Meili GPS: Track Your Team in the Outdoors
Personal GPS Tracking for the Outdoors
TRACK YOUR TEAM & Mitigate Risk with Meili GPS
Meili GPS is a new and innovative personal GPS tracking system, born in Oxford, England and designed for people who love the outdoors.
Our lightweight, weatherproof, personal Meili GPS trackers allow groups and individuals to be tracked in the outdoors, for weeks at a time.
And our Meili Earth app, for iOS & Android, shows you (and your team) the location, route and status of all your Meili GPS Trackers on 1:25,000 outdoor maps, worldwide.
Each Meili GPS tracker has an SOS button, but it doesn't call the emergency services, it alerts YOUR team members via the Meili Earth app, reporting the tracker's location, on 1:25,000 outdoor maps, and enabling you to manage the incident or escalate it as required.
This is so important, because we know that 99% of the time, when there is an issue in the outdoors, whether on school trips, or when your family is skiing, or hiking, you don't need a helicopter but you do need to know where the incident has happened, and how to get to the tracker location, and then you can assess, and decide what happens next.
With Meili GPS you're in control.
Who is Meili GPS designed for?
MITIGATE RISK WITH MEILI GPS
Are you in charge of a group of people, or young people, going on an organised trip or trek? Scouts, Cadets, Duke of Edinburgh, School Trips in the Outdoors? Are you a Mountain Leader, Ski Instructor or Ski School Manager?
Meili GPS allows you to monitor your participants, globally, whether individually or in groups, and gives you, and your team, the ability to respond to incidents, thereby mitigating risk.
Or perhaps you like to head out solo: on hikes, on two wheels, on piste or off piste?
Meili GPS trackers will report your location, route and status to the users that you authorise, for example a partner, spouse or family member.
Are you responsible for a young person, perhaps walking solo to and from school each day, or on a Gap Year?
With Meili GPS you can monitor their route, and location, and respond to an SOS alert triggered by the SOS button on the Meili tracker.
Now that we have Meili GPS, I don't know how we ever managed without it.
Georgina Neville Duke of Edinburgh Award Expedition Organiser
"We trialled Meili GPS for our school's Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award expedition, distributing the Meili GPS trackers among the pupils. Midway through the first day one of our groups was hopelessly lost in the forest and there was an incident that required urgent medical treatment. The Meili app alerted us on our mobiles, and led us directly to the location. It averted a serious incident from developing. Now that we have Meili GPS, I don't know how we ever managed without it."

Frequently Asked Questions
Meili GPS trackers enable you to track groups and individuals when in the outdoors, worldwide.
Meili GPS Trackers are affordable which means you can choose to assign a tracker to each group or each individual, and then monitor tracker location, route and status on 1:25,000 outdoor maps.
Each Meili has a SOS button which when pressed sends a notification to authorised users via the Meilli Earth app .
Meili GPS uses GPS satellites to determine its location and reports its position back via specialised radio signals using a built in SIM just like your phone but unlike your phone it uses NB-iot and LTE-M radio signals which give it much greater range. Unlike AirTag or other bluetooth devices Meili GPS works worldwide and independently without a connection to a phone as long as there is a local network available.
Meili uses proper 1:25000 outdoor mapping from the country you are in, initially Meili ships with ThunderForest Outdoor Maps.
AirTags report their location to your phone but they need to be close to an Apple device in order to work - currently 100 feet or less. If the AirTag is not within 100 feet of an Apple device it will not be able to report its position.
Meili GPS trackers work independently, they don't need a phone nearby to function: Meili trackers have a long battery life (14 days) and use GPS satellites and NB-IoT technology to fix and communicate their location to the Meili app.
The Meili Global Airtime Plan will work in most countries in the world. There are currently a few exceptions, such as in locations where the use of GPS trackers are illegal and/or current geopolitics do not support our communications capabilites, but for most of the world's adventure playgrounds you are covered by the Meili Global Airtime Plan.
Meili has been designed from the ground up to be group focused.
This means you can track and monitor as many Meili GPS Trackers as you need to, and SAFELY share the Tracker info with as many people as you need via the Meili sharing centre.
Battery life is dependent on the conditions in which the Meili GPS Tracker is working and how frequently it is asked to report its location. It automatically goes into power saving mode when it's not in motion and In testing we have shown that a battery life of two weeks / 400 hours is normal with 10 minute updates and when in motion for 12 hours a day.
Each Meili GPS Tracker requires an active Airtime Plan in order to send location updates, status updates and alerts.
All the fees required to do this are included in a single Global Airtime Plan.
You can cancel your Airtime Plan at any time, or pause and restart your subscription as required.
Simply order the number of Meili GPS Trackers you require, and then sign up for a matching number of Global Airtime Plan slots.
When your Meili GPS Trackers arrive you will need to download the Meili Earth app for Android or Apple, and follow the on-screen instructions in order to login and activate your Meili GPS Trackers.
When working with groups, particularly Under 18s, it is essential that Tracker data is kept secure and not misused or shared inadvertently with third parties.
It was for this reason that we created Meili Sharing Sessions. As an Administrator you are able to create a Sharing Session with a defined Start Date and End Date.
You can then add one or more Trackers to the Sharing Session.
A sharebable link is autogenerated which you can send to the users that you authorise, such as volunteers on an expedition.
Authorised volunteers can download the Meili Earth app (for free) and monitor tracker location and routes, and respond to Tracker SOS alerts for as long as the Sharing Session remains active, or until you, as the Administrator, revoke access.
Meili Sharing Sessions mean that you can mitigate risk, whilst monitoring and safeguarding groups in the outdoors.

Risk Assessments and GPS Trackers for Expeditions
A thorough risk assessment is a legal and ethical necessity for any Duke of Edinburgh Award Expedition or similar outdoor activity. The selection of an appropriate GPS tracker plays a pivotal role in ensuring participant safety. Trackers must be purpose-built for expeditions, capable of operating offline, providing detailed mapping, supporting multiple coordinate systems, and ensuring stringent data security.
GPS Trackers for Ski Trips
Smartphones rely on cellular networks, which can be spotty or nonexistent in mountainous or remote ski areas. MeiliGPS trackers, using advanced NB-IoT technology, offer superior signal coverage compared to smartphones. This means you’ll have a much higher likelihood of maintaining connectivity in areas where traditional cellular service might fail, ensuring accurate location tracking for everyone in the group.
