Pupils feel reassured that we can find them using the Mapyx tracking system if they get lost. We have many expedition groups out at the same time and therefore having such an easy-to-use system as Mapyx is essential. We can see pupils in real time, locate a group by quick text or TrackWeb, and can see where they have been walking and where they went wrong.
