LBT PocketFinder personal GPS locator review: LBT PocketFinder personal GPS locator

 

The PocketFinder personal GPS locator by Location Based Technologies is an unassuming device. It's basically a small lump of white plastic with no buttons, no lights, and no obvious purpose. However, inside are an accurate GPS location antenna and an...

The LBT PocketFinder is extremely easy to use, requiring little to no interaction by the wearer. The included gel cases and clip are attractive without drawing attention to the device's purpose. Web and iOS apps give users access to up to 60 days of...

Annual operating costs are higher than those of competing devices.

The PocketFinder is the simplest to use of the personal GPS locators that we've tested, requiring no interaction from the user on a day-to-day basis, but you'll pay a bit more in the long run for that.

"Does not work without G2 cell phone coverage"

 

I first tried PF at our vacation spot in Monterey CA. It worked like a charm. Very accurate waypoints and very timely...every two minutes. Simply slip it out of the recharger, give it a couple of shakes to wake it up, and stuff it into my pocket. It...

Very accurate and timely tracking, easy to use when G2 is available

G2 is dated technology and being removed, device should be at least G3

"Did not work for me. Never correct and short battery."

 

Would not bother with this device. I have used find my iphone which works much better. Only wish find my I phone would show where you are in relation to the device. Of course the return policy is only 15-30 days before your trial period is up. Also has...

I liked the idea that you were suppose to be able to see your location in relation to the device.

I tried to use it many times and spent a lot of time calling tech support. Nice people but never seem to resolve my problems. The device would show an old location. Went through all the steps again and again but could never find my child.

"The best there is."

 

I find it sad when I see that someone doesn't like this device because I've tried just about every device out there at great expense for my autistic son and this is the only one that really works. And this isn't even near being the most expensive. If...

Simply the best child tracking device made. Take the time to learn how to use it and you will never regret it. I've tried so many devices for my autistic son and this is the only one that truly works. I love this product.

None if one is to takes the time to learn how to use it. When I see that someone isn't happy with it, I already know they didn't take the time to learn the technology. These people are wonderful with great tech support.

"Peace of mind. Surprised me."

 

I was surprised by how much my wife and I now value this product that we first bought just for use on our vacation. Would recommend it to anyone with kids.

The iPhone App is easy and has all the features I would want.

Would like a family plan so it's cheaper to have multiple units.
