Britain has invaded the United States! Or at least a part of the US, that is. With British firm Lok8u now in Vegas – and it’s not at the roulette tables or the slot machines. Lok8u is now in Vegas to forward their newest addition of a GPS tracking device.
That is Nu•M8. And it’s the best news for parents and their children ever.
The Nu•M8 has been dubbed in UK as the innovative best friend for parents whose children are loaded with extra energy and friendliness. Yes, face it. Kids these days tend to run ahead or to the other direction and gets lost in the malls or better yet, meet new pals in the vast world of playgrounds and parks. When the kids are not within the parents reach, everyone normally freaks out and dials the local emergency number. What a hassle!
This is where Nu•M8 comes helpful to both parents and the kids. In a form of a humble digital watch, the kids are within reach as it is actually a GPS tracking device, making your kids always in a safe zone even if you can’t actually see them. The Nu•M8 watch-like tracking device lets you set a safe zone for your little rascals and dames. It sets of an alert automatically when the kids go beyond the set zones. Also, the Nu•M8 can pinpoint exactly the location of your kids through SMS or by simple checking your secure website.
For additional peace of mind, the Nu•M8 also sends out alert when it’s forcibly removed, allowing parents to be on immediate action if this happens.
Nu•M8 was recently unveiled in Las Vegas as Lok8u’s response to bring the gadget to the US mainstream market. The GPS child locator, being the first of its kind, is not only appreciated by parents as a safety measure, it is also a practical daily use for children, making their safety an everyday assurance.
Lok8u announced the Nu•M8 price is pegged at £149.99 ($218).
