The nonprofit AmberWatch Foundation has announced the new AmberWatch Mobile GPS tracking service for cell phones, designed to help protect children from sexual predators and other risks.

Scheduled to become available beginning in September 2007, AmberWatch Mobile’s services will include text-message, voice, web and email alerting systems that provide:

Alerts: Individuals will be able to send alerts, which include their GPS location, to family and friends to indicate that they need assistance.
Location Views: Select family and friends who will be able to view a loved one’s location on a map from a PC or mobile phone.
Scheduled Checks: Parents will be able to set up “scheduled checks” so they will be automatically notified that their children are where they should be, like arriving at home from school.
Phone Tree: When a loved one feels threatened and sends an alert, if their primary contact is not reachable, the system will continue to be active until a secondary contact is reached.

Approximately half of the proceeds from product sales go to the Foundation in support of its programs educating children and their parents on how to stay safe from sexual predators.
