You wanted an affordable GPS tracking device that still offered our amazing GPS-standard 4 metre accuracy and real time tracking. We listened, we acted.
Now at very low cost you can download KoolTrax™ today and turn any Windows Mobile 5+*, GPS enabled mobile phone into a GPS tracking device, so you can track the exact location of your employees or loved ones.
Does it work outside the UK and Ireland?
It works wherever your phone works, just get roaming enabled on your phone. If you are buying from outside the UK, our secure payment pages allow you to choose from twelve major currencies including dollars.
This is NOT the same as the commonplace mobile tracking services offered that provide very poor accuracy and position on request. Follow these links to understand why you need GPS accuracy and real time tracking.
Here's our website developer trying both systems out. In this video the person being tracked uses a BlueRanger, but besides that, everything else is the same for KoolTrax.
You don't have to buy a dedicated BlueRanger tracking device for your family or your staff, they just need a Windows Mobile 5+ mobile phone* with GPS and KoolTrax™ software. Download it today.
Alert states
KoolTrax™ turns a Windows Mobile 5+*, GPS enabled mobile phone into a fully functioning GPS tracking device with all the location and panic-button alert functionality of BlueRanger (but no no-movement alarm or low battery alarm).
Using an Internet connected Windows PC with our BlueMap software (included) installed, you can set up one or more geographic boundaries by drawing an on screen map. Then when the person leaves (or enters) the area, you can set it to alert you either on-screen, by email or by mobile text message.
You can set more than one boundary for each user and switch between them as you wish. Have one for college, one for work, one for town, another for a friends house.
It's easy to set up a temporary boundary too, for instance around a club or venue, just for the night. When the tracking device leaves the boundary, you'll get an alert.
Alert methods
You can set up how alerts are delivered:
* Enter the people who are involved in the monitoring of the person
* Set up who receives notification of which type of alert
* Decide which method is used to deliver each alert: text message, email and/or on-screen alert
If your child, loved one, or employee uses KoolTrax™, you can track their whereabouts in real-time with accuracy down to just 4 metres using a Windows PC and the Internet.

*What if I don't have a Windows Mobile 5 phone?
In order to use KoolTrax™ software to turn your mobile phone or PDA into a personal GPS tracker, your phone needs to be running Windows Mobile 5+ and have NMEA compliant GPS capability.
If you don't know whether your phone is running Windows Mobile 5+, there's a screenshot on Wikipedia which shows you what it looks like.
KoolTrax™ also requires a device with GPS capability.
If your phone or PDA is incompatible but you want KoolTrax™, here are some options.
If your phone or PDA isn't Windows Mobile 5+, then you might consider taking the opportunity to get a new phone. If you're doing that, aim for a phone that has inbuilt GPS such as the Mio A701 available through Amazon.
Alternatively if your phone or PDA supports Java, a Java version of KoolTrax™ is under development, so you might prefer to wait for that. Sign up to receive notification when KoolTrax™ Java is launched.
The most common phone operating system is Symbian. If you have a Nokia, Ericsson, Sony Ericsson, Panasonic, Siemens AG, Samsung or BenQ phone it's likely it's running Symbian rather than Windows Mobile 5. We are developing a Symbian version too. Sign up to receive notification when KoolTrax™ Symbian is launched.
If you have a Windows Mobile 5+ phone that isn't GPS enabled, you can buy GPS devices that connect to your phone using BlueTooth, for instance those provided by Garmin or the Holux GPSlim236 Wireless Bluetooth GPS Receiver, again available through Amazon.
In addition, to manage the service and display the position of one or more KoolTrax™ user, you will need an Internet connected Windows PC.
If you would like to track a child or someone with dementia who is likely to lose or abuse such a desirable phone, or if you need a 'not being worn', no movement or man-down type alarm, consider BlueRanger.
KoolTrax™ makes GPS tracking accessible to all
You asked, we delivered. We know you want accurate, real-time GPS tracking at the best possible price. KoolTrax™ is the answer.

Sure, iPhone 3G is going to offer some solid GPS functionality right out of the box. Apple's updated iPhone site shows off some of the new features—most notably turn-by-turn directions—but TomTom is officially coming to the rescue of users who need a little more from their GPS.
