For peace of mind, friends and family can log on at any time to a private mapping website, using a password assigned to the tracker and see live locations for the device as well as accessing full routing paths of all previous journeys.
Should an emergency situation arise, the traveller can press the SOS alert button on the side of the Silvertrack. The push of the button initiates an alert status on the tracker's mapping panel and will sent a panic text message to a controlling mobile number.
The mapping system is clear and concise and has been designed for ease of use. High quality maps and Google satellite images not only show the Goldtracks's exact location but also the route taken, with easy to read track points. Previous journeys can be accessed and reproduced.
The Goldtrack is programmed for specific use by a Gap-Year traveller. It is instructed to provide full live tracking at all times when it is moving and will fire locations off to the mapping server when the tracker recognises significant movement. The battery life of the Goldtrack is an amazing 6 weeks plus when set to minute reporting.
Estimates of battery longevity depend entirely upon two things; firstly, how long the Goldtrack is moving during an average 24 hour period, and secondly, how often it has been set to report its location to the mapping website (we recommend a location report of every 30 minutes as a good compromise for Gap-year travellers, although you can by all means set the reporting period down to 10 seconds should you want exceptional smooth location mapping. Reporting periods are easily changed via the mapping panel.
One of the easiest methods of calculating what battery life you will get from the Goldtack is to consider that a reasonably new and fully charged 17000mAh battery will provide approximately 3800 location reports on one charge With our recommended reporting setting of every 30 minutes and with a traveller who is on the move for an average of 8 hours a day, the Goldtrack will potentially keep reporting its location for moe than 200 days! Battery life can be negatively effected by cold temperatures, poor GSM and GPS signal.
A fantastic, small and lightweight GPS tracker, which not only provides peace of mind to both traveller and those left behind, but allows friends and family to share the experience of the once in the lifetime gap year journey.
Goldtrack is supplied with GPRS credit sufficient for 1000 location reports. Once these have been used it is a simple process to buy more credits (each location report costs no more than 2/10th's of a penny when bought in quantity) via the mapping pannel (by parents/friends or the traveller themselves).
Other than location credits there are no long term cost implications for this tracker. No subscriptions. No mapping licences.
Supplied with 240v wall charger.
