Found: A GPS Device That’s a Parental Tool, Too

Not being able to find your keys is frustrating. Not being able to find a loved one can be frightening.

Location Based Technologies’ PocketFinder is a GPS device that lets you locate the holder anywhere in the United States via the Internet. PocketFinder, about the size of an Oreo cookie, can fix its location within 30 feet. Users can track someone’s whereabouts through the Internet or a Web-enabled smartphone, or by text message or phone.

PocketFinder lets you designate safety zones and danger zones, and alerts you if the device enters or leaves such areas. It can also track how fast the device is moving and notify you if a preset speed limit is exceeded (parents of teenage drivers, take note).

You can also place the PocketFinder, which is waterproof, on your pet’s collar or your luggage. The device can run up to seven days on a charge and will text, call or e-mail you when it’s running low on juice.

The PocketFinder will be available in March for $130 and a monthly service fee.
