What is tracking?

A group of people wearing backpacks Description automatically generated

Trackers are fixed to a participant’s rucksack and Tracking systems display the locations of the trackers on receiving devices such as computers, mobile phones, and web portal. Therefore, trackers can be used to monitor the location and progress of groups on expeditions.

There are many ways satellite trackers can be used to meet duty of care requirements – ranging from SOS response to automatic tracking of a full journey.

The Mapyx Tracking Solution is the most comprehensive tracking solution available and the only DofE Recommended solution. Tracking is available on PC, mobile (Android and iOS) and Web.

Testimonials

Dominic Turpin, DofE Coordinator, Olchfa School, Swansea “The Mapyx Tracking System has revolutionised the way we manage our DofE Expeditions. No more sitting around waiting for hours for groups to arrive, wondering where they are and if they are safe, especially in poor weather conditions. Now we have an update of their locations every five minutes. It means we can anticipate problems before they arise and if there were an injury, quickly pinpoint their location. It means we can use our staff far more efficiently so that they arrive at checkpoints at appropriate times and can then move on to the next checkpoint. It also means that at gold level, we can maintain our distance from the groups, while still having an overview of their progress. I have only used the Out-of-Hours Emergency Service once when I had a technical query, but they answered on a Sunday morning and resolved my problems within ten minutes! I would never go back to not using Trackers; it has created an additional safety level on our DofE expeditions which pupils, parents and staff really appreciate.”
Trudie Raftery, DofE Manager, Oundle School, East Northamptonshire “Pupils feel reassured that we can find them using the Mapyx tracking system if they get lost. We have many expedition groups out at the same time and therefore having such an easy-to-use system as Mapyx is essential. We can see pupils in real time, locate a group by quick text or TrackWeb, and can see where they have been walking and where they went wrong.”
