GPS technology for older adults has matured far beyond turn-by-turn directions. Today’s GPS devices and apps can track location in real time, alert family members if a senior strays from a safe zone, and help emergency services find someone who’s fallen or become disoriented. For active senior men who drive, hike, travel, or simply want the peace of mind that comes with being findable, GPS is no longer optional — it’s essential. In this episode, we cover the best GPS options for older adults, explain how to choose the right device for your lifestyle, and walk through how to set it up for both your own use and for family awareness.
