GPS tracker

The GPS tracker is a standard device implanted into all bionic patients treated by The Berkut Group. In Sarah Corvus and Jaime Sommers it is alternately known as the ocular tracking device, because it is a part of the bridge between the bionic eye and the brain. In both these patients, it is located at the base of the cerebral cortex. It is integrated with the streaming optical interface, such that their use is indivisible. It can be turned off by the patient by intense concentration. In Jaime, turning the device on or off is currently a difficult process which results in nosebleed. ()
==Capabilities==
The GPS tracker allows employees of the Berkut Group to know the precise location of a bionic patient. However, because a patient has the ability to turn it off, and the Group apparently has no way to override the patient's will, the device is ultimately of greater assistance to the patient than the Group. It is a means by which the patient can wordlessly call for backup or simply share locational information. 
==Commonality with original Bionic series==
In the season 2 opener to The Six Million Dollar Man, Steve Austin reveals that Rudy Wells included a port in his arm to allow for the insertion of a "beeper". This primitive form of locational technology was far from being a GPS tracker, though. It had an effective range of only 10 miles. Moreover this "beeper" was not a major part of the 1970s bionic mythos after this episode. ("Nuclear Alert")
==Background==
Although part of the bionic eye's system, as installed in Jaime and Sarah, it is described twice by Jonas as a part of the brain, not the eye. This implies that in future bionic patients, who may not require eye replacement, the GPS tracker could still be installed.
