My dad and I have been using "Automatic" for the last eight months. With his early to mid-stage dementia he still does a little driving. My dad occasionally gets lost and this is just peace of mind for both of us. The small gold and white device plugs in under his steering wheel. I know when he is "on the move" when I hear the Automatic app on my phone "honk".
The app is amazing. It is very accurate. It tells me where my dad is, how he is driving, and also keeps a history of his trips. There is no monthly charge and will be "active" for five years. After that, if your loved one is still driving you would have to buy another one. The device costs $130, so that turns out to be $26/year. Pretty cheap if you ask me. The peace of mind provided for our family is priceless!
You can find Automatic here. * I don't get any money for linking the product. Just trying to be friendly. ;)
