Technology Is A Wonderful Thing
All in all have a personal GPS Navigator is a good thing in my opinion. Imagine never losing a child again, or never getting lost in the wilderness while out hiking. Imagine all the resources that won't have to be used to find missing hikers or lost children. Those resources could be used for other things. The cost of a personal GPS are going down as technology gets better and better. My kids are grown so I have no use for a child locator but if my kids were still minors you can bet they would be wearing a personal GPS Navigator and Locator. What peace of mind for parents. A wonderful idea.

I am going to be getting one for my car soon. No need for huge fold out maps anymore, just ask you GPS. How cool.
