Duke of Edinburgh Award

Providing a YB3 for each team on your trek allows you to keep an eye on their location, while allowing them to make navigational mistakes and (hopefully!) learn from them without intervention. You can also review the track data with them after the event, and use as a teaching aid and historical record.

Why Choose YB Tracking?

Expedition Viewer

Our web-based map interface shows positions on both Google and OS mapping.

Alert Responders

YB3 units are equipped with an alert button, plus two way text-based messaging (inc. emails).

Truly Global

Our YB units work anywhere on Earth, and so do we. It doesn't matter where your students roam.

Long-Life Battery

Transmitting every 15 minutes, the YB3 will last for up to 3 weeks.

Clever Tech

We can speed up and slow down tracking in higher-risk areas. Automatic alerts, too.

Replay Afterwards

Use the expedition viewer to replay the expedition afterwards; data available for 3 years.

How does it work?

We know that you have a lot of things to deal with when organising Duke of Edinburgh expeditions. Our aim is to make the 'tracking' part as simple as possible for you. We provide:

Delivery to you, and collection afterwards
Global service - anywhere in the world
The YB3 trackers
Our award-winning web-based expedition viewer
Two-way messaging for student assistance
Replay facilities
Support before, during, and after your event
Access to our Apple/Android app

Our YB trackers have very large battery capacities, and are designed to work for long durations. When the trackers arrive with you, they just need to be given to the students, attached to the outside of their rucksack (or similar), and then turned on by pressing a button.

We take it from there, and make sure that the units are working, and help get everything ready for the start of the race.

YB trackers have been used by many schools and organisations for years to provide a valuable monitoring and safety tool for their treks. When you choose YB, you're in safe hands.

Team Positions

We provide various ways for you to see the positions of your teams:

A web-based map interface, which shows positions on both Google and OS mapping
A low bandwidth graphic display, for use on a mobile phone when in the field
Text-based lat / long and OS-grid data, for easy use in very bad mobile-data coverage areas.
