One of the hallmarks of spy and action movies is the ability to track an object, be it a car, plane, or person, in real time as they move around the city. This ability to be constantly aware of an objects location has a lot of practical safety uses for the family and for business as well, and now this technology is in the hands of the general public. A much lower cost competitor named the Zoombak Personal Locator is now available for a fraction of the cost of the more well known GPS tracking devices.
Simply by placing the Zoombak in the family car, in a child's backpack, or even on the family dog, a user can instantly find out where that object is simply by logging on to a web page. The question is, in a real life situation does the Zoombak Personal Locator live up to its potential?
Features of the Zoombak Personal Locator
One of the primary draws to this product is the multiple ways that a user can monitor the position of the Zoombak device. Not only does the unit allow a user to track its position using web browser and map, it also allows the user to set up SMS text alerts should the unit travel outside of a predefined area.
