Abstract: An electronic locator system comprised of at least a beacon, a display assembly and a key. The beacon receives a GPS signal, calculates its position and wirelessly re-broadcasts the encrypted position. The display assembly is only able to receive and decrypt the encrypted position information when in close proximity to the key. The location of the beacon is thereby only available to the person who has both the display assembly and the key. Because both the key and the display assembly must be in close proximity to each other the likelihood of an unauthorized person being able to receive location of the beacon is reduced. Optionally, the display assembly may have alert parameters to notify the user of the display assembly when the beacon has crossed a predetermined boundary.
