Lake City, UT and the elementary is in South Jordan. We need to have the security of knowing our boys are at the school and/or on their way home and have arrived home safely. The text message received back to the calling phone is within seconds. If you have a SmartPhone you can instantly click on the http://… address and view a map location of the one you’re checking on. We want the AAGPS to work for us at our second home in Koosharem, UT also. Our boys are quite active with hunting, ATV riding and being our boys. The AmberAlertGPS gives parents a peace of mind knowing they can check on and locate their child with a phone call to the device that makes no noise or interruption at the device. They don’t even know you’re checking on them. AAGPS is “good parenting” and more parents will want to consider this kind of “active parenting” to insure the safety of their children. Parenting is a HUGE responsibility and we have to do our active part to make sure our children and others we care about and love are safe.
We lost our natural “parental location radar” on our youngest son at one of the Outdoor Sports shows when he was 3 yrs. old. He somehow wondered over a few isles, of the many booths of vendors. He moved very quickly in the crowds and out of our sight in seconds. Sheer panic set in as we frantically looked everywhere for him. In those few minutes of panic, YOU are your best and only help! Everything was in slow motion and we couldn’t find a guard or event attendant anywhere. We did locate him when we noticed two ladies trying to help him find us. They were his guardian Angels for that day.
If we had the AAGPS at the time, we would have called the device located on our littleman, then locate him quickly with a smidgen less of hysteria. The AAGPS isn’t a sitter to not watch your children, but a locator should that be needed.
The AAGPS has many, many uses; such as, handicapped individuals, elderly, hospital patients, prisoners (on work release programs), detention kids that need to be supervised, pets, hikers, boaters, soldiers at war, items of importance (i.e. cars/trucks, cameras, electronics, motorcycles, motorhomes, etc.).
Other areas for the AAGPS are city and neighborhood parks, amusement parks, concerts, malls, shopping, family gatherings (in Utah, some gatherings are quite large), parades and all events that have crowds of people. The AAGPS is not a device to replace your natural “parental location radar” for others or items, although it’s an added safeguard for their health and safety and a parent or caregivers peace of mind.
Within 30 seconds you will receive a text message on your phone with sample latitude (+) and longitude (-) coordinates.
