Anyone Using Tack GPS device?

Hi,

Just got a Tack for my dad, pretty good, but it kicks my husband off if I'm on and vice versa. I also only want to see where he is, not share my location but it keep wanting my location and drains my phone battery. Any ideas?

    There's another way to look at the issue - if he is in a care home and can leave -which concerns you- maybe it is getting time to switch him to memory care for safety .

    All any tracker can do is report location- not whether they looked both ways before crossing the street , gave a stranger their wallet — ID info etc. You'd just find them quicker after something went wrong- keeping them safe before that happens is achievable.

    Good points, thank you. He loves where he is so much, and he mostly just hangs out in his room or the dining room. Maybe I'm being naive though, since he is worsening in other areas.
