There are many different outlets and choices when it comes to picking which GPS tracking system works for your personal needs. The benefits of GPS tracking are undeniable. In today’s day and age, it is quite normal to keep track of where our family and friends are. Although some may think this is an over excessive precaution, I believe that this is not only the future, but an essential need for the younger generation, especially college students.

Although there are various options in the way of GPS tracking systems, “GeoZilla” is tackling this ground breaking technology and providing an up to date and improved version of this idea.

Alex Sharov, CEO and co-founder of GeoZilla, says that this specific family locator and GPS tracker can solve the biggest issue that current offerings deal with.

“This issue is battery drain, the weakest spot in the industry, which becomes even more of an issue for parents and kids users,” said Sharov.

GeoZilla is determined to cure this deficiency with its battery-friendly location algorithm that is continuously being tediously polished and perfected.

“It’s all about a technology magic under the hood but the main idea is instead of maintaining a constant connection behind the scene, the app gathers location information upon change in location,” said Sharov.

This is so important because if someone’s phone dies, there is no use in finding their location. This special feature alone improves GPS tracking tremendously. Students should create a “circle” with their friends before they go out for the night because it is a safe way of making sure their friends are all safe. The app eliminates that “where are you?" message as well as that scary moment when you can’t locate a friend or a loved one.

The app also offers a location history option which means if you are having trouble locating someone you can see the places they have recently been. Other features students would enjoy while using the app is location alerts, or geofencing, being notified when your friends arrive/leave a zone, as well as group and individual chats within the app.

Overall, GeoZilla is taking leaps in the GPS locators world and are providing an app that all college students could definitely benefit from.
