GPS Tracker Shop Touts Mini Personal GPS System
With so many different GPS monitoring solutions on the market capable of doing everything from boosting fleet management to enhancing personal safety, manufacturers, distributors and online readers are always contacting GPS Tracking Review to reinforce or refute claims of GPS device performance. One GPS monitoring device that has built up a buzz over the past year is a system offered through GPS Tracker Shop called the S911 Lola System. According to the product description on the company website, the GPS is the world’s smallest tracker with two-way voice communication and has multiple features designed to increase personal safety. With applications related to senior and child safety on the rise, GPS Tracking Review purchased a S911 Lola System and put the tracker through a rigorous testing and evaluation process to determine how effective the personal monitoring device really was.
S911 Lola System Features & Specs
S911 Lola GPS Arrives
When the S911 Lola arrived, our experts were first very impressed by the product packaging. With so many GPS companies reselling junk units engineered in China or simply putting their domestically developed GPS systems in a cardboard shipping box, the S911 Lola definitely has the appearance of a product with value. However, shiny wrapping paper and a cute box isn’t enough to distract the specialists at GPS Tracking Review.
Before the S911 Lola GPS arrived the device had to be programmed with a panic button number, cell phone number for text message alerts and email address for email alerts. This was one of the very first things the evaluation team felt was a positive because when it comes to personal safety, multiple avenues to alert for assistance are important. Therefore, as soon as the mini tracker battery was charged the first thing tested was the alerting features.
- Panic Button: when the panic button was pressed during testing it instantly dialed out to the number GPS Tracking Review programmed, allowing the two parties to communicate with one another via speaker phone through the mini tracker.
- Text Alert: after a geo-fence was created using the online interface, the virtual boundary was intentionally breeched. Within about one minute the programmed cellular number was alerted with notification of the breech via text message.
- Email alert: the email alert worked as efficiently as the text alert, however the length of time to receive the alert was approximately one minute longer. This more than likely had to do with the transmission of data via email servers, something not related to product efficiency and taken into consideration. Continue Reading »

Real-Time GPS Tracker For Personal Safety
The technology market continues to advance and evolve, resulting in the production and manufacturing of multiple products that make our lives easier and safer. One of these products that recently caught the attention of our GPS tracking system experts is a product known as the Senior GPS Bracelet, a real-time GPS tracker designed specifically for personal monitoring. With such a buzz surrounding the tracker fashioned as a wristwatch, GPS Tracking Review decided to bring the device in for a thorough testing and product evaluation.
Product Claims According To Tracking System Direct:
Senior GPS Bracelet is the ideal personal monitoring solution for families concerned that a elderly loved one could wander or become lost due to memory-related illnesses such as Alzheimer’s. The lightweight device offers two-way voice communication, geographical fencing, panic SOS alerts and live real-time locational updates on where a senior, child or anyone wearing the bracelet is at.
Putting The Features To The Test
Geographical Fencing: One of the key selling points of the GPS tracking bracelet is a feature that allows a user to set a virtual boundary over a satellite imaging program. When this boundary is crossed a text message or email alert is transmitted to the emergency contact. After a person receives and activates their GPS bracelet all they have to do is login to the Internet-based mapping program and create a geographical fence in the desired location. The process of creating and moving geo-fences was actually very simple to do, and the accuracy of the alerts was impressive. During the testing, within seconds of a geo-fence being crossed an alert was sent out. This is very important for families with Autistic children or seniors with Alzheimer’s who may wander off.

Putting SilverCloud Sync Tracker To The Test
The global marketplace is always bringing new real-time GPS trackers to consumers and businesses. Some of these new innovations fizzle out quickly, while others become technological darlings of the gadget world. For every iPad that revolutionizes the market, there are hundreds of products such as the Microsoft Kin or Google TV. The writers at GPS Tracking Review are in no way saying the Microsoft Kin or Google TV are bad products, but simply stating they never lived up to their hype, falling far below consumer expectations. That is why when review and technology websites began blogging extensively about a new GPS monitoring device called the SilverCloud Sync Tracker, the experts at GPS Tracking Review decided this was a device that needed to be investigated and reviewed.
Popular Features Of SilverCloud Sync Tracker
- Real-Time GPS Monitoring Solution
- Updates As Fast As Every 5 Seconds
- Simply Plug-In To On Board Diagnostics Port
- Online Based Satellite Mapping Program
- Lifetime Access To Past Driving Records
- Automobile Idling Documentation
- Speed, Low-Battery & Geo-Fence Alerts
How The SilverCloud Sync Tracker Works
SilverCloud Sync Tracker is a real-time GPS tracker that connects directly to the On Board Diagnostics Port of any automobile. The monitoring device pulls power from the battery of the target vehicle, and offers a tamper warning alert to notify fleet managers if a driver is trying to manipulate the device. Once the device is connected to the target vehicle the GPS data is transmitted to a LandAirSea server where the user can access the position of the automobile in real-time. This GPS data is also stored for life on the server, giving users the ability to access historical driving records of employees. With a web-based platform utilizing Google Earth and Google Maps, the SilverCloud Sync Tracker data can be viewed from any personal computer, Mac operating system, smart phone or tablet device with Internet connection.
