Current Location Device Technology 
 
Personal location devices assist with keeping track of people, animals, and their belongings. These are some of the current technologies being used.
Emergency beacons are used a lot by hikers. It can send an emergency signal if the person gets lost. Rescue workers can use the signal to locate the person.
Global Positioning System (GPS) is found in smartphones, cars, and watches. GPS helps you navigate to a location by giving you a set of directions. Smartphones have apps that use GPS to see where you are located. You can share your location with family and friends to let them know you are safe. Smartwatches also use GPS. They can provide walking routes or send your location to someone if you need help. Kids have these watches too. It helps the parents keep track of their children so they won’t worry so much about them.
Bluetooth trackers are wireless connections. These trackers can be placed on important items that you don’t want to accidentally lose. If you do lose the item, your phone or someone else’s phone can find it.
Some Smart clothing can have GPS trackers attached. People would not need to carry anything extra.
Today’s technology helps locate people and items that are lost but it doesn’t always pinpoint an exact location. Power is often lost before rescues can happen or the device gets broken. Our team’s project will locate a missing person without the worry of power loss, equipment failure, or simply forgetting the device.
