Easy to Use Peace of Mind
My father cannot speak, read or write due to a stroke. He also cannot walk without assistance. He does however go out on daily walkabouts on his motorized wheelchair to cruise around the local neighborhoods and go shopping at some of the stores. This is important for his mental health and sense of independence and brings him great joy and freedom.
He has thrown 2 (different brand) GPS units away because he hates the idea that someone is watching where he is going. Each GPS unit had to be charged daily and it was a real pain to do so. Dad would see me charging it and would sneak out before it would get put back on his wheelchair or unplug the unit so it didn't charge, etc. He finally made them "disappear.” He likes to go outside of his 1 mile "allowed" area. Since we live in a large city it is almost impossible to find him then, which causes huge amounts of stress.
I love the LandAirSea 54 unit for a number of reasons.
1) It is small, compact, does not look like a GPS and is easily hidden on his wheelchair.
2) it has a very long battery life so there's no more daily charging for me.
3) the 54 unit is extremely easy to use and has full tracking capability.
4) my stress level because of Dad's walkabouts was causing some real health issues for me. Now that I can track him I can feel a significant decrease in my stress level.
