That may be fine for a police manhunt or a round the world yachtsman, so what can GPS do for the average consumer?

Perhaps a GPS tracking system device can help ease parental anxiety. There are units available that can specify a certain locality to monitor, so if your child strays outside this area an alert will be sent to your device. He or she will then be tracked for the remainder of their journey continually relaying data back to your device or the Internet. These units can take the form of hand held equipment, a mobile phone or a watch. There are even tiny pet tracking receivers available on the market for use on a dog collar. ( RoamEO for Pets)
