Discussing the Idea of Using GPS to Monitor Children
It is important to let your children understand clearly that GPS is not for a parent spying on his children, that the navigational device is there not to restrict their freedom but to ensure their safety. This is to make sure that they arrive and depart from their pre-arranged destinations like school or a friend’s house unscathed.
Don’t attempt to hide the device to show your children that you trust them. Additionally, camouflaging the device will obstruct or block the satellite transmission.
Understanding the Use of GPS System
Most GPS units use a map that is accessible from the computer or any smartphone and provides information on the real-time location of the user. If you’re using a GPS device that uses SIM card, calling the mobile phone will give you location information of the device.

It’s also recommended not to update GPS tracker transmission too often as it will drain your battery quickly, although some units come with a free car charger.
Aside from real-time transmission, another useful feature the GPS tracker have is the geo-fencing, which allows you to receive an alert whenever your child goes in or out of the specified zones on the map. Talk with your children as to what places they are allowed to go or avoid.
