Gap Safety Phone App

19 Nov 2010

A new subscription-based mobile phone application has been launched to allow a gap year traveller to be followed live online as they travel abroad. "Gaptrac" provides an extra level of safety for the user via a "Red Alert" key which allows the user to summon help on a worldwide basis if they encounter a problem. The user does not need to 'check-in' - his or her location is automatically updated and available online to authorised followers. Gaptrac has been developed as a market leading social networking application providing rapid and one-touch automated uploading of photo's, video's and audio blogs direct from the users phone. Gaptrac also gives free worldwide text messaging between Gaptrac handsets and followers online.
