GPS Tracker Hire

PLEASE NOTE: GPS Tracker Hire is currently only available to Wyre Forest & The Malverns Scout Groups. Other areas of Hereford & Worcester may be considered for an additional postage cost or if you are willing to collect so please contact us to discuss

We are lucky enough at WF16 in partnership with 1st Malverns Wells that we own a set of GPS trackers. These allow us to track expedition groups remotely and provides an extra level of safety (and peice of mind to leaders) to how we remotely monitor groups of young people walking without leaders.

    Full roaming sim cards enabling trackers to use any mobile network in the UK and EU to give maximum coverage

  • OS Maps

    Integration with OS 1:25000 Leisure Maps

    Abbility to import routes onto the tracker map

  • Mobile Friendly

    Mobile friendly website for viewing tracker map. Multiple logins possible so all leaders can view
