Can I by this item find the child when he is lost? by GPS on google maps or another maps?

Yes. Only if this insrument is connected to your phone through bluetooth. But I returned it because it connected to my iPhone only once. After disconnecting for first time it was not ready to reconnect to my phone. So it was worthless. Amzon did the full refund.

There is nothing you can do. This is merely a digital recorder using GPS coordinates, that once retrieved from the vehicle, is mapped out using the existing software. You cannot get that info, until you get the unit back and retrieve the memory. If you have one in your car and it was stolen, you might contact the manufacturer to see if they are able to track the device, you will probably need the serial number of the unit to do so.

Can you be more specific about your question? I am not sure exactly what you mean. You can use the app on the iPhone to check the whereabouts of the Garmin tracker.

No, GPS systems show only the location of the receiver - they don't "track" people or objects. What you're asking about is called a "PLB" or Personal Locator Beacon, such as this http://www.amazon.com/ACR-Terrafix-406-Gps-Rebate/dp/B001JQ0C20/ or http://www.amazon.com/McMurdo-82-826-004A-Fastfind-Personal-Locator/dp/B000EFAT98/. However, these devices require activation by the user, so they still don't function exactly like you're asking. Now then, "Lojack" does make a product for tracking "at risk" people, such as Alzheimer's patients: http://www.locatorsystemscorp.com/ , but I'm going to assume your brother isn't in that category.

Responds well! I use iPhoto and an option in iPhoto will show a small map in the lower right wit exact location. Also from the camera you can plug GPS coordinates into a web site and see the location

It would be necessary to push the button to call for help. The most use we have found from the device is giving a very, very general indication of where our child has been (not even within actual blocks but much further from actual locations and without being informed in a timely manner). This could not be useful at the moment of kidnapping, might provide very general travel path information after the fact. The battery on the device doesn't hold up either. When our contract runs out, we will be switching to a smart phone with an app for tracking the phone.

I am sure the depth finder will work fine. Probably need to see about a map apart from the one that comes on it.You would be able to use the GPS also.

Yes. I've never done it; but the manual says you can enter & find locations by geographic coordinates (e.g., helpful when geocaching).

Thanks, Valdvogel...you gave me just the info I needed. Of course, the first inclination is to purchase an expensive NUVI, but it's good to know that an earlier hand-held works even better! We already have a GPS (Staples brand) that works great for road directions, but it uses wrong coordinates for geo-caching. It's just too difficult to"translate" the coordinates for every cache! Thanks again!

Upon turning on the unit it will begin a bread crumb trail of where you go. If you want to return home it will show you on a map where you have been. If you set a way point at any time you can find your way back to that point. Just remember that if your electronics fail and you have no idea where you are you will be cooked!

I dont oen this anymore as it was stolen from my son..but I would suggest it needs some kind of update or possibly Internet.

Since you can use your finger, I'm think any stylus would work. My biggest complaint is when the child lifts the stylus in the middle of the line, it doesn't remember where they left off. If the child doesn't mark the end-point correctly, they have to start the entire the over. The square is probably the most difficult object to trace.

I had no trouble downloading the app for my Android phone and, when needed, I can go to the website, put in the locator number and find the gps. My husband has worn this since August of 2013 and I can always find where he is on my phone when I'm away. Go to www.pocketfinder.com to check on the gps; when I called them twice with questions, I spoke directly with a service rep who was very helpful.

The GPS tracking itself should work all over the world.What might be limited may be the map material available for your region that allows you to see the paths on a map.As a workaround it is always possible to use Google Earth to visualize the paths, which should have satellite imagery for most locations on earth, and is available for free.

I don't know, but regardless, it is far inferior to Google maps. Streets and trips is a complete waste of money.

Philip, I just experimented with it and it appears to have a stand alone GPS. What I did was kill the Google Maps app and turned off the wifi connection. Then I started the Google Maps app and had it "find me". It pinpointed my location without any network connectivity, leading me to believe it has a separate GPS part. Hope this helps.

no, the tracker provides exact coordinates of where it is, as long as the tracker is on him, it will show you an address, etc, but if you dont have access to a computer, you could use an app for your phone that shows the position of the tracker on it
