The PocketFinder family of products uses advanced technology to help families stay connected. The smallest known single-board GSM/GPS device easily fits into a pocket, purse, or backpack, and it can be accessed via the Internet, cell phone, or landline to show its exact location in real time.

In addition, the devices include several advanced features, such as allowing users to designate customizable alert areas as electronic “fences” to notify them when a family member or pet leaves or enters a specified area. The devices can even track vehicle speeds to encourage safe driving decisions.

The company is also negotiating with other GPS smart-phone providers to make the enhancement available to their customers. Customers who sign up during a 30-day launch promotion will be charged $6.95 per month for as long as their account remains active and current. Regular price is $9.95 per month.
