Safety is a must in every trip you make, especially if it is an area you are not familiar with. Here are some tips that use technology to consider when exploring a new neighborhood to keep safe. For peace of mind, choose a premium condo residence with advanced security systems like Elta where your safety is paramount.
Do Some Online Research Before Going
Research the route you are taking to get an idea of how far will it be, how long will it take, what to expect to see so you’ll have an image in your mind of what is in the area and the neighborhood before deciding to go and travel.
Bring a Power Bank
Having a power bank with you can help keep your phone powered up while exploring the new neighborhood and when you need to contact friends and family about your whereabouts, or a local hotline in case something goes wrong.
Attach an AirTag for Valuables
A tip you want to consider is attaching an AirTag to your important items so you can track your belongings and find them just in case you do lose something while you are looking around in a neighborhood you are not familiar with.
Install a Dash Cam to Your Vehicle
Get a dash cam for your car and set it on record just in case something happens to your car or an unfortunate event happens, to get insurance or to use as evidence. It’s also a great way to record your road trip and capture your adventures and the scenery.
Have Google Maps or Apple Maps Ready
Apple Maps and Google Maps are useful tools available on your phone for finding what you would like to see in the area and exploring if you are curious and want to look around without getting lost.
