Extremme 4th Gear May 18, 2013 Share May 18, 2013 Hi, I am thinking of investing in a Kids GPS tracker. I was searching around and it seems most of which needs a sim card. As I travel alot with my kids, I am worried about the autoroam charges. Hence I am keen in those that do not need a sim card but rather just a GPS system. Thus far I manage to find one which is affordable and has a per use charge. http://www.gpsmagazine.com/2010/08/best_bu...hp#.UZb7jqPmjFo Anyone has invested in a good and affordable Kids tracker device to recommend?

Ysc3 Twincharged February 1, 2017 Share February 1, 2017 (edited) its been 3 years ... so anyone has a good recommendation for a personal gps tracker ? my boy just entered nursery this year and the school will bring them outside for trips so I want to get a reliable tracker to put on him for safety. any recommendation ? something small like a keychain would be better so can just hook it on his uniform. sim card ones is ok ... since i'll be getting a prepaid card ... and the data consumption is very little.

Cost abt 30+ sgd.. been there ... the $30 ones are the 2G models ... the 3G models are about $80. children are sometimes very irritated by the things they wear ... so I was thinking of a keychain instead of a watch so maybe I can clip it onto his uniform instead of making him wear it on his wrist. never use it before but this one should be small enough. i maintain my wife google account in my phone and turn on her google timeline, can always see where she go http://www.lazada.sg/tk102b-car-vehicle-gps-gsm-gprs-tracker-with-sos-over-speed-alarmblack-8714771.html so does it come with proprietary app to view the map ? and real time or only timeline ? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get the 3G models since 2G are no longer in service by telco. And 3G have better tracking performance than 2G network. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
