Missing

My father in law had Alzheimer's before he passed away. We had him living in an Assisted Living Facility for all the good it actually did. They would let him go outside and take walks around the property and such. We were always worried that he would just some day keep walking and we would never see him again. The doctor told us that a person with Alzheimer's can go from one stage to another with no warning at all. I wish we could have had some sort of tracking device on him that we would have been able to find him with no panic or terrible consequences. There is now such a device being marketed now which would have given us the peace of mind we needed at the time. It is a tiny GPS unit which can be tracked in real time on Google Maps and it is marketed by GTX Corp. I have used Google Maps for a long time but never once thought that you would be able with a small GPS unit be able to track a person. I really think there would be a lot of good uses for something like this. You could have one of them for your children. This way if a child is abducted the police would be able to find them. I am sure these would also be good for tracking a stolen vehicle. But, I really believe that the possible uses for tracking people such as children and the elderly would be a fantastic idea.
