WHAT DOES THE FAMILY LOCATOR DO?

The Family Locator is your ‘family hub’ bringing everyone’s location details together.

Download and install the Family Locator on a parent, guardian or carer’s mobile phone, and view location data from one or more devices.

The Family Locator works with our GPS Tracker, which will need to be installed to every phone that you monitor. Add devices to the Family Locator to see each phone’s last known location, receive ‘low battery’ alerts and view pinpoints on a zoomable map.

The Family Locator is reassuring technology for parents, to make independence easier on everyone.

IS THE FAMILY LOCATOR A STAND-ALONE PHONE APP?

The Family Locator works with our GridLocate GPS Tracker. They’re a perfect pair, designed for accuracy and ease of use.

You’ll need to install our GPS Tracker to any devices that you want to monitor. The GPS Tracker sends location updates from iPhone or Android devices, every 15 minutes, with location history recorded for up to 6 days.

With the Family Locator on your own device, you can view updates wherever you are. Check your partner’s location as you walk around the supermarket, or find out where your daughter is spending her evening from the comfort of your bed.
