Do u really really want this?

GPS tracking device has been around for a very long time. The main market at the moment is for tracking lost patients (mainly with dementia at nursing homes). They are used widely in the US and the UK is testing it:

The bottomline is that too many patients go missing and this drains the police resources. This makes 24hr monitoring attractive. Each GPS device costs about £30 a month to run.

If you just want tracking while u are out riding or in case of an accident, I am sure you can find some apps on your phone which will do this...
 
Hi thanks for the reply, i don't think its the same thing i'm thinking about these bands are only about £20 and just make it easier for the emergency services to find you if you have an accident will look into it a bit more.
 
If you have an android phone, there is an app with a gps tracker!

You 'start' it when you start riding, and then it monitors your movement and sends out an sos message to a chosen contact if you are still for more than a set amount of time - only a couple of quid :)
