Wondering where your kids are? GlobalSat comes to the rescue with their TR-101, a handy GPS with a GSM Module. Basically the TR-101 can send the exact position of your kids by SMS or by GPRS over the internet at any time, but it can also be used as a phone with the possibility to record up to 3 different telephone numbers.

- It can filter incoming calls for up to 10 phone numbers. Only these 10 numbers can call in to the TR-101’s and check its position.
- 3 quick dialing buttons for preset phone numbers.
- Works worldwide! Support 4-frequency GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz.
- SOS button send out exact location for immediate rescue/action.

I am interested in purchasing a TR101 GPS tracking device and was wondering how I could go about doing this. My concerns that I would like to find out about would be can it work indoors, vehicles, range limitations-if any, and within steel structures such as elevators. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
