From an article in TechCrunch.jp, a media outlet I adore.
Keeping an eye on your kids with GPS, indoors and out - Jiobit raises $3 million
After his own child got lost in Chicago's Millennium Park and he spent 20 minutes frantically searching for her, Renaldi realized that most previous products were poorly packed with location information and didn't work well either indoors or out.
I don't know what product you were using, but I like it. I got myself in trouble, so let's make something better! That's the fundamental motivation of a startup.
The following are some of the features listed for the product
- Small and light weight (20g)
- Battery lasts from 1 week to 45 days
- Modular mounting allows it to be attached to clothing or shoes and not slip off
- Completely waterproof for 30 minutes to a depth of 5 feet.
- GPS MEASUREMENT
- Equipped with tamper-evident security chip
IF YOU WANT TO INCREASE THE LEVEL OF GPS, I FEEL LIKE THE ONLY WAY TO DO THAT IS TO WORK HARDER AT THE CHIP LEVEL. WHAT THE APP CAN PICK UP IS NEVER GOING TO BE MORE THAN HARDWARE. I'D BE INTERESTED TO HEAR THE VIEWS OF THE EXPERTS.
IT'S UP FOR PREORDER NOW, AND YOU CAN GET IT FOR $99US!
