The Aetrex  Navistar™ GPS Shoes, powered by GTX Corp., go on sale through Safe Track’s e-commerce website, www.safetracksgps.ca. Further, Canada’s largest GSM cell phone provider, with more than 9.2 million users servicing 95 percent of Canada’s population, will be the Canadian wireless provider for the GPS Shoes.

The patented GTX Corp technology in the Aetrex Navistar ™ GPS Shoes enable  wearers to be monitored remotely, there by helping to ensure their safety, providing peace of mind to their caregivers, and reducing the cost of more frequent human oversight. The GPS Shoes are embedded with a miniaturized proprietary module, which contains the locator’s integrated GPS / Cellular chipset and the SIM card that is unique to each wearer. The GPS Shoes will communicate via Roger’s Canada cellular network, and send location coordinates via a wireless data connection, similar to sending SMS messages on a cell phone. If the wearer of the GPS Shoes wanders outside of a pre-set location determined by the caregiver, an SMS or e -mail message will alert the caregiver instantly.

The GPS Shoes have been heralded by healthcare and technology authorities around the world, and are featured in the 100 Most Important Inventions of Mankind exhibit in the National Museum of Science and Technology in Sweden.
