Location sharing for caregivers and elderly parents: gentle, practical guides
Caring for an older parent often means a lot of small worries: did they get home, is the phone charged, why aren't they picking up. These guides are about setting things up once, with their agreement, so that the worry has somewhere to go besides a phone call every hour.

Quick answers
- Does an older parent need to learn anything to use Traxl?
- Not much. Once the app is set up and background sharing is allowed, it runs on its own. The setup is the part worth doing together, in one sitting.
- Will Traxl call an ambulance for my parent?
- No. SOS and crash detection alert the people in your Circle. They do not contact emergency services.
