LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / January 21, 2015 / GTX Corp. (OTC: GTXO), a pioneer and global provider of personal location wearable technologies announced today more than 550 of its standalone GPS trackers are being used to track the whereabouts of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in the event of a fly-away. GTX channel partner, DroneMods.com utilizes a small, lightweight, self-powered, standalone GPS module that attaches to UAVs. In the event a pilot loses site of his drone or experiences a fly-away, they simply call the phone number assigned to the UAV Locator and within a few minutes, the pilot will receive a text message and an email from the GTX Corp monitoring platform, containing a Google Maps link with the GPS (latitude/longitude) coordinates of the UAV.
