GPS Tracking for Everyone
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, from a single charge.
And our Meili Map & Track app, for iOS and Android devices, shows you where everyone is on 1:25,000 outdoor maps, worldwide.
Each Meili tracker has an SOS button, but it doesn't call the emergency services, it alerts YOUR team members via the Meili app, via SMS and even via text to voice calls, direct to their mobiles, telling them your tracker's location and status.
That's so important, because we know that 99% of the time, when there is an issue on school trips, or when your family is skiing, you don't need to send a helicopter (at least not straight away!), you just need to know where they are, how to find them and then you can assess what happens next.

Who is Meili for?
Meili GPS
Are you in charge of a group of people, or young people, going on an organised trip or trek?
Meili is for you!
Do you like to head out solo?
On hikes, on two wheels, on piste, off piste?
Want to disconnect but let your loved ones know your location?
Meili is for you!
Are you responsible for a young person, perhaps walking solo to and from school each day, or on a Gap Year?
Meili is for you too!
"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 unable to describe their location beyond saying 'there are a lot of trees!'. The Meili app on our mobiles led us directly to their location and averted an incident that would probably have required the deployment of Search & Rescue. Now that we have Meili GPS, I don't know how we ever managed without it."

Frequently Asked Questions
Meili GPS lets you track people worldwide. This means you can manage groups of people by knowing where they are at all times. Each Meili has a 'SOS' button which when pressed sends a notification to anyone with the app letting them know someone needs help.
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 need to be close to an apple device to track objects. If the AirTag is not within range of an apple device it will not be able to report its position. Meili GPS uses GPS and NB-IoT to determine its location and then report it to you entirely independently, and it does this world wide.
The range is infinite as Meili Trackers work independently. You could have a Meili on the other side of the world and it will still report its location.
Meili has been designed from the ground up to be group focussed. This means you can track as many Meilis as you want and share the locations with as many people as you need via the Meili sharing centre.
Battery life is dependent on the conditions in which the Meili 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.
Yes, you each Meili 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 your subscription and allow it to connect from anywhere in the world. You can of course cancel at any time or pause and restart your subscription when you need to.
Just order the number of Meilis you need and then signup for a matching number of subscription slots. When your Meilis arrive just download our app for Android or Apple and flow the on screen instructions to login and activate your Meilis. You can share locations with as many people as you need to and manage every Meili remotely all from the app.
