The world is facing the problem of aging population. According to statistics from the Ministry of the Interior of Taiwan, the proportion of elderly people in Taiwan reached 13.66% in September, 2016, and this problem is becoming increasingly serious. The olds need more attention in medical care, nursing care, living assistance, and entertainment. Among them, the more frequent problems in tourism and mountaineering are getting lost. This paper proposes a system that is suitable for elderly’s travel safety and prevention of missing. It is named as The Location Tracking System. It uses smart mobile devices to obtain user's location through Global Positioning System (GPS), and then uses Android system to integrate cloud database, setting user’s safety distance to prevent missing and danger. The system also provides function for SOS. When users need, it will promptly notify and seek for help, making the elder travel safer and more convenient.
