Home and School alerts for the moments that matter
Those milestones cover the parts of many ordinary journeys that parents actually care about: leaving Home, reaching School, leaving School and returning Home. The Family Map remains available when one of those moments needs more explanation.
The alerts rely on background location reports from the phone, so GPS drift around buildings, weak connectivity, permissions, battery-saving behaviour and operating-system restrictions can all affect timing.
Guardian cannot promise perfectly accurate location, continuous tracking or guaranteed notification delivery. Its SOS feature gives a connected child device another way to reach trusted adults, but Guardian is not an emergency service.
Quick questions
Are Guardian safe-zone alerts always immediate?
No. They are intended to be useful and timely, but GPS conditions, connectivity and phone settings can delay when a boundary event is reported.
Can a safe-zone alert be wrong?
Phone-based location can sometimes drift or update late, so a place alert should be treated as useful context rather than proof of an exact position.
Which Guardian safe zones make the clearest starting point?
Home and School are useful everyday starting points because their arrival and leaving events often match familiar family routines.
