Accurate Location for Parents’ Peace of Mind: Meet PinPoint®

Accurate Location for Parents’ Peace of Mind: Meet PinPoint®

PinPoint® technology is the heart of the LAMAX WatchY4 Play, WatchY4 Plus, and the new WatchY4 Sport kids’ smartwatches. It tracks exactly where your children are and allows easy communication. This way, you can keep their safety under control – even when you’re not around. 

What is PinPoint®?

PinPoint® is an advanced location system that combines multiple technologies for maximum accuracy

  • GPS (Global Positioning System) – satellite-based positioning 
  • A-GPS (Assisted GPS) – faster signal acquisition via the mobile network 
  • Wi-Fi – location detection in areas with available Wi-Fi networks 
  • Accelerometer – motion sensor for improved accuracy 
  • LBS (Location-Based Services) – location via cell towers 

Thanks to this combination, you’ll always know where your children are. 

PinPoint® 2.0 – More Accurate, More Reliable 

In the new generation, we’ve taken PinPoint® even further, making it more accurate and practical for parents

    • GPS First – the watch now prioritizes GPS, even when viewing location history, giving you a clearer view of where your child really was. 
    • Minimal LBS – used only as a last resort when neither GPS nor Wi-Fi is available, resulting in more reliable data. 
    • Wi-Fi Position Adjustment – if a location isn’t quite right, you can simply drag the pin to the correct spot in the app. 

    With PinPoint® 2.0, you can count on having a clear overview of your child’s location – whether they’re at school, on the playground, or on a trip. 

    More Safety and Communication Features 

    • Safe Zones – set up virtual boundaries, like school or home. You’ll get instant alerts if your child leaves or enters a zone. 
    • SOS Button – your child can press it in an emergency to contact you right away. 
    • LAMAX Connect App – easy voice messages, video calls, and texts. 
    • FamilyCareConnect® – keeps the whole family connected in a secure way. 
    • FriendsConnect® – safe connection with up to 60 friends who also have LAMAX watches, without the internet. 

    With PinPoint® and all these features, parents get peace of mind, while kids get the freedom they crave. And that’s the perfect combination.
