Do I need to use my iphone AND the tracker to keep tabs on my husband's whereabouts? He has dementia

You'll need you phone (most convenient) or a computer to know where he is. However the tracking service is completely unreliable. If he gets out on weekends or when it's cloudy or stands under a roof or overhang, you will not be able to find him. Ever.

Can you be more specific about your question? I am not sure exactly what you mean. You can use the app on the iPhone to check the whereabouts of the Garmin tracker.

no, the tracker provides exact coordinates of where it is, as long as the tracker is on him, it will show you an address, etc, but if you dont have access to a computer, you could use an app for your phone that shows the position of the tracker on it

The iphone app is only one way to keep track, it is quick and easy as a portable means. You can also go online to Garmin and see the location of the tracker from any internet access.

You can track the Garmin by going to the Garmin website and pressing locate my device. If it is on your husband, it will indicate the location. No need for the Iphone also.

Yes. You need to install the tracker application on the iPhone, which accesses my.garmin.com to locate the GTU 10 and display it's location. My wife has similar problems. I've installed one GTU-10 in her car and have another for her to carry on her person.

Anything added to thumb drive or iPhone was re-indexed and visible.FWIW - I bought this unit sometime ago, and never use it for Navigation now. Even when purchased, maps needed updating and they wanted $70 for the update. Unit is used now for Music, and Blue Tooth phone (iPhone) only.

You would have to hold down the main button whenever you wanted to track it... It won't continuously track it for you

I would not use the wallet tracker on anything but a purse or wallet. There is one for a keys that you might try

No it is only for home use. Try ICAM since you can watch you home from anywhere with a smart phone or iPhone.

Yes, if you unplug the base unit and wait 10 or 20 seconds, the unit will track your pet regardless of where it is in relation to the Home Zone because there is essentially no longer a Home Zone when the base is unplugged. Also, you can page the unit when it is within the Home Zone. The only problem I ever have with this device is if my cat removes the collar....

It does work without a connecting device. Every day you can see your steps, calories burned, etc. But I don't think you can track it more than one day only on the device as it resets every midnight. I was just looking into the apps and you might need a mac for the app. I suggest you contact Striiv cares (just google them) and talk to them. I am unsure of all the logistics but I do know that they are very responsive to questions. Good luck.

it's only important if you need to know where the device is and it's in an area with a poor signal, if the signal is too weak, you wont be able to track it right then, but, the tracker will still record the position and when it gets a signal, will transmit the entire history of where it has been, my experience has been that the signal is strong in most places, I believe it uses AT&T;'s network

We have never tracked our dog with ours. We really haven't fooled with it much, but I think the dog has to be pretty close to you in order for the device to pick up. I wish I had bought a GPS one rather than this one.

Your mother can track her from her smart phone if it is setup to monitor her. But the police can't find her without the person that has the account setup

There is a GPS app available, I have not used it. It's a basic tablet, I mainly use for Facebook & online shopping.

I purchased the phone for my brother in law with Parkinson's plus. Unfortunately, he was unable to use it successfully in the nursing home and it was removed from his room. I really don't know anything about it's workings and that was 2 years ago.He has since passed.

I charge mine every 2 weeks, but my dog is close to the home base most of the time. If it is active more because you have a large house or if activity monitoring is on, you could be looking more like a few days. The last time my wanderer got out, it was after I was notified that the battery was low, but it still had enough power to track him until I found him, which was less that 15 minutes. He was over a mile away and I didn't know what direction he had gone in, so it paid for itself right then. Without the tracker I would have been driving in a search pattern for hours.

You need to charge it first until the light is green. You'll also need to download the app associated with it. Once you have the app you put in your profile and sync it with tracker. Once you start wearing it - it will track your activity and you can check it on the app whenever you want. The app should be listed on the little paper that came with it

Yes! You will be directed to the fitbit website and will see all the same information you would see via phone or ipad. The fitbit is awesome for tracking and giving you the motivation to move!

So far, it gives you the location, but I tend to find that the device is not accurate past 20-30 feet. So if you are using to track a person with some sort of cognitive issue, you will know the general area to look, but not the specific area.
