A system for monitoring the location of individuals, such as parolees, includes a wearable device worn by the individual and a portable device operatively coupled to the wearable device. The garments or other items are placed in the device on conventional plastic hangers leaving space in between each item. Navigation data message portions may be recorded and transmitted from the ones of the plural mobile devices to the location determining system.
