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.

Having a system that consolidates and shares location data with relevant third parties—such as volunteers or first responders—makes incident management faster, more efficient, and more organized.
May Meili Trials: Iceland
Nothing prepares you for the landscape of Iceland. Nothing. 1 hour in I knew that there was no way this was going to be an 8 hour drive, it would be more like 11. I had to stop every time a rise gave way to vistas that I did not know existed. Like an enormous AI had been asked to 3D print it's version of Mordor meets North of the Wall.
Simon Purves, the genius, is a very happy Head of R&D because Meili is awesome.
Real time location tracking everywhere.
Literally everywhere. 💥 And 48 hours in of real time tracking 365/24/7 and the battery is still at 75%

The Meilis worked perfectly, reporting our locations all week on a single charge, long after our phones had run out of juice! This was the point, yes, you can take £1000+ iPhones along with you. But good luck keeping them charged for days on end.
Even with several mobile battery banks and mini solar panels our phones were out of charge within 36 hours.
Our concept: keep your phone in airplane mode, use it for photos and videos, but let the Meilis do the hard work, tracking your route, reporting your location, keeping you connected so that if the need arises, the phone can be turned on and used as an emergency comms device. And if the the phone is out of charge, don't stress, use the FindMe/SOS button on the Meili.
