OneLocator: GPS Family Safety helps families stay connected and informed throughout the day. It brings together location sharing, arrival and departure alerts, trip information, device status, and phone finding tools in one simple app. Family members can choose to share their live location and appear together on a single map. This makes everyday coordination easier, whether you want to know that your child arrived at school, check if someone reached home safely, or follow a shared location during a journey. Instead of calling or sending messages throughout the day, you can quickly open OneLocator and see the latest available location of the people who are sharing with you. Safe zones and place alerts Create Safe Zones around important places such as home, school, university, work, or a relative’s house. OneLocator can notify you when a family member arrives at or leaves a Safe Zone. For example, you can know when your child reaches school in the morning or when a family member arrives back home in the evening. Live location sharing Location sharing makes it easy for family members to stay connected while moving between places. Everyone who chooses to participate can be viewed together on the map, helping you stay informed without repeatedly asking for updates. It can also be useful when traveling, meeting somewhere unfamiliar, attending events, or coordinating everyday family plans. Full location history OneLocator lets you review location history for connected devices so you can look back at previous locations, routes, and trips. Location history can help you review a journey, understand daily movement, or check the route taken during a previous trip. Driving reports For family members who drive, OneLocator provides Driving Reports with useful information about journeys and driving activity. These reports help you review completed trips and stay informed when family members are traveling by car. Find a lost or misplaced phone A phone may be left at work, forgotten in a car, misplaced while traveling, or simply hidden somewhere around the house. OneLocator can help you find a connected phone by showing its latest available location, helping you narrow down where to look. Battery status and alerts OneLocator lets you view the battery status of connected devices so you can see when a family member’s phone is running low. Low-battery alerts can give you advance notice before a device runs out of power, which can be useful when children are away from home or someone is traveling. OneLocator includes: • Live location sharing between family members • Family members together on one map • Safe Zone arrival and departure alerts • Safe Zones for important places • Full location history • Previous routes and trip details • Driving Reports • Help finding lost or misplaced phones • Latest available device location • Battery status for connected devices • Low-battery alerts Built for everyday family life OneLocator is designed to be useful during everyday moments, not only emergencies. Check that your child reached school, see when a family member gets home, coordinate during a trip, review an earlier journey, or find a phone that has gone missing. Location sharing is based on participation between connected users, giving families a practical and simple way to stay informed. Whether your family is at home, at school, at work, on the road, or traveling together, OneLocator helps keep important location and device information close at hand. Stay connected, stay informed, and make everyday family coordination easier with OneLocator: GPS Family Safety. NOTE : Continued use of GPS location services in the background can significantly decrease battery life. Check out our privacy policy : https://locatorprivacy.com We love to hear from customers.
