How Built-in GPS Chips Can Help You

By Dudley Goblirsch


GPS chips are becoming so small and lightweight these days that they can be built into just about anything. For instance, they are able to safely and effortlessly help monitor your child's or your pet's specific location. If your kid runs off, whether he was sidetracked by something, simply forgot to tell you he's going to a friend's house, or just got lost in a crowd, tracking him won't be a predicament. By making use of built-in GPS tracking chips, you will be constantly aware of where your pet or child is using your mobile phone, notebook computer or other portable devices to track them.

Built-in GPS chips are attached to a group of satellites that allows consistency in pinpointing the position of whatever or whoever has a GPS chip. They are often used to track kids, pets, cattle, property and perhaps yourself. What's even better, you'll not remember its even there because its literally built-in.

If you enjoy hiking or long-distance running, the built-in GPS chip can track how far you went, exactly what your route was and most importantly, where you are if you get lost. Other uses for built-in GPS chips are tracking your teenager to make sure he or she is safe and secure and doing what he or she told you the plan was, with the people he or she said they'd be with. A GPS chip for dogs can also be implanted in your pet by a veterinarian so you can locate and identify your dog wherever he is.

GPS chips can be safely built in to a variety of personal items, including but not limited to bracelets, necklaces, anklets, watches, shoes, cell phones, belts, hats and even stitched into clothing. This technology is just beginning to blossom, and soon we might see clothing with GPS sewn right in, or shoes that have GPS in the soles. For now, you can buy a small chip and do the work yourself of building it in.

As GPS technology gets more complex, check out built-in GPS chips for you, your pets and the people around you.
