Yes there are devices that can be used worldwide that provide tracking as well as emergency notification. (PANIC button). The system is good anywhere in the world. There are three things to note: 1) Device is about the size of an old school cell phone or “walkie talkie” 2) Device is $400 3) Service fee is $75/mo .. great for adventure or hiking!

Is there a monthly tracking device/service that would allow someone in the U.S. to access a website and track another person in Morocco? A friend’s daughter is travelling on an educational program this summer and will have both a cell-phone and satellite phone but neither has personal GPS tracking.

Interested in a personal GPS (preferably diguised as something else, ie.jewelry) for use with children. Want to be able to find them anywhere in case of say abduction.

I would also be interested in finding out about personal GPS tracking of a loved one in a remote area.

I have a child going on an extended hiking trip in a remote area. I’m interested in tracking the location of my child on a regular basis. But I see from most of the web pages of gps service providers that the device is usually set up to communicate with the service provider by cell phone tower. Since the device held by my child will usually be out of range of a cell phone tower, the benefit of carrying the device will be limited. Does anyone know of a product that not only tracks the device by satelite but also communicates with the service provider by satelite. Thanks very much for any ideas you may have.
