Product Description

The Wherify Personal Locator is a wrist-worn GPS locator for children. The unit uses both the Global Positioning System (GPS) and the Sprint PCS (CDMA) network. To locate the person wearing the device, a request is made either by logging on a web site or calling a service center. The local center sends a signal to the device, which in turn interrogates the GPS and reports its location to the center. The requester then receives a location report consisting of the approximate street address (for phone request) or a local map (web request). The device has a self-setting clock and can receive numerical pages. Emergency 911 requests can be initiated by either the parent or the child wearing the device.
