New GPS phone tracker software has large parent appeal

    KENT, UK, February 23, 2009 MaiMai News -- Blue Tree Services who produce this software have been inundated with calls from parents who want to use this software to track their children.

Parents who have already decided to purchase a mobile phone in the interests of safety are excited by this development. It means they can see where their child is at any given time and can also enable them to retrieve the phone in the event of loss or theft.

KoolTrax turns your mobile phone / PDA into a GPS tracker, enabling its exact location to be monitored on the Internet or on another mobile PDA.


The software includes:

-1 X software and login for KoolTrax or Mobile for tracking
-1 X software and login for PC for mapping and administration

(Add as many KoolTrax or downloads as you like to track all of your friends family or colleagues)

The KoolTrax software bundle enables you to use your phone a tracking device as well as a search device.


One of the phones can have the KoolTrax Handset software (Windows Mobile only), which shows a map on the phone, its own position, and the position of another phone.

One of the phones will have KoolTrax Mobile software which reports its own position both to the Handset and to the PC.

Tracking with KoolTrax is live and continuous. This means users can see where the phone is all of the time, and Blue Tree Systems' KoolTrax PC (included) allows users to administer the phones remotely and to do things like set geofences, see the breadcrumb history and set up contacts for alerts (by email or SMS) from the phone.

The PC software controls the phone tracking interval, alerts for alarms inside or outside boundaries, provides the tracking history for each device and lets you monitor as many devices as you have licenses for all on one screen and all continuously (every 4-10 seconds)
Mike Smuts, Managing Director of Blue Tree Services, commented "Lots of children these days want a mobile phone so they can persuade their parents to give them a bit more freedom. We are finding that parents are more inclined to give their child a mobile if it can have this software so they have that extra security. It seems to be a win win for both parent and child. "

New versions for Blackberry and i-phone are planned for the end of February.

Key features include:

No limit to the number of KoolTrax trackers you can watch on your PC
An alert button - for emergencies
Boundary alerts
Breadcrumb trail history
