VIPs will be handed a handheld gps device, called EventTrack, which will allow them to navigate around Beijing during the times of the Olympics. Besides being a GPS unit, VIPs will be able to use the unit to send messages for pick up and drop off locations. Because the Olympics are a world wide event, planners have said that they will be able to change the language of the device to be compatible to specific VIPs. The device will try and solve two problems Olympic planners are trying to avoid: traffic and security.
How do the planners actually decide who is considered a VIP? It seems that if you are invited to participate in the Olympics, you should be considered a VIP. Also, China should also do more than hand out gps devices to protect athletes for security purposes. There is so many more things that can and will need to be done to protect everyone on the scurity level.
