Whatever your needs may be there is a personal GPS tracker designed specifically to fit them.

What Is GPS Personal Tracking?
GPS personal tracking is the ability for any person to locate another person, object or thing with the use of a device that receives information from the GPS satellite network in space. All real-time personal GPS tracking systems include some sort of transmitter - that ultimately sends this data back to the end user. The most popular mode of transmitting the data back using GPRS through a cellular telephone company provider like AT&T or Sprint. For this reason, there are monthly subscription fees that the end user is responsible for just as with a cell phone.
Some devices like the SPOT Personal Satellite Locater, transmit its information back up to a satellite, who receives the information and relays it and back down to earth.
Whether you are concerned about the well being of your small children, or would like to monitor elderly relatives, would like to offer additional layers of security for your loved ones or family members, a personal GPS tracking system has many uses in today's world.

Android OS for SmartPhones
Reading reviews on top apps for Android-based smartphones can help you determine what you should be using on your own.  This one will focus on utility apps which are certainly not as ‘sexy' as other categories of apps, but are nonetheless important.  So here we go:

TasKiller
Memory use is a critical thing with smartphones, so an app like TasKiller should have been part of the operating system.  But, with this app, you can kill apps in a second and free up available memory to run the next one that you need to use.  You will use it more than you think.

Weather Channel
Instead of turning on the television in the morning and having to cut through all of the boring talk, you can load this app and see at a glance what the weather is and will be for your day and ten days beyond.  The other great feature is that you can view active radar as well.

Softrace
Tracking your runs is just one of the features of this nice app.  You can also compete in a virtual setting with friends locally or across the nation, and even against your own past performances.  GPS tracking technology uses Google Maps and shows a nice detail of your run and your location. Your family can track you on another similar cell phone by becoming one of your race opponents. This app has many uses and will certainly help you become more focused with your exercise regimen. We also recommend our friends at OtterBox to protect your device when you are in rugged terrain. Their great solutions keep your device protected!
