A family locator uses two main features – geofencing and location tracking. Geofencing is when a virtual boundary is set to alert the parent when their child enters or leaves an area. This can be helpful for parents who want to know if their child has arrived at school on time, stayed away from certain areas, or remained within the agreed-upon boundaries. Location tracking is when a parent can view their child’s real-time location. This feature uses GPS technology to show where their child is located, allowing parents to check in on them while they are away easily. It also allows parents to find their children if they become lost.
