A:Answer No, this watch is not the best solution to your problem. Reason is b/c you have to start and stop GPS. This would require your dad or mom to start the GPS before going somewhere. If this was my family member, I would buy a sporting device people use to track their family when they are on long mountain climbs, hikes, or bike trips. A good friend uses a GPS tracker called "SPOT" when he does cycling trips that last days or weeks. His wife and good friends can log on to the web and see a detailed google style map and icon showing his location. I track my friend's bike trips this way and it works well. Your mom/dad could put this in your dad's pocket or hang it around his neck. If he was missing, your mom, you, friends could log on to pull up a map of where your dad is located.
