1. How It Works

MyKidsGPS is a GPS/GSM tracking device which reports real-time geographic information by sending an
SMS to your mobile phone.

By making a phone call from a 3G phone, the MyKidsGPS will answer, then immediately will hang up,
and send back GPS location information, as well as a Google Map link via an SMS (text message).

By clicking on the Google Map link, your 3G phone will open Google Maps on the screen to display the
location of the device.
