GPS Tracker for Hiking, Camping & Mountain Climbing: How Loko Keeps You Safe and Connected Off the Grid
For outdoor enthusiasts, exploring nature is both a passion and a way to disconnect from daily life. But when you venture deep into forests, climb high into the mountains, or set up camp far from civilization, being truly off the grid also means one thing: no cell signal. In these remote locations, safety, navigation, and staying connected with your group become essential—and that’s where Loko comes in.
Loko, an offline GPS tracker developed by Nolilab, is purpose-built for outdoor adventures. Lightweight, rugged, and incredibly efficient, Loko works entirely without internet or mobile networks. It’s the perfect companion for hikers, climbers, campers, and outdoor explorers who value freedom—and safety.
Why GPS Tracking Matters for Outdoor Adventures
When you’re hiking unfamiliar trails, camping in remote valleys, or summiting peaks, knowing your exact location—and being able to share it—can be critical. Consider these scenarios:
A hiker loses their way after dark with no phone reception.
A group member falls behind on the trail and can’t be contacted.
A climber is injured and the team needs to coordinate a response.
Parents want to keep track of kids at a large camp or in the woods.
In these situations, traditional GPS apps on smartphones offer limited support, relying on mobile data or Wi-Fi to send locations. That’s not enough when you’re far from coverage.
How Loko Works — and Why It’s Different
Loko doesn’t depend on cellular networks, satellite subscriptions, or internet access. Instead, it uses LoRa (Long Range Radio) technology to send GPS location data from the Loko Air (transmitter) to the Loko Ground (receiver). The receiver connects to your smartphone via Bluetooth, where the free Loko app displays your real-time location and tracking history using offline maps (OpenStreetMap).
