Start with the question you want answered
Most parents don't want to watch a map all day. They want a few answers: did she get on the bus, is she at school, has she been picked up, where did that bag go? Some families also want to call their child, or see exactly where they are at any moment.
The first set of answers needs moments. The second needs a SIM.
What a GPS watch does
A GPS watch with its own SIM can show live location, make calls and often has an SOS button. It needs a mobile plan and charging, and most have a screen, which can mean games and distraction in class.
What the Terra GO Band and Bag Tag do
- No screen: nothing to scroll and nothing to distract.
- No GPS and no SIM: today's Band and Bag Tag use Bluetooth.
- At a Terra GO school: staff tap it at each handover and you get a WhatsApp or SMS update.
- On your own: it works with Find My on iPhone and Find Hub on Android. You can see where it is, play a sound and get directions. When no phone is nearby, you see where it was last seen.
So it is not live, minute-by-minute tracking, and Terra GO says so plainly. It gives you the context behind the dot: boarded the bus, through the gate, lunch taken.
When a SIM device makes sense
If you need to call your child, or see where they are live, you need a device with its own SIM. Terra GO Pro is coming with exactly that: live location, safe zones, calls and an SOS button, plus wellness on the Pro Band, with the same school tap. It is in development. Meet Terra GO Pro.
