Anybody know of a personal GPS device that could be attaced to a wheelchair? ?

Question

A person I know uses a wheelchair to get around but cannot speak. He wants a GPS device so that he can be independant but still locatable. Any suggestions.

Answer 1

some phones have the gps in them, it can serve a dual purpose, he could ring someone, even without speaking, in case of emergency.

and...

i cant believe i'm actually suggestting this... they have those subcutaneous chips that keep track of people.

Answer 2

Easiest and cheapest overall would be a simple cell phone with text messaging and a keyboard. This would solve several problems.

If you google GPS person locator you'll get several options with a variety of pros and cons.  

Answer 3

Hey,

The best option would be a unit called the tomtom RIDER. This is made for a motorbike and has an attachment that would go around the handle bars. It comes with an earpeice as well so that you don't necessarily have to have it blaring.

Hope this helps.
