GeoZilla is a family locator that puts driving safety close to the center. Its App Store listing says you can locate family with the phone's GPS, know when they leave or arrive at a place, see where they have been during the day and know if they are speeding or using their phone while driving. GeoZilla's site adds Crash Detection, which alerts emergency contacts, and driver coaching based on phone motion sensors. Members can check in, send emergency alerts and get low battery notices. Premium adds unlimited location alerts and circles, Driver Protection for the whole family, 2 weeks of location history and an option to stop sharing your location. Pricing is the weak spot: the US App Store lists Premium Monthly at $19.99 alongside quarterly and yearly options, while the GeoZilla site shows $59.99 every 3 months, so compare before you subscribe. Location sharing is opt-in, and GeoZilla's listing requires consent from every circle member.
