Why Travelers Use GPS Monitoring
The following statistics are sourced from US government agencies and published reports. They provide context for why location monitoring tools are used by travelers — not claims made by SENTRICK.
Travel Monitoring Features
SENTRICK devices send location data and notifications. They do not prevent theft, guarantee recovery, or replace professional security services.
Luggage Location Monitoring
SENTRICK TAG attaches discreetly inside your bag or suitcase and sends real-time location updates to the SENTRICK app — so you can check where your luggage is at any time during your journey.
Real-Time GPS Updates
Receive live GPS coordinates for your tracked items updated every few seconds. View location history and movement trails directly in the SENTRICK app on iOS or Android.
Separation Alerts
Set a proximity zone for your luggage or personal items. If the item moves beyond the defined range, the SENTRICK app sends an immediate notification to your phone.
Rental Car Monitoring
SENTRICK AUTO™ magnetically attaches under any rental vehicle and sends location updates throughout your trip — useful for monitoring where a rental car is parked or if it has been moved.
Child Location Awareness
SENTRICK KID™ lets traveling families check their child's location in real time. Parents receive notifications when a child moves outside a defined safe zone — useful in airports, theme parks, and crowded destinations.
International Coverage
SENTRICK devices use global cellular and GPS networks with coverage in 150+ countries — enabling location monitoring whether you are traveling domestically or internationally.
