I received an email about this company:  LYNQ.

I have not used the product and I have no affiliation.  But, it seems like it could be a very good idea for groups that have a potential of being separated – like trail riders, endurance riders and field photographers.  OR… KEEPING TRACK of your off lease pet…. OR, using attached to a halter if you have to release your horse due to disaster.

OR, just keep it on your horse’s bridle and your belt – if you are a back country rider – in case you have a spooking accident.

I can think of a million ways to use this!  I bet you can, too.  (Tracking your kids, your elder parent… )

LYNQ ANNOUNCES COMMERCIAL SHIPPING OF PEOPLE COMPASS THAT KEEPS GROUPS TOGETHER WITHOUT THE NEED FOR PHONES OR CONNECTIVITY

Launch follows successful Indiegogo campaign that raised over $1.7 million and shipping to presale backers

Las Vegas – January 6, 2020 – Keeping tabs of friends and family at ski slopes, parks, festivals and pretty much anywhere in the outdoors just got easier. LynQ is the people compass that keeps groups together by locating anyone without the need for phones, networks or infrastructure of any kind. After selling more than 20,000 units totaling in $1.7 million in presales on Indiegogo and shipping to its campaign backers, LynQ announced today it is officially commercially shipping.

“We’ve all been in a situation where we are trying to find or stay connected with a friend, family member or colleague in a crowded space or during an off-the-grid activity, but our phones, apps and trackers that require signal just don’t work. LynQ is intended to help people enjoy activities together without waiting, worrying and wandering around, looking for their group,” said Karina Costa, President of LynQ.

Available today on lynqme.com, LynQ features an intuitive compass-like display that allows people to see their relative distance and direction from each other, keeping people together even when other technology fails. It has been rigorously tested in many outdoor exercises through partnerships with organizations across multiple industries, including winter sports, festivals, theme parks and even the government. In a joint exercise between the U.S. and Thai governments, LynQ was able to demonstrate a reduction of time spent locating wounded soldiers by 61 percent – a result published in a formal government report by U.S. Pacific Command (USPACOM).

Easy-to-Use By Everyone

Ideal for outdoor adventures, LynQ allows groups of up to 12 to find each other across miles without the need for phones, apps, subscription fees and reliance on cell phone networks. The weather-proof, clip- on device uses a proprietary software to display each users’ distance and direction from each other in real-time and allows for tens of thousands of devices to work in the same vicinity.

LynQ can be set up in seconds, pairing devices and enter names with a simple one-button interface. A simple click allows users to move between their group members, displaying a user’s name, arrow and number of feet that are visible under any conditions on a backlit and glare-protected screen. Users can also set boundaries for their group, receiving sound, optical and vibration alerts the instant someone leaves the safe zone, which is perfect for young kids, pets and those with special needs or Alzheimer’s. In addition, a “homebase” (i.e. base camp, car, ski lift or hotel) can be set as an anchor for everyone to find each other.
